How the Merit List Was Prepared
The Merit List for AFCAT 02/2026 is based on the candidate's performance in the written exam (AFCAT). The exam consists of sections: Verbal Ability, Numerical Ability, Reasoning, General Awareness, and Military Aptitude. Each correct answer carries 3 marks, and each wrong answer deducts 1 mark (negative marking). The total marks out of 300 are used to rank candidates.
