Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
Are DAE (Diploma of Associate Engineering) holders eligible to apply or not?
Yes, but only in specific disciplines — Avionics, Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, Instrumentation & Process Control, Telecom, Automation, Computer Information, or Software. DAE in other fields like Civil is not accepted.
Are candidates with less than 65% marks in F.Sc/Matric eligible to apply or not?
No. A minimum of 65% aggregate marks in the qualifying exam is required for most courses; candidates below this threshold are not eligible.
Are students who are still studying (1st year, 2nd year, or F.Sc in progress) eligible to apply or not?
Yes, but only if they’ve scored 70%+ in Part-I and get a certificate from their Principal confirming they’re likely to pass with the required grade.
Is the online application process open, and how can candidates apply?
Candidates can apply online at www.joinpaf.gov.pk or by scanning the QR code on the ad, during the specified registration window.
Are candidates without a Physics background (e.g., ICS students) eligible to apply for GD(P) Pilot or not?
No. GD(P) requires Physics as part of F.Sc/A-Level (or equivalent DAE) – ICS without Physics does not meet this requirement.
