How to Apply for Agniveer Vayu Recruitment?
To apply for the Indian Air Force Agniveer Vayu vacancies, candidates must visit the official CASB portal during the designated application period. The process begins with online registration, where applicants need to create an account using a valid email ID and mobile number, which will serve as the primary contact points for all future communications. It is mandatory for all candidates to provide their AADHAAR number; however, those hailing from Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, Meghalaya, and Ladakh are exempted from this requirement and may use alternate acceptable ID proofs.
Once registered, candidates should log in to access and meticulously complete the detailed application form. This involves accurately providing personal and educational information, ensuring that all details precisely match those on official documents. Following this, applicants are required to upload a series of essential documents. These include their Class 10th/Matriculation Certificate, Intermediate/10+2 Marksheet or equivalent certificates, and relevant marksheets for Diploma/Vocational Courses if applicable. Additionally, candidates must upload a recent passport-size photograph, taken while holding a black slate displaying their name and the date of the photograph. Images of their left-hand thumb impression and signature are also necessary. For candidates who are under 18 years of age at the time of application, an image of their parent or guardian’s signature must also be uploaded.
The next crucial step is the payment of the examination fee, which stands at ₹550/- plus Goods and Services Tax (GST). This payment can be conveniently made using various online methods, including Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, or UPI. Candidates are strongly advised to save all transaction details for future reference. After successfully completing the payment, it is imperative to thoroughly review the entire application form one final time to confirm the accuracy of all submitted details and the proper upload of all documents. Once satisfied, the application form can be submitted, and the system will generate an acknowledgement receipt, which should be downloaded and securely saved for future use.
Candidates are highly recommended to complete their application process well in advance of the stipulated deadline. This precaution is vital to circumvent any potential last-minute technical difficulties that can arise due to high website traffic. Furthermore, it is paramount to ensure that all uploaded documents strictly adhere to the specified requirements regarding size and format, as any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the application may unfortunately lead to disqualification. Applicants should also make it a regular practice to check the official CASB portal for the latest updates, notifications, and any further instructions related to the recruitment process.
