AFCAT 2015 Question Paper FAQs
Ques: Does the IAF release an official AFCAT 2015 question paper or answer key?
Ans: No. IAF doesn't officially publish question papers or keys; this is a memory-based reconstruction from candidate recall and coaching archives.
Ques: Was the main AFCAT 2015 paper the same for Flying, Technical, and Non-Technical applicants?
Ans: Yes. The same 100-question paper applied to all branches; only Technical branch applicants additionally sat for the EKT.
Ques: Is it true that AFCAT 2 2015 also had a question leak before the exam?
Ans: Candidate and defence-forum reports say 14 of the 100 questions surfaced online about 25 minutes before the first shift began, and the IAF reportedly ordered a probe. It was covered by defence-focused outlets rather than confirmed in an official IAF statement.
Ques: Was any normalization applied to AFCAT 2015 scores across shifts?
Ans: IAF has used shift-wise normalization in more recent AFCAT cycles; the exact policy applied specifically in 2015 isn't clearly documented in available public records.
Ques: Could a candidate skip the EKT and still be considered for the Technical branch in AFCAT 2015?
Ans: No. EKT was compulsory for anyone opting for the Ground Duty (Technical) branch; skipping it meant that branch preference couldn't be considered, though Flying and Non-Technical options remained unaffected.
Ques: Is the AFCAT 2015 paper still useful for practising today's exam?
Ans: Yes for syllabus-level revision and question style, but its offline format and shift structure don't match today's CBT exam, so pair it with a recent full-length online mock closer to your exam date.
