IITians aspire to join Indian Air Force


Bangalore, February 3: Over 100 IIT graduates have aspired to join the Indian Air Force even as IAF recruited over 8,000 airmen and officers in the current year, Chief of Air staff Air Chief Marshal S. Krishnaswamy said on Tuesday.

“We had an intake of over 8,000 airmen and officers this year, up from 3,000 last year,” he said to the reporters after inaugurating the international seminar on flight testing and flight test training, at the IAF’s aircraft systems and training establishment here.
IAF, he said, was attracting people with quality and there was no requirement for Short Service Commission (SSC) officers.

“Earlier we used to reemploy retired officers as SSC, now we feel there is no need to reemploy retired personnel and no SSCS, other than women,” Krishnaswamy said.
