IAF Medical Assistant (Group Y) exam is a Computer-Based Test (CBT) featuring 50 objective-type questions carrying 1 mark each. Candidates get 45 minutes to complete the paper. A negative marking scheme applies, with 0.25 marks deducted for every incorrect answer, while unattempted questions receive zero. Broad sections typically include:

• English: Grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and sentence correction

• Reasoning and General Awareness: Analogies, coding-decoding, current affairs, and basic reasoning

• Medical Syllabus: Questions specific to the Medical Assistant trade assess knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and basic pharmaceutical sciences for candidates holding a pharmacy degree/diploma.

Preparing across all sections evenly, rather than focusing only on science topics, tends to improve overall scores, since English carries a mandatory minimum qualifying requirement.
