I have completed my engineering course named B.Tech from a very good university. now I want to join the IAF. so I would like to know about how can any one take direct entry into the Indian air force? Also give me the details bout the career option for taking direct entry into the Indian air force?

An Engineer can apply as an officer in any of the Aeronautical engineering streams such as Electronics and Mechanical of the Technical Branch via Direct Entry Scheme or University Entry Scheme either on Permanent commission (only for men) or Short Service commission (for men and women).

One can join the Technical Branch through Direct Entry Scheme, only after completing engineering.

Both men and women can use this mode of entry to apply to the Indian Air Force. One can join the Technical Branch through University Entry Scheme, when one is still in final or Pre-final year of Engineering.

One is entitled to a stipend during your final year. Those selected for Permanent Commission would receive a Flying Officer's basic pay as stipend, while those selected for Short Service Commission would receive half that amount.

The basic pay of a Flying Officer is Rs. 8250/- per month. The University Entry scheme is open only to men.
