For Women: 10 Sit-ups in 1 minute and 30 seconds. 15 Squats in 1 minute.   Step 3: Medical Check-up (Phase-III) The Air Force medical team will check your body to see if you are healthy.

Scans: They will take an X-ray of your chest, and for women, an ultrasound (USG).   Second Chance and Final Results Medical Appeal: If the doctors say you are "unfit" (not healthy enough), you can ask for a second opinion. This costs ₹40.  Final Selection: Being chosen for the job depends on these four things:  Your Rank: Your score compared to others in your state. Health: Passing all medical checks. Open Spots: If there are enough jobs (vacancies) available. Rules: Making sure you follow all the application requirements.
