ABOUT AFSTET
1. The IAF Education & Cultural Society will conduct a centralised eligibility
test, known as the Air Force Schools’ Teachers Eligibility Test (AFSTET), for
candidates interested in applying for academic vacancies in Air Force Schools.
This will be only a test to determine eligibility for an academic post in an Air
Force School and will not guarantee employment. The procedure will be as
follows:-
(a) A two hour objective-type multiple choice written test will be
conducted on 29 June 2014 to ascertain the working knowledge of the
potential candidates in the fields of English, Teaching Psychology, General
Knowledge and Education. This will be a common test for all categories of
teachers.
(b) Pass marks for the written test will be 60%. The result will be
declared category-wise, as per the choice of the candidates. Those who
apply in more than one category will be listed separately across each
category.
(c) Examination centres will be spread across the country at various Air
Force Stations.
(d) All candidates who have passed the written test will then have to
appear for a practical teaching demo, separately for each category applied
for, at the Air Force School so designated by the Society. Pass marks for
the teaching demo will be 75%.
(e) The Society will compile the result category-wise and intimate all the
candidates by email. Copies of the result will be circulated to all Comds HQ
and Air Force Stations.
(f) Passed candidates will be issued with an Eligibility Card, which will
give details of marks secured and other details of the candidate.
(g) The test will be conducted initially every year for a period of five
years and then every alternate year thereafter.
(h) There will be no merit list as this is only to test eligibility for the post

School so advertises the vacancies.
