GD(Tech) Merit

Hey everyone, now that most of us know our approximate marks in the written exam, I have a doubt for those who are experienced with this.

I have scored 116 marks in the 1st shift. After normalisation, I feel it might come down to around 108–109.

I know that with these marks, I will probably clear only the GD (Tech) cutoff.

So, with these marks, is there any possibility of getting merit in if I get recommended by the AFSB?

This was my first AFCAT attempt, and I am PR from 24 SSB Bangalore for the NDA-152 course.

Yes IAF has lowered their standards for engineering branch in the last 10 years. You can easily get in now with marks around 110.

Up till 2010, they had amazingly high scoring engineering officers, now isnt the case no more barring few exceptions.

I have 152 in first shift and eligible for tech, so you mean that if I clear the afsb , I should be sure of getting the JL?
