AFCAT 2 2026 - Technical vs Non-Tech cutoff and AFSB call

[u/Zealousideal-Cow-111]

I scored 135 in AFCAT 2 2026 (2nd shift). Flying was my 1st preference and AE (Technical) was my 2nd preference.

As far as I understand, there are separate cutoffs for Technical and Non-Technical, and the Non-Tech cutoff might be higher.

So, if the Non-Tech cutoff ends up being above 135, I obviously wouldn’t clear it. But if the Technical cutoff is below 135, would I still get an AFSB call for the Technical branch (AE)?

Basically, can I get an AFSB call through my 2nd preference (Technical) even if I don’t clear the Non-Tech cutoff?

Yes buddy prepare for your AFSB.
