Air Force 2025 Top 50 Rankers: Names, Attempts, and Coaching Details

Hello, Aspirants!

The Indian Air Force's 2025 rank list for courses commencing in June 2026 features candidates ranked across the AFCAT Men category. The list provides a starting point for understanding the candidates who reached the merit stage, while additional public sources offer information about selected candidates' educational backgrounds and achievements in other defence examinations.

In this article, I will explore the Air Force 2025 Top 50 Rankers, including their names, available attempts information, and coaching details. Individual profiles highlight publicly documented achievements and institutional affiliations wherever reliable information is available.

The ranking I used here follows the AFCAT 2 2025 merit list for the June 2026 course, and it covers the AFCAT Men category.

Air Force 2025 Top 50 Rankers: Individual Profiles

For the profiles below, I combined the available merit-list information with additional public records where a candidate could be linked to a relevant source. Attempts, coaching history, and preparation timelines are not assumed when reliable public confirmation is unavailable.

Rank 1–10

Rank 1: Alok Singh

  • Merit rank: 1

  • Other examination record: Also reported in connection with CDS 2 2025 and an Air Force Academy recommendation.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Alok Singh leads the AFCAT Men merit list used for this article. His reported appearance in another defence examination provides additional context, but his preparation history and coaching affiliation remain unconfirmed.

Rank 2: Sukhraj Singh Heera

  • Merit rank: 2

  • Institutional affiliation: Reported as a cadet associated with the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Armed Forces Preparatory Institute (MRSAFPI), Mohali.

  • Other achievement: Also reported in connection with CDS 2 2025.

  • Attempts: Not publicly reported.

Heera's reported MRSAFPI affiliation provides a documented lead into his preparation background. However, an institutional affiliation should not be confused with a confirmed history of commercial coaching or a known number of examination attempts.

Rank 3: Atharva Nene

  • Merit rank: 3

  • Education: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at COEP Technological University, according to an institutional announcement.

  • Other achievement: The announcement also reported his selection for the Indian Navy's pilot branch through the SSC Tech entry.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Nene's profile stands out because of the publicly reported academic background and achievement in another defence selection process. His education and selection record do not establish which coaching programme, if any, he used.

Rank 4: Niraj Bisen

  • Merit rank: 4

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Niraj Bisen appears fourth in the AFCAT Men list used for this article. No sufficiently verified personal interview or institutional record has been established here to describe his preparation method or coaching history.

Rank 5: Avnoor Singh Sohi

  • Merit rank: 5

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Avnoor Singh Sohi is among the first five candidates in the published ranking. Further details about his educational background, previous attempts, and preparation provider require reliable public documentation.

Rank 6: Jasnoor Singh

  • Merit rank: 6

  • Institutional affiliation: Reported as a cadet associated with MRSAFPI Mohali.

  • Other achievement: Also reported in connection with CDS II 2025, including an Air Force Academy merit result.

  • Attempts: Not publicly reported.

Jasnoor Singh's reported preparatory-institute affiliation and other defence examination result offer useful context beyond his AFCAT position. The available information does not establish his complete attempt history.

Rank 7: K B Sreehari Nampoothiri

  • Merit rank: 7

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

K B Sreehari Nampoothiri holds the seventh position in the list. No verified information available for this profile establishes a specific coaching institute or number of previous attempts.

Rank 8: Abhishek Pandey

  • Merit rank: 8

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Abhishek Pandey appears among the top ten rankers. His position is supported by the ranking used for this article, while details about his personal preparation journey remain unconfirmed.

Rank 9: Rudraksha Rajendra Dixit

  • Merit rank: 9

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Rudraksha Rajendra Dixit occupies the ninth position. Additional details about his academic history, preparation resources, and earlier examination attempts should only be included if reliable sources become available.

Rank 10: Sunil Chopra

  • Merit rank: 10

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Sunil Chopra completes the top ten in this category. The available information establishes his position in the list but does not confirm his coaching affiliation or examination history.

Rank 11–20

Rank 11: Loura Mohit Satpal

  • Merit rank: 11

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Loura Mohit Satpal appears at Rank 11. His preparation background and number of attempts cannot be established from the merit position alone.

Rank 12: Shreyas Sudip Mitra

  • Merit rank: 12

  • Other examination record: Also reported in connection with CDS II 2025.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Shreyas Sudip Mitra's reported appearance in another defence examination adds context to his profile. Any specific marks or academy recommendation should be attributed to the relevant examination record rather than assumed from his AFCAT rank.

Rank 13: Ritesh Ranjan

  • Merit rank: 13

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in the Indian Air Force selection-list material reviewed for this research.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Ritesh Ranjan's appearance in a separate selection-list record is relevant, but the merit list and selection list serve different purposes. His previous attempts and coaching history remain unconfirmed.

Rank 14: Kunal Sharma

  • Merit rank: 14

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Kunal Sharma holds Rank 14. No verified evidence is available for this profile establishes the coaching institute he attended or whether this was his first AFCAT attempt.

Rank 15: Sanket Annachatre

  • Merit rank: 15

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Sanket Annachatre is listed at Rank 15. Further personal details should not be inferred from his ranking alone.

Rank 16: Hridhay Bali

  • Merit rank: 16

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Hridhay Bali appears in the sixteenth position. The available information does not establish a verified preparation timeline or coaching affiliation.

Rank 17: Charchit Bhardwaj

  • Merit rank: 17

  • Additional performance information: A compiled record reports an AFCAT score of 207 and branch preferences involving Administration, AE(L), and Logistics.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

The reported score and branch preferences offer more detail than the ranking alone, although they should be treated as information from the compilation rather than a verified personal interview. His coaching history remains unknown.

Rank 18: Chandan Biswal

  • Merit rank: 18

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Chandan Biswal holds Rank 18. No reliable personal account has been established here to confirm his preparation strategy or previous attempts.

Rank 19: Reshvanth M Bagewadi

  • Merit rank: 19

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Reshvanth M Bagewadi appears at Rank 19. His individual preparation background and coaching affiliation remain unverified.

Rank 20: Akash Singh Bhaugor

  • Merit rank: 20

  • Additional performance information: A compiled record reports an AFCAT score of 200.9 and branch preferences involving Meteorology, Logistics, and Administration.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

The reported score and preferences provide additional context about Bhaugor's examination record. They do not, however, establish the number of attempts he made or the coaching resources he used.

Rank 21–30

Rank 21: Donthulapally Roopesh Reddy

  • Merit rank: 21

  • Education: A reported academic record links him to Anurag University and a B.Tech programme in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for 2022–2026.

  • Additional record: His roll number was also reported in the selection-list material reviewed, which included an NCC Air Wing C certificate entry.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Reddy's reported education and selection-list details provide a more specific profile than the merit list alone. The available information does not establish his coaching affiliation or complete attempt history.

Rank 22: Amol Sharma

  • Merit rank: 22

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Amol Sharma holds Rank 22. No verified information available for this profile establishes a coaching provider or number of previous attempts.

Rank 23: Hanuman

  • Merit rank: 23

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Hanuman appears at Rank 23. As the available name is not accompanied here by independently verified biographical information, additional personal details cannot be reliably attributed to this candidate.

Rank 24: Ashish

  • Merit rank: 24

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Ashish holds Rank 24. Because the name alone does not establish a unique identity, further details require a reliable matching record before they can be included.

Rank 25: Krishna Mohan Sharma

  • Merit rank: 25

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Krishna Mohan Sharma appears in the twenty-fifth position. No confirmed information has been established here about his previous attempts or coaching background.

Rank 26: Akshit Dhama

  • Merit rank: 26

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Akshit Dhama is listed at Rank 26. His academic background, preparation timeline, and coaching affiliation remain unconfirmed.

Rank 27: Nikhil Yadav

  • Merit rank: 27

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in selection-list material for the Administration branch.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Nikhil Yadav's reported appearance in a separate selection list provides additional context. It should be distinguished from his position in the merit ranking, and it does not reveal his previous attempts or coaching history.

Rank 28: Vishal Sharma

  • Merit rank: 28

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Vishal Sharma holds Rank 28. No verified source established here confirms his preparation provider or previous AFCAT attempts.

Rank 29: Ashwani Pawar

  • Merit rank: 29

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Ashwani Pawar appears at Rank 29. Further information about his education or preparation should be added only when a reliable source can be matched to the candidate.

Rank 30: Hargun Singh Aneja

  • Merit rank: 30

  • Other examination record: Also reported at Rank 141 in the AFCAT I 2025 merit list.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Hargun Singh Aneja's reported appearance in two AFCAT merit lists is a notable part of his available examination history. It does not independently establish the total number of attempts he has made across all examinations.

Rank 31–40

Rank 31: Sushil Vijay Patil

  • Merit rank: 31

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Sushil Vijay Patil appears at Rank 31. His previous attempts and coaching affiliation remain unverified.

Rank 32: Sourav Kumar

  • Merit rank: 32

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Sourav Kumar holds Rank 32. No reliable personal record has been established here to describe his preparation history.

Rank 33: Ashish Gurjar

  • Merit rank: 33

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Ashish Gurjar appears at Rank 33. His merit-list position is available, but further details about his education and coaching require additional verification.

Rank 34: Himanshu Sharma

  • Merit rank: 34

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in the selection-list material reviewed.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

The separate selection-list reference adds context to Himanshu Sharma's profile. It does not establish his number of attempts or identify a coaching institute.

Rank 35: Kalamkar Ajinkya Sharad

  • Merit rank: 35

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in the selection-list material reviewed.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Kalamkar Ajinkya Sharad's reported selection-list record is a separate data point from his merit position. His preparation background remains unconfirmed.

Rank 36: Anmol Mathur

  • Merit rank: 36

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Anmol Mathur appears at Rank 36. No confirmed information available for this profile establishes his coaching affiliation or previous attempts.

Rank 37: Mayank Negi

  • Merit rank: 37

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Mayank Negi holds Rank 37. His educational background and preparation journey require additional public evidence before they can be described.

Rank 38: Prakhar Chouhan

  • Merit rank: 38

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Prakhar Chouhan appears at Rank 38. No verified personal account has been established here to confirm his coaching history.

Rank 39: Asheesh Chandel

  • Merit rank: 39

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Asheesh Chandel holds Rank 39. His examination history beyond the listed position remains unconfirmed.

Rank 40: Lok Narayan Shrivastava

  • Merit rank: 40

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Lok Narayan Shrivastava appears at Rank 40. Further details about his academic background, coaching, and previous attempts would require reliable public documentation.

Rank 41–50

Rank 41: Saurabh Geat

  • Merit rank: 41

  • Other examination record: Reported in connection with CDS I 2025 and an Air Force Academy recommendation.

  • Additional marks information: A compiled record reports a written score of 178 out of 300.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Saurabh Geat's reported CDS record provides another point of reference in his defence examination history. The written score and academy recommendation should be attributed to the relevant CDS record, not treated as AFCAT marks.

Rank 42: Aman Kumar

  • Merit rank: 42

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Aman Kumar holds Rank 42. The available information does not establish a verified coaching affiliation or number of previous attempts.

Rank 43: Abhay Thakur

  • Merit rank: 43

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in the selection-list material for the Flying Branch.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

The reported Flying Branch selection-list entry adds relevant context beyond Abhay Thakur's merit position. His attempt history and preparation provider remain unconfirmed.

Rank 44: Suyash Pratap Singh Negi

  • Merit rank: 44

  • Other examination record: Appears in a CDS marks record associated with the Indian Military Academy recommendation category.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Negi's reported CDS record should not be presented as proof of an Air Force Academy recommendation. The distinction matters because the two academy routes are separate.

Rank 45: Rishil Gupte

  • Merit rank: 45

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Rishil Gupte appears at Rank 45. No verified information available for this profile establishes his educational background or coaching affiliation.

Rank 46: Virendra Lal

  • Merit rank: 46

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Virendra Lal holds Rank 46. His preparation history and previous examination attempts remain unconfirmed.

Rank 47: Suryawanshi Ajay Tanaji

  • Merit rank: 47

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Suryawanshi Ajay Tanaji appears at Rank 47. Further personal details should be included only if reliable public sources can be matched to this candidate.

Rank 48: Ronit Vashist

  • Merit rank: 48

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Ronit Vashist holds Rank 48. The available information establishes his position but does not confirm his coaching background or earlier attempts.

Rank 49: Vikash Singh

  • Merit rank: 49

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Vikash Singh appears at Rank 49. As no verified personal preparation record has been established here, additional details cannot be stated as fact.

Rank 50: Sambit Bhattacharya

  • Merit rank: 50

  • Selection-list record: His roll number was reported in the selection-list material reviewed.

  • Attempts and coaching: Not publicly reported.

Sambit Bhattacharya completes the Top 50 list. The separate selection-list reference adds context to his profile, but it does not establish how many attempts he made or whether he attended a particular coaching programme.

What We Found From the Air Force 2025 Top 50 Data

1. The list covers one specific entry category

The 50 names in this article belong to the AFCAT Men category of the AFCAT 2 2025 merit list for the June 2026 course. The list should not be interpreted as a combined ranking across all Indian Air Force entry routes.

2. Some candidates have publicly reported achievements beyond AFCAT

Atharva Nene's institutional announcement, the reported MRSAFPI affiliations of Sukhraj Singh Heera and Jasnoor Singh, and the additional examination records associated with candidates such as Hargun Singh Aneja and Saurabh Geat provide useful context.

These records illustrate why individual profiles can be more informative than a name-only ranking. However, achievements from separate examinations must remain clearly attributed to their respective sources.

3. Coaching affiliations cannot be assumed from merit positions

The available information does not establish a coaching institute for most candidates. A candidate's appearance in a merit list, or in a coaching institute's published material, does not automatically prove enrolment in a specific classroom course, online programme, or test series.

Where an affiliation has been reported, such as MRSAFPI Mohali, it should be described accurately as an institutional or preparatory affiliation rather than automatically labelled commercial coaching.

4. Attempts information remains limited

The number of attempts made by an individual candidate cannot be reliably inferred from a single merit-list appearance. Even when a candidate appears in more than one examination cycle, that information does not necessarily reveal their complete examination history.

For this reason, the article uses Not publicly reported where an attempt count could not be established.

5. Merit-list inclusion and final selection are different

The Indian Air Force publishes merit information and selection-list information for different purposes. Final selection can depend on factors such as vacancies, eligibility, medical fitness, branch preferences, and document verification. A merit position alone should not be presented as proof that a candidate has joined or will join the Indian Air Force.

FAQs

Q1. Who secured Rank 1 in the Air Force 2025 Top 50 Rankers list?

Alok Singh secured Rank 1 in the AFCAT Men merit list used for this article, covering AFCAT 2 2025 for the June 2026 course.

Q2. Is this the official Top 50 ranking across all Indian Air Force entries?

No. The list covers the AFCAT Men category of the specified merit list. It should not be described as a combined ranking of every Indian Air Force entry category.

Q3. How many attempts did the Top 50 rankers make?

The available sources do not establish the complete attempt history of most candidates. Attempt counts should only be published when supported by reliable, candidate-specific evidence.

Q4. Which coaching institutes did the rankers attend?

Most individual coaching affiliations are not publicly confirmed in the information reviewed for this article. Sukhraj Singh Heera and Jasnoor Singh have reported associations with MRSAFPI Mohali, an armed forces preparatory institute. This should not be treated as proof of attendance at a separate commercial coaching programme.

Q5. Does appearing in the merit list guarantee final selection?

No. Merit-list inclusion and final selection are distinct. Final selection is subject to the applicable requirements, which can include medical fitness, eligibility, vacancies, branch preferences, and document verification.

Q6. Why are some individual profiles shorter than others?

The amount of publicly verifiable information differs by candidate. Where an educational record, institutional affiliation, or other examination result could be linked to a relevant source, it has been included. Unsupported personal details have been left out rather than guessed.

Methodology and Sources

The candidate names and ranking positions in this article follow the AFCAT 2 2025 merit list for the June 2026 course, specifically the AFCAT Men category. Additional profile details were drawn from publicly reported institutional announcements, examination records, and selection-list material where available.

The research used the following source types:

  • Indian Air Force: Official AFCAT notifications and the relevant merit-list and selection-list documents.

  • Institutional announcements: Public information from COEP Technological University concerning Atharva Nene.

  • Preparatory institute and news reports: Public reporting concerning the MRSAFPI Mohali affiliations of Sukhraj Singh Heera and Jasnoor Singh.

  • Other examination records: Relevant AFCAT and CDS records used to provide additional context for selected candidates.

A candidate's appearance in an examination record was not treated as proof of a coaching affiliation. Likewise, a separate selection-list entry was not used to infer an unreported attempt count or preparation timeline.

Where an individual's attempts, coaching details, or educational background could not be established reliably, the article uses Not publicly confirmed. This does not mean the information does not exist; it means it could not be confirmed from the sources available for this research.

The merit list and final selection list were treated as separate records. Claims concerning academy recommendations, branch selection, or final selection should be understood in the context of the relevant examination and document.
