The Indian Air Force (IAF) has officially activated the correction window for the AFCAT 02/2025 recruitment batch. This crucial opportunity is available only from 14th to 15th July 2025. Candidates who have already submitted their application forms are now allowed to review and rectify any incorrect information they might have entered during the initial application process. The correction facility is a one-time opportunity and should be taken seriously, as inaccurate details could lead to disqualification at later stages.
Whether you made a mistake in your personal details, uploaded the wrong photograph, or entered incorrect academic information, this is your final chance to fix everything before your application is locked for processing.
Why Is the Edit Window So Important?
The Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) is a national-level competitive examination conducted twice a year by the Indian Air Force for recruitment into Flying Branch, Ground Duty (Technical), and Ground Duty (Non-Technical) branches. With thousands of aspirants applying for limited seats, the selection process is rigorous and detail-driven. Even a minor error in your application can lead to rejection either during the document verification process or at the time of the SSB interview.
Therefore, the IAF provides a short correction window to help aspirants ensure their application meets all eligibility and documentation standards.
