Hello Aditya,

To begin with, it must be noted that educational qualifications required are different for different branches of AFCAT.

Mainly there are 3 branches for AFCAT:

1. Flying Branch
2. Ground Duty (Technical): Aeronautical Engineer (Electronics) & Aeronautical Engineer (Mechanical).
3. Ground Duty (Non-Technical): Administration and logistics & Logistics.

In Ground Duty(Non-Technical) branch, 12th score is NOT required. Whereas, in rest of the branches, 12th score is required with a minimum of 60% each in Physics and Mathematics.

So, the student who didn't appear for 12th examination, is eligible for AFCAT, only in Ground Duty (Non-Technical) branch.
