AFCAT Type of Commission 2025

 The AFCAT 2025 exam offers two types of commissions: Permanent Commission (PC) for Men and Short Service Commission (SSC) for Men and women. The main difference between the two is the tenure of service.

• Permanent Commission (PC): This offers a long-term career in the Indian Air Force until the officer retires, usually around the age of 60, depending on their physical and mental fitness. It provides job security and the opportunity to advance through the ranks throughout the career.
• Short Service Commission (SSC): This offers a shorter tenure of service, typically around 14 years, extendable up to 20 years. SSC officers are initially engaged for a shorter period, providing them with the advantage of a better balance between their military career and personal life. After the completion of their tenure, SSC officers have the choice to either opt for a Permanent Commission or transition to civilian life.

 These commissions cater to individuals with different career aspirations and provide distinct opportunities and responsibilities.
