Frequently Asked Questions

Phase 1: Account Details ▾

How do I verify my account using Email OTP and SMS OTP?

PNATS requires two-factor verification during registration: Enter the Email OTP sent to your registered email address and the SMS OTP sent to your registered mobile number. Both must be verified before your account becomes VERIFIED.

Why am I locked out or throttled when entering OTP?

To protect your account and prevent brute-force attacks, PNATS enforces attempt limits per OTP (wrong entries count against your attempts), resend cooldown timers, and rate limiting per IP/email/mobile number. Temporary lockouts occur after repeated failures; you must wait until the lockout time expires to try again.

Phase 4: AFPSAT Verification ▾

What is AFPSAT and what is an IRF?

AFPSAT is the qualifying examination, and the IRF (Individual Record Form) is the official proof of your AFPSAT result.

Do I still need to submit the original IRF?

Yes, the uploaded scan is for verification, but you may still be required to submit the original IRF as instructed by the recruitment office.

Phase 5: Review and Submit ▾

What happens after I submit?

Your application is queued for the next recruitment steps, and you may receive instructions for scheduling (SWE/NP).

Why is Submit disabled?

It is disabled if attestations are unchecked, the typed confirmation is missing/incorrect, your status is not AFPSAT-VERIFIED, or final gate revalidation detects missing evidence.
