About the PAF GD Pilot Initial Test Exam
The PAF GD Pilot Initial Test is the first written hurdle for Pakistani male citizens seeking a commission as a General Duty Pilot through PAF Academy Risalpur. Candidates with FSc (Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, or equivalent with physics and mathematics) sit timed intelligence and academic multiple-choice papers assessing verbal logic, non-verbal spatial reasoning, English, FSc physics and mathematics, and general knowledge. Successful candidates advance to initial interview, physical efficiency standards, preliminary medical screening, and ultimately ISSB for officer pilot selection.
Assessment
Computer-based preliminary e-test at PAF selection centres with intelligence and academic sections commonly reported for General Duty Pilot: Intelligence (~100 MCQs mixing verbal and non-verbal reasoning, ~40 minutes) and Academic papers (~50 English MCQs in ~20 minutes, ~25 physics MCQs in ~10 minutes, ~25 mathematics MCQs in ~10 minutes). Candidates who clear preliminary stages proceed to initial interview, physical efficiency tests, medical screening, and ISSB call-up for officer pilot selection and training at PAF Academy Risalpur.
Time Limit
Approximately 80 minutes for all written sections commonly reported (~40 minutes intelligence + ~20 minutes English + ~10 minutes physics + ~10 minutes mathematics). Physical tests, medical checks, and interview are conducted separately on subsequent selection days.
Passing Score
No single published cut-off; intelligence pass marks are commonly reported at roughly 70% while English, physics and mathematics papers are often reported at about 60–70% each. Final selection depends on combined preliminary merit through ISSB, medical fitness (including vision standards), and GHQ merit list.
Exam Fee
PAF does not publish a standard application fee on joinpaf.gov.pk for every GD Pilot cycle. Confirm current instructions and any selection-centre charges on the official portal and your registration slip. (Pakistan Air Force (Air Headquarters — Selection Centres))
