Although it consists mostly of pilots, by virtue of their engineering degree, any candidate can apply for the respective positions of either pilot or navigator in the Air Force. However, the physical requirements and selection process are more stringent in this branch.2. *Technical Branch*: This comprises Aeronautical Engineering (Mechanical) and Aeronautical Engineering (Electrical). Civil Engineering graduates may stand eligible under this category if they are certain subject-specific background graduates. In these roles, effective application of engineering principles is necessary since most of the responsibilities particularly concern maintenance, design, and development of aircraft as well as avionics systems.3. *Ground Duty Branch*: The Ground Duty Branch includes roles as varied as Administration, Logistics, Accounts, as well as Education, for which engineering graduates may be found appropriate in those areas for positions requiring management as well as coordination.However, for detailed understanding of eligibility and specific branches for the qualification you own, it is advisable to go through the official AFPAT notification.
