IAF Agniveer Vayu 02/2027: Complete Details
What Agniveervayu 02/2027 is
Under the Agnipath scheme, the Indian Air Force takes unmarried young men and women for a four-year engagement as Agniveervayu, a separate rank from regular Airmen. This selection test is only for intake 02/2027 and is not for officers, pilots or regular Airmen. After four years, up to a quarter of each batch can be selected into the regular cadre, while the rest leave with a Seva Nidhi package and a skill certificate.
Age and educational qualification
Candidates must be born between 1 July 2005 and 1 January 2010, and those selected must be 22 or younger on enrolment. For the science paper you need Class 12 with Mathematics, Physics and English, or an engineering diploma or vocational course as listed, with 50% overall and 50% in English. Any stream qualifies for the other-than-science paper, with the same 50% rule, and marks are never rounded up.
Pay, Seva Nidhi and insurance
The package is ₹30,000 a month in the first year, then ₹33,000, ₹36,500 and ₹40,000, of which about 70% is paid in hand and 30% goes into the Agniveer corpus with an equal contribution from the government. After four years this gives roughly ₹10.04 lakh as Seva Nidhi, excluding interest. Agniveers also get a ₹48 lakh non-contributory life insurance cover, 30 days' annual leave, and medical and CSD facilities, but no pension, gratuity or ex-servicemen status.
Online exam and marking
Phase I is an online test in English and Hindi (except the English paper). The science paper takes 60 minutes, the other-than-science paper 45 minutes, and both together 85 minutes. You get 1 mark for each correct answer and lose 0.25 marks for each wrong one, and you must clear each paper separately. Marks are normalised, and the cut-off for Phase II is set state-wise.
Physical test, medical standards and fee
In Phase II, men must run 1.6 km within 7 minutes and women within 8 minutes. After a 10-minute rest, men do 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups and 20 squats, one minute each, and women do 10 sit-ups in 90 seconds and 15 squats in a minute. The minimum height is 152 cm, and LASIK or PRK eye surgery, braces and most tattoos lead to rejection. The exam fee was ₹550 plus GST.
