The Indian Air Force has released the Provisional Select List (PSL) for the Agniveer Vayu Intake 02/2026 on 18 May 2026 — for the 2,500 Agniveer Vayu vacancies under the 4-year Agnipath scheme. The PSL is the shortlist of candidates who cleared both Phase-I and Phase-II of the online written examination. This page walks you through the PSL-check flow, what each remaining stage tests, and how to prepare.

How to check the PSL

  1. Open agnipathvayu.cdac.in/AV/psl (the official Agniveer Vayu PSL portal).
  2. Enter your Email ID / Registration Number, your Password, and the Captcha.
  3. Submit — your PSL status opens.
  4. If your application is in the PSL, you are eligible for the PFT + Adaptability Test cycle.
  5. Download the PSL acknowledgement as proof of qualification.

What the PSL means

The PSL is a provisional shortlist of candidates who cleared both written-exam phases and whose applications passed scrutiny. PSL placement guarantees an invitation to the PFT + Adaptability + Medical stages but does not confirm final selection — that depends on PFT clearance, both Adaptability Tests, and the strict IAF medical standards.

What each remaining stage tests

Stage 1: Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

Standard IAF Airmen PFT:

  • 1.6 km run — must be completed within the prescribed time (varies by age band).
  • Push-ups — minimum reps within time limit.
  • Sit-ups — minimum reps within time limit.
  • Squats — minimum reps within time limit.

Cleared candidates proceed to Adaptability Test I; failed candidates are dropped.

Stage 2: Adaptability Test I

Assesses adaptability to IAF lifestyle and discipline — a cognitive and situational-judgment test designed to identify candidates who will thrive in the structured Air Force environment. Question types include problem-solving, decision-making under pressure, and basic leadership scenarios.

Stage 3: Adaptability Test II

A deeper psychological evaluation of adaptability — more in-depth than Test I, with extended scenarios and reflection-based questions. Cleared candidates proceed to the Medical Examination.

Stage 4: Medical Examination

Strict IAF medical standards — vision, hearing, dental, general health, BMI, tattoo policy. Same standards as other Group Y trades (see our IAF Group Y Medical Assistant PSL List 2026 for the detailed medical-prep guide).

Stage 5: Final Merit List

Computed using the formula in the official Agniveer Vayu 02/2026 notification — combines written-exam marks + PFT performance + Adaptability Test scores. Trade allocation follows merit and vacancy availability.

What to prepare in the 4-6 weeks before PFT

The PFT call is typically sent within 4-6 weeks of PSL release. Use this window for:

  1. Daily running — work up to comfortable 2 km in under target time.
  2. Push-up + sit-up + squat practice — aim for 20-30% above the minimum prescribed reps to build margin.
  3. Health checks — pre-emptive dental, vision (especially colour-vision), and BMI checks (see the Medical Assistant article linked above for the detailed checklist).
  4. Hydration + sleep discipline — both significantly affect PFT performance on test day.

What Agniveer Vayu is (Agnipath scheme context)

Agniveer Vayu is the Air Force induction route under the Agnipath scheme — a 4-year fixed-tenure service for Airmen across various technical and non-technical trades. After 4 years, approximately 25% of Agniveers are selected for regular IAF service based on performance; the remaining 75% move on with a financial settlement and a skill-credential certificate. The PSL clearance is the gateway to the 4-year service start.

How many vacancies are in the Indian Airforce Agniveer Vayu 02/2026 recruitment?
The Indian Airforce Agniveer Vayu Intake 02/2026 covers 2,500 vacancies under the 4-year Agnipath scheme. Trade-wise vacancy allocation is detailed in the official notification PDF on agnipathvayu.cdac.in. Final trade allocation depends on merit rank, candidate preference, and trade-wise vacancy availability.
What is the Agniveer Vayu selection process after the PSL?
The selection process has 5 stages after the PSL — Physical Fitness Test (PFT — 1.6 km run, push-ups, sit-ups, squats), Adaptability Test I (cognitive + situational judgment), Adaptability Test II (deeper psychological evaluation), Medical Examination (strict IAF standards), and Final Merit List. Cleared candidates are inducted into the 4-year Agnipath service.
What does the Indian Airforce Agniveer Vayu PFT test?
The PFT tests basic physical fitness through a 1.6 km run (within prescribed time), push-ups, sit-ups, and squats (each with minimum-rep and time limits). Specific rep targets vary by age band; the binding standards are in the official Agniveer Vayu 02/2026 notification PDF. Cleared candidates proceed to Adaptability Test I; failed candidates are dropped from the selection.
What is the Agnipath scheme and the Agniveer Vayu service tenure?
The Agnipath scheme is the unified Armed Forces induction route under which soldiers, sailors, and airmen are recruited as Agniveers for a fixed 4-year service tenure. After 4 years, approximately 25% of Agniveers are selected for regular service based on performance; the remaining 75% exit with a financial settlement (Seva Nidhi corpus) and a skill-credential certificate. The Agniveer Vayu is the Air Force-specific induction path.
How is Agniveer Vayu different from IAF Group Y Medical Assistant?
Agniveer Vayu is the 4-year Agnipath-scheme airman induction (combat and technical trades) with a fixed-tenure model. Group Y Medical Assistant is a specific medical-support trade — earlier inductions were under the long-tenure Airmen Service, though newer cycles follow the Agnipath model. Both follow the IAF medical standards but the trade scope, training pattern, and tenure-end pathway differ — refer to each recruitment notification for specifics.

Indian Airforce Agniveer Vayu 02/2026 PSL List — Analysis & Trends

Resultpedia analysis: physical conditioning is the most-improvable PSL-to-final factor

Across IAF Agniveer Vayu cycles, the largest single-stage attrition after the PSL is at the PFT and Medical Examination, not the Adaptability Tests. The Adaptability Tests have moderate elimination, but they are largely cognitive — limited room for last-minute improvement. The PFT and Medical, by contrast, are dramatically improvable in the 4-6 weeks between PSL release and PFT call. A candidate who runs 4-5 km daily, does targeted push-up / sit-up / squat conditioning, and addresses borderline medical issues (dental, vision, BMI) compounds significantly versus a candidate who treats the PSL as the finish line. The PSL is the easiest stage in the cycle to clear — it's just confirmation you passed the written exam. The hardest stages — PFT, Medical — are still ahead. The 4-6 weeks are the most-leverage prep window in the cycle. Use them like the medical / physical depend on them — because they do.
