1. Introduction

Reaching the Phase-II stage of the Indian Air Force Agniveer Vayu selection is not a small milestone. For many candidates, this phase carries more pressure than the written exam because it involves physical presence, strict verification, and no margin for casual mistakes.

If you are feeling anxious right now, that is normal. The purpose of this article is to help you move from uncertainty to clarity, so you know exactly what to do next and what not to do.

5. What to Check on the Admit Card (Very Important)

Before you think about preparation, verify these details carefully:

  • Candidate’s name (spelling must match ID proof)
  • Photograph and signature visibility
  • Roll number and registration number
  • Phase-II exam date, reporting time, and venue
  • Instructions section on the admit card

If You Find an Error

If any detail is incorrect or unclear, contact the official Indian Air Force helpdesk immediately through the official portal. Correction deadline is not mentioned in the official notice, so do not delay.

6. Documents to Carry on Exam Day

Based strictly on official instructions:

Mandatory

  • Printed admit card (black & white or colour)
  • Valid original photo ID (Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, etc.)

Often Overlooked

  • Clear photograph on ID (damaged or faded IDs can create problems)
  • Admit card printout with readable barcode/details

Do not assume anything beyond what is written on the admit card instructions.

7. Exam Day Instructions - Explained Simply

  • Reporting Time: Follow it strictly. Late entry is usually not allowed under defence recruitment protocols.
  • Electronic Items: Mobile phones, smartwatches, earphones, or any electronic gadgets are prohibited.
  • Dress Code: Specific dress code is not mentioned in the official notice, but candidates should wear simple, comfortable clothing suitable for physical assessment stages.

If any COVID-related or special instructions apply, they will be clearly mentioned on the admit card itself.

8. Common Mistakes Candidates Make

These mistakes have caused genuine problems for candidates in past cycles:

  • Printing the admit card at the last minute
  • Ignoring the reporting time thinking it is flexible
  • Carrying restricted items to the centre
  • Not checking the exam centre location in advance
  • Panicking over minor issues instead of contacting authorities calmly

Avoid these, and half the battle is already won.

9. What to Do Next: Preparation + Mindset

At this stage:

  • Re-read the Phase-II process and requirements from the official notification.
  • Focus on physical readiness, documentation, and mental composure.
  • Avoid over-consuming rumours, YouTube speculation, or unofficial Telegram claims.
  • Sleep well, eat normally, and stick to what you already know.

Confidence in defence exams comes from discipline, not last-minute cramming.

10. Conclusion

You have cleared Phase-I and reached Phase-II because you earned it. The admit card is simply a gate pass-what matters now is calm execution. Stay alert, follow instructions exactly as written, and avoid unnecessary stress. Preparation with clarity always outperforms preparation with panic.
