Ans: No, only
shortlisted candidates are issued with Admit Card for STAR Phase-II
Selection Test.
Ans: Shortlisting of
candidates for STAR Phase-II is done by applying cut-off to call a
sizeable number of candidates for STAR Phase-II testing at various
ASCs. Candidate’s name appearing as having been shortlisted
solely depends upon the performance of the candidates in the
online Written Test. This list only depicts names of candidates
who have qualified to appear in STAR Phase-II testing i.e, the
second phase of testing. The number of candidates figuring in
this list is drawn considering the likely vacancies and wastage
during subsequent stages of testing.
Ans: Merely obtaining
passing marks in the STAR Phase-I Selection Test is not sufficient
for issue of Admit Card for STAR Phase-II Selection Test. Admit card
for STAR Phase-II Selection Test is issued to candidates who meet
the cut off criteria applied for STAR Phase-II Selection Test.
Ans: Candidates who
have cleared the Selection Tests comprising of Written Test,
PFT-I, PFT-II, Adaptability Test-I and Adaptability Test-II,
and have undergone Medical Test (whether declared Fit or
Unfit), have to secure place in Provisional Select List (PSL)
published pertaining to the exam cycle in which one has cleared
the Selection Test.
Ans: It is a list of
candidates (published as per their Roll Number) who could not
make it in PSL as they are low in merit.
Ans: Merely clearing
the Selection Tests does not guarantee appearing of names in
the PSL. Names not appearing in the PSL denotes that you are
low in merit. You can also check for the PSL Cut off marks
printed on PSL to compare your individual score in selection
test.
Ans: Green Cards are
issued to the candidates who pass the Medical Examination
during Selection Tests. Issue of Green Card does not give any
guarantee for enrolment in IAF. Medical Examination is one
among the various criteria for enrolment and it only denotes
medical Status of the candidates.
Ans: CSV stands for
“Certificate Subject to Verification”. This is because, there
is an anomaly in your documents/certificates. This was
intimated to you at the time of Selection Test and an
undertaking was given by you to clear the anomaly and produce
corrected certificate(s) within the given timeframe. The
indication of ‘CSV’ against your name in PSL denotes that you
have to clear the CSV status within the stipulated time. The
candidature of candidates who fail to get the CSV cleared
within the stipulated timeframe, gets automatically cancelled
on the day of enrolment. However, keeping in view the
procedural delay in Educational Boards, your candidature is not
cancelled and your CSV status is maintained to avoid
cancellation of candidature. You are advised to get the anomaly
cleared by the date as mentioned on the first page of PSL. If
the CSV is not cleared, your candidature will get automatically
cancelled on the day of enrolment.
Ans: To clear the CSV status, you have to report to Commanding Officer of any one of the fourteen ASCs which is located close to your place/convenient to you. You have to produce the following documents for clearance of CSV status:-
- CSV Undertaking Certificate handed over to you at the time of Selection Test.
- All Original Documents that you have produced in support of your qualification at the time of Selection Test. Also, all original documents you want to produce for clearance of your CSV status.
- Three sets of self-attested photocopies of these documents.
Ans: A copy of the PSL
Display List will be available at the ASC under which you have
appeared in the selection test. In case you have appeared in
Recruitment Rally conducted by IAF, a copy of PSL Display List
will also be available in District Collector’s /District
Magistrate’s Office under whose jurisdiction the Rally has been
conducted.
Ans: e-Call Letters are
dispatched to candidates well in advance on the e-mail ID
provided by the candidates at the time of Selection Tests. In
case, you do not receive e-Call Letter, you can take print out
of the page of enrolment list in which your name appears from
website https://agnipathvayu.cdac.in
and report to the concerned ASC at the time and date mentioned
therein. You are also advised to download and bring along the
duly filled ‘Consent form’ (applicable only for the candidates
below 18 years of age on the date of enrolment), follow the
instructions given in the ‘Joining Instructions’ and
‘Instructions for candidates’ available on the website.
Ans: Yes, you have to
report as directed in your e-Call Letter, else you will be
marked as absent and your candidature against your Roll Number
will automatically get cancelled. Thereafter, you will not be
considered for future enrolments against that Roll Number.
Candidates are called as ‘Stand by’ to cater for shortfall
which arises due to non-availability of Main candidates on the
day of enrolment due to various reasons ie. Absenteeism,
Unwillingness, Medical Unfitness etc.
Ans: At the time of
enrolment of the candidate before final induction at the
concerned ASC, a fresh medical examination is carried out to
ascertain the fitness of the individual on the day of
enrolment. Any shortfall in medical fitness vis-à-vis the entry
medical standards will entail rejection even at this stage.
Ans: No, you will not
be considered. You have to report to CO, ASC on date and time
as directed in your e-Call Letter. Enrolment is a time bound
activity and it is to be completed as per schedule. If you do
not report as directed in your e-Call Letter, you will be
marked as ABSENT on the day of enrolment and the next eligible
‘STAND BY’ candidate as per merit, will be enrolled. Your
candidature will get cancelled automatically and you will not
be called for future enrolments in IAF against that Roll
Number.
Ans: No, merely
clearing the selection test or securing place in PSL does not
give guarantee for enrolment in IAF. You have to undergo whole
enrolment process and your enrolment will be subjected to
availability of vacancy on the date of enrolment, your merit
position and your medical fitness.
Ans: No, you will not
be considered for future enrolments against that Roll No as the
PSL in which your name figured is valid for only one Intake and
it will get expired before enrolment for next Intake. However,
you may appear afresh if you meet the eligibility criteria for
the next Agniveervayu selection examination but no weightage of
your this attempt will be given.
Ans: No, there is no
such provision of lien for candidates called for enrolment as
the Selection Tests are conducted for enrolment in a particular
Intake only.
Ans: Intimation
regarding your Medical Fitness had not been received at CASB at
the time of publishing of PSL. However, if you are medically
fit and figure in the merit list, you will be called for
enrolment which will be subject to your medical fitness during
pre-enrolment and availability of vacancies.
Ans: If the delay in
enrolment is due to unforeseen circumstances or pandemic,
necessary waivers will be given as per the policy in vogue.
Ans: Only candidates
are permitted to come to the enrolment venue. Parents /
Guardians are advised not to accompany the candidates. No
accommodation will be provided to Parents/Guardians at
enrolment venue by the Indian Air Force.

figures in the enrolment list published on CASB website https://agnipathvayu.cdac.in you can take
print out of the page of enrolment list in which your name
appears from website https://agnipathvayu.cdac.in
and report to the concerned ASC at the time and date mentioned
therein. You are also advised to download and bring along the
duly filled ‘Consent form’ (applicable only for the candidates
below 18 years of age on the date of enrolment), follow the
instructions given in the ‘Joining Instructions’ and
‘Instructions for candidates’ available on the website.
