AFCAT (2) Expected Cutoff 2023: The Indian Air Force (IAF) will release the AFCAT 2 Cutoff 2023 along with the result, most likely in September 2023. While awaiting the official release, applicants can refer to AFCAT (2) expected cutoff 2023 provided here to predict their chances of qualifying the examination. This expected cutoff has been computed by analyzing the cutoffs for the past five years from 2022 to 2018. It is also to be noted that the cutoff score can fluctuate from year to year, and hence, the influencing factors for the same have also been outlined.

Considering that AFCAT (1) cutoff 2023 was 155 marks, it's reasonable to speculate that AFCAT (2) cutoff 2023 might also be 155 marks or even higher. Based on the analysis of previous years, expected AFCAT (2) cutoff could fall within the range of 155 to 160 marks. However, observing the easy to moderate difficulty levels of this year's papers, it is also likely to increase to a range of 165 to 180 marks.

Factors Determining AFCAT (2) Cutoff

The AFCAT (2) cutoff is influenced by the following factors:

  • Total Vacancies in Participating Colleges: When there are more available seats in participating colleges, the cutoff tends to be lower than usual.

  • Total Number of Candidates: A higher number of candidates taking the exam leads to increased competition, which in turn raises the cutoff.

  • Maximum and Minimum Marks Achieved: The overall performance of candidates, particularly the highest and lowest scores, can also impact the cutoff.

  • Difficulty Level of the Examination: If the exam is notably challenging, the cutoff is likely to decrease as fewer candidates achieve higher scores.

  • Normalization of Marks: Since the AFCAT (2) examination is conducted in six shifts over three days, normalization of marks is applied to ensure that the cutoff remains consistent across all six shifts.
