AFCAT Answer Key — How to Check

Indian Air Force publishes a provisional AFCAT answer key on afcat.cdac.in so candidates can audit the evaluation and object before it becomes final. This page explains the key, the objection route and how the final key drives the result.

How it works

Step-by-step

  1. Download the provisional answer key from afcat.cdac.in when Indian Air Force publishes it.
  2. Match your recorded responses against the key to estimate your score.
  3. Note questions you believe are wrongly keyed and collect standard references.
  4. Submit objections through the notified channel within the objection window.
  5. Check the final answer key once objections are disposed — the result follows it.

How the AFCAT answer key process works

The provisional key exists for transparency: it lets candidates audit the evaluation before it becomes final. Indian Air Force publishes it on afcat.cdac.in with a defined objection window.

Raising an effective objection

Challenge only questions where you can cite a standard reference (official syllabus source, standard textbook) — opinion-based objections are dismissed.

File within the window and keep the acknowledgement; late representations are not considered regardless of merit, and a per-question fee usually applies.

Final key and evaluation

The final key incorporates accepted objections; the result is computed only from this corrected key, and no further objections are entertained after it is published.
