Since the AFCAT exam turned online from offline mode, after every AFCAT result many candidates report dissatisfaction with the AFCAT marks that they have scored. Some candidates report an error with the online test portal of CDAC and say glitches in it causes the error with their result as they were expecting more marks. After AFCAT 2 2020 result was declared, many candidates are reaching us and asking how they can get their AFCAT exam rechecked as they are not satisfied with their marks. Here are a few things we need to know first:
- Since AFCAT went online, the whole testing process is taken care by CDAC also known as Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. CDAC conducts many other competitive exams too. CDAC conducts AFCAT online exam on behalf of the Indian Air Force. Earlier, when the AFCAT was an offline exam (OMR based), IAF used to conduct it by themselves after managing tons of other exam related things, now they have handed over the testing process to CDAC.
- Even the registration portal for AFCAT i.e. AFCAT CDAC website is handled by CDAC only. So, the whole process from AFCAT registration till conducting the AFCAT online exam is the responsibility of CDAC, IAF does look into this whole process that is handled by the CDAC and they also have AFCAT C-DAC Cell.

I was sure of getting somewere around 200 and I attempted 77 questions and anyhow atleast 180+ was my idea.I cleared this exam before without much preparation. Since there was lockdown and all preparation was done to the full extent.I had also done a lot of mock test from testbook and gradeup and always the marks were greater than 170 it reached 199 but this this time I hadn’t even cleared the cutoff.I had exam on OCTOBER 3rd 2nd shift.Trust me there was some mistake in evaluation for exam held on OCTOBER 3rd.
Hey Jaysankar I am in the same position, i’ve attempted AFCAT 2 2023 and i was expection around 150-160 but actually i scored 130 with normalization and 118 originally. So did you file RTI and if yes then did you get your desired result or any modification in your result?
I was expecting 190+ but my score is low. I don’t where I had made mistake. I am dissatisfied with results. I think there is some fraud or they are very careless about students future
Same here, October 3 second shift, expected 197 got 154, questions attempted 76
I had attempted 64 questions out of which only 1 question was wrong and l did not took any risk of doing guess work because it was my second attempt and l prepared well this time still my score is 132 and l expected 180+

Hi, although I’m satisfied with my result, but one of my close friends gave the exam on 5th October, said he only attempted 60 questions, but got 206, he himself was shocked with his results. There is some glitch for sure.
Yes there is something wrong because most of the students got similar marks .
Hi this was my last attempt and have attempted 74 and i was expecting 180+ but my score was 105, i have even checked with discussion session and i was sure about this attempt but looking at the results I’m sure there should be some technical glitch or some issues with the AFCAT CELL and the same has been mailed to afcatcell@cdac.in and afcatcell@gmail.com. As this was my last attempt i request to help me out with any possible ways to get justice.
I am also not satisfied
I have attempted 82 questions ,hardly there were 7-8 questions wrong..I was expecting 205+ score but even didn’t clear cut off only get 144 marks …in last 3 attempting i was getting 200+ marks ..but this time it was shocking …
I am a student of IIT Bombay and a GATE topper. I got 7 marks in my EKT ( Mech ) ( 2nd shift , 3rd October ). Previously I have got around 90 marks in EKT and this time I was expecting 100+ marks. Definitely a technical glitch.
