AFCAT AE Syllabus

I will appear in AFCAT Exam that is held in next month. I have topics of syllabus of Aeronautical Engineering (AE), but I want detailed syllabus of AE subject with previous years question papers. So where from I will get detailed syllabus and question papers of AFCAT Exam? Is there any official website of AFCAT Exam?

Hii sir, I Wants to get the Syllabus of the AE (Electronics ) of the AFCAT EKT Test Will you Please Provide It ?
