Why This Batch Matters
Agniveer Vayu batches are numbered by the year the recruits are expected to join service, not the year you apply — that’s why this is called “02/2027” even though applications run through July 2026. Selected candidates serve a 4-year tenure under the Agnipath scheme, with a monthly package that rises each year and a lump-sum Seva Nidhi payout at the end of the term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choose Science without Maths (STNM); you need 50% aggregate marks in your 12th to be eligible, and a relevant 3-year engineering diploma is also accepted as an alternative to the PCB combination.
IAF names each Agniveer Vayu batch after the year its recruits are due to join service, not the year of application — since training and enrolment for this batch fall in 2027, it's numbered Intake 02/2027 even though the form is open now.
No extra relaxation is given for this — the rule is stricter than most exams: your age on the actual date of enrolment (after clearing every phase) must still be 22 or under, so check your timeline carefully before applying if you're near the upper limit.
Yes, both routes fall under the same STNM stream and are evaluated together in Phase 1 on the stream's syllabus — there's no separate quota for diploma holders within STNM.
