DGCA Computer Number 2026 – Complete Application Guide for CPL & Pilot Training in India

Learn how to apply for DGCA Computer Number through the DGCA Pariksha Portal , avoid rejection, submit correct documents, complete Board Verification Certificate (BVC), and secure your eligibility for Commercial Pilot License (CPL) training in India.

What is the DGCA Computer Number?

The DGCA Computer Number is a permanent aviation candidate identification number issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) through the official Pariksha examination portal.

It is the first official regulatory step in your journey to becoming a Commercial Pilot in India. Without this number, you cannot register for DGCA theory examinations, apply for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL), or progress through any certified pilot training in India.

Think of it as your aviation registration ID — once issued, it stays linked to your profile for life and tracks your entire examination and licensing history.

Important: No DGCA Computer Number = No DGCA exam registration = No CPL training progression.

Mandatory For

DGCA theory exams including Air Navigation, Meteorology, Air Regulations, Technical General & Technical Specific.

Required For Licenses

Private Pilot License (PPL), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Instrument Rating (IR) and Multi-Engine Rating.

Career Tracking

Maintains permanent record of your DGCA exam results and aviation progression.

Global Use

Required during foreign license conversion and airline documentation processes.

In simple terms, the DGCA Computer Number is the digital gateway to pilot training in India. Every aspiring pilot — whether planning CPL training, PPL certification, or airline cadet programs — must secure this number before stepping into the cockpit.

DGCA Pariksha Portal Process

How to Apply for DGCA Computer Number (Step-by-Step)

The DGCA Computer Number application is submitted through the official DGCA Pariksha Portal . Follow this structured process carefully to avoid rejection and delays in your CPL training in India.

Step 01

Register on Pariksha Portal

Create your profile under the Flight Crew category. Select the correct license stream (CPL / PPL). Wrong category selection is a common rejection trigger.

Step 02

Enter Exact Personal Details

Fill your name, date of birth, and parental details exactly as per 10th & 12th certificates. Even minor spelling differences can lead to automatic rejection.

Step 03

Upload Required Documents

Upload scanned copies as per DGCA format:

  • • 10th Certificate (DOB Proof)
  • • 12th Marksheet (Physics & Math mandatory)
  • • Board Verification Certificates
  • • Aadhaar / Passport
  • • Photo & Signature (correct format)
Step 04

Submit Board Verification Certificate

BVC for 10th & 12th is mandatory. Missing or incomplete verification is one of the top reasons for DGCA Computer Number rejection.

Step 05

DGCA Review & Verification

DGCA verifies eligibility, documents, and compliance with CPL training requirements. Average processing time: 14–45 days.

Step 06

Computer Number Generated

Upon approval, your permanent DGCA Computer Number is issued digitally. You can now register for DGCA theory exams and begin your CPL pathway.

Apply Early. Avoid Delays.

Your DGCA Computer Number is the foundation of your Commercial Pilot License in India. File accurately, verify documents early, and stay ahead of exam cycles.

Avoid These Critical Errors

Common DGCA Computer Number Rejection Reasons (2026)

Based on DGCA Pariksha portal guidelines and real student experiences from Quora and Reddit aviation discussions, these are the most frequent causes of DGCA Computer Number rejection.

1. Name & Identity Mismatch

Even a minor spelling difference between Aadhaar, 10th marksheet, passport, and Pariksha application form leads to automatic rejection.

Seen frequently in discussions like: Quora – DGCA Computer Number Rejection

2. Improper Document Attestation

Certificates not signed by a Class-1 Gazetted Officer in proper DGCA format result in immediate rejection.

Students often discuss attestation errors on: Reddit Aviation Threads

3. Incorrect Photo & Signature Format

Wrong DPI, incorrect background, cropped images, blurred scans, or improper signature formatting are very common rejection triggers.

Frequently asked on: Quora – Photo Requirements for DGCA

4. Missing Board Verification Certificate (BVC)

DGCA requires official Board Verification for 10th & 12th. Applications without valid BVC are automatically rejected.

Common confusion seen in: Quora – BVC Mandatory for DGCA?

5. Physics & Mathematics Not Visible

For CPL eligibility in India, Physics and Mathematics must clearly appear in academic records. Missing subjects result in rejection.

Discussed in: Reddit – CPL Eligibility Discussions

6. Wrong Category Selection on Portal

Selecting incorrect Flight Crew category (PPL vs CPL vs ATPL) during Pariksha registration can cause application delay or rejection.

Often mentioned in aviation forums and pilot groups.

Golden Epaulettes Aviation Advice

Treat your DGCA Computer Number application like a pre-flight checklist. Cross-verify every document, confirm spelling consistency, complete Board Verification early, and upload professional-quality scans. Most rejections are preventable with structured preparation.

2026 DigiLocker Integration Update – DGCA Computer Number

In 2026, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) enhanced the Pariksha Computer Number application system by integrating with DigiLocker — India’s national digital document wallet.

This integration allows DGCA to automatically verify your 10th and 12th certificates directly from DigiLocker, eliminating the need for physical scanned files in many cases. If your academic records are stored in DigiLocker and correctly issued/verified by the respective educational board, the Pariksha system can fetch these details instantly.

Key Benefits of DigiLocker Integration

  • Faster automatic verification of board certificates (10th & 12th)
  • Reduced manual upload errors (no low-res scans or wrong file formats)
  • Lower rejection rates due to standardized government-issued documents
  • Less dependency on manual Board Verification Certificates in some boards

Important: DigiLocker integration only works if:

However, mismatches between DigiLocker data and your application form still cause rejections. Common causes include inconsistent names, board names not matching the DGCA database, or missing subject details.

DigiLocker is especially useful for students from CBSE, ICSE, and many State Boards that already issue digitally signed certificates directly to the DigiLocker platform. You can check your academic records here: DigiLocker (Official)

Quick DigiLocker Tips for DGCA Applicants

  • Store both 10th & 12th certificates in DigiLocker before applying
  • Confirm that board-issued certificates show “Issued” status (not just uploaded)
  • Ensure your name, spelling, DOB and board details exactly match across all records
  • If your board doesn’t support DigiLocker, get your Board Verification Certificate (BVC) early

Capt. Awdhesh Tomar

Capt. Awdhesh Tomar

Director & Founder | A320 Commander

When you sit with Capt. Tomar for counselling, it doesn’t feel like a formal session. It feels like talking to someone who has already walked the path you’re trying to understand. He knows how confusing the beginning can be — medicals, DGCA Computer Number, ground classes, flying school choices, budgets — everything feels overwhelming at first. He speaks honestly. If something is risky, he will tell you. If something is unnecessary, he will explain why. There are no big promises or shortcuts — just practical guidance based on real experience in aviation. The focus is simple: help you make the right decision from day one. Because one wrong step in pilot training can cost time and money. Capt. Tomar makes sure you understand the process clearly before you move ahead.

Capt.                                             Deval Soni

Capt. Deval Soni

Director & Founder | A-320 Commander

Counselling with Capt. Deval Soni is deeply personal, because his journey into aviation was never smooth or handed to him easily. He understands the confusion, the financial pressure, the fear of making the wrong decision, and the emotional stress that comes with chasing a cockpit dream. He has lived that uncertainty himself. During counselling, he does not simply explain the process — he shares perspective. From medicals and DGCA Computer Number to ground school strategy, flight training choices, budget planning, and airline preparation, everything is discussed honestly. When you speak to Capt. Deval, you are not talking to a counsellor — you are talking to someone who once sat exactly where you are sitting now.
