Who Can Apply
Only Ex-Servicemen from the Indian Air Force are eligible for these posts, specifically those who have held the rank of Junior Warrant Officer or higher. The recruitment is fully reserved for Ex-Servicemen candidates, meaning general open-category applicants are not eligible. Age limits vary by category: general candidates can be up to 50 years old as on 1 August 2026, with relaxations to 53 years for OBC non-creamy layer candidates and 55 years for SC/ST candidates. Persons with disabilities will receive age relaxation as per government rules. Applicants should also note the retirement cut-off date from the Air Force is on or before 1 August 2026, with a note to confirm exact details from BEL’s notification.
