How to join Pakistan Air Force (PAF)?

Dolphin, if u have the booklet given by PAF which is actually an Officer career brochure, then there is all written in it!
still let me define it for you..

First of All you have to get yourself registered in your Nearest PAF Selection Center, The Registrations are open twice a year.. once in Feb and then in August!Check Local newspaper for ad or PAF website here PAKISTAN AIR FORCE - Official website

When You will get registered you will be given a test date.. A test will be conducted through E-Testing at PAf Selection Centres.
As a GDp Candidate u will go through the Intelligence, Physics and English test.. and if you are going For (CAE) Aeronautical Engineering you will also take an additional Maths test!

If You are able to Qualify in This Test you will be Called for an Initial medical Test at Selection Centre.

If you are FIT in medical Tests you will be then Given ISSB forums to fill up..
ISSB is a 4 day Test. You can find out more about this test here => ISSB

Getting Recommended by ISSB is necessary to go further, after the Recomendation of ISSb you will be called for CMB Test!

CMB is special medical test conducted by PAF. Its held in Masroor Air Force Base Karachi.

Thankyou for your response netgeek that was greatly informative. I didn't understand what the selection procedures meant specifically in the brochure, so your reply clarifies that.

Also do you have any idea the amount of time these tests take i.e can it be done over a period of a few months or one year...or even one month- if you're successful for each one?

It takes 4 to 6 months from the registration to the reporting at risalpur. :wave:

Assalaamu alaykum!

I am intending to submit my application form and interest in July this year for the PAF GDP position (as a graduate position).

Firstly i'd like to know when the deadline for the submission of the form is for this year?

Also by what time/months would the test centres carry out interviews and medical/FAT etc tests? What do the PAF flying aptitude tests involve?

Thanks!

P.S- I already have the PAF information booklet regarding the positions and tests but i'm still unsure about the flying aptitude test.
I will tremendously appreciate everyones responses

Thanks for replying!
Wow i'm astounded they haven't opened graduate GDP in so many years. I assumed they offered positions every year. Well i just pray that they do open GDP for graduates this and next year insha'A.

Do you know the number of female positions they may normally accept for GDP? And once you register, how long do you have to wait for the test dates (for psych/eng/phys)?

Not a specific number, those who qualified can join........the procedure of SSC is differen than PC. In this u go for initial test and then to head office peshawar. After registration it take 15 to 20 days.I guess not sure. Sir MURADAK is the right man to consult.

It depends upon the requirement. They open oppertunities surely in feb and mostly in Aug. They allow two batches/year.
If u r doing ur FSc then why an airman? why not commissioned officer?
Ur FSc-II exams will be done in june and ur result will be in aug-september. You can apply with a letter of hope 4m u principal that u'll clear the exams.
PAF Advertise once and u have 8-10 days to register urself.
U can purchase Application forms from Selection center of ur city. The following link will be helpfull.
