Strong focus on support and technical roles
The largest number of vacancies is for Multi-Tasking Staff, followed by Housekeeping Staff, Storekeeper, and LDC.
This indicates a clear requirement for ground-level support and clerical staff to aid in the seamless functioning of various Air Force Stations across India. Posts such as Carpenter, Painter, and Vulcaniser also hint at the need for technical upkeep within military infrastructure.
Importantly, the offline application method mandates that the form be downloaded, duly filled, and posted in an enclosed envelope to the nearest Air Force Station.
This offline mode could be a barrier for some candidates but aligns with traditional IAF recruitment practices.
Eligibility tailored to diverse educational backgrounds
Eligibility varies based on the post. Matriculation is the minimum requirement for most general posts like MTS and Mess Staff, while Intermediate-level qualifications are necessary for clerical roles. Age limits are set between 18 to 25 years, with age relaxations as per government norms.
This recruitment drive is a significant opportunity for young aspirants seeking stable, government-backed employment with a respected defence organisation. Aspirants are advised to read the notification thoroughly and ensure timely submission of their applications before June 15, 2025.
