Complete Step-by-Step Guide for Pilot Examinations in India
Official Application Portal: DGCA Pariksha Portal
If you’re planning to become a pilot in India in 2026, your journey officially begins with obtaining a DGCA Computer Number.
Issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) through its Pariksha portal, this number is mandatory for appearing in DGCA pilot examinations and applying for your Commercial Pilot License (CPL).
The DGCA Computer Number is a unique lifetime identification number issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India, through the Pariksha portal. It is the first mandatory step for anyone pursuing pilot training in India in 2026.
Think of the DGCA Computer Number as your aviation registration identity. Once issued, it remains permanently linked to your pilot examination records, Commercial Pilot License (CPL) progression, type ratings, and license conversions.
Without this number, you cannot register for DGCA theory exams such as Air Navigation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Regulations, or Technical General — all of which are mandatory for CPL and PPL issuance in India.
No DGCA Computer Number = No DGCA Exams = No CPL Progress.
It is the foundation of your pilot career in India.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Education | 10+2 from recognized board |
| Mandatory Subjects | Physics & Mathematics |
| Proof of DOB | 10th Certificate |
| ID Proof | Aadhaar / Passport |
| Board Verification | Mandatory |
If you completed 12th without Physics & Mathematics, you must clear them via NIOS or an equivalent recognized board before applying.
| Feature | DGCA Computer Number | DGCA License Number |
|---|---|---|
| Issued When? | Before DGCA exams | After skill test & CPL approval |
| Purpose | Exam registration identity | Legal flying authorization |
| Validity | Lifetime | Depends on license renewal |
The Computer Number is your exam identity. The License Number is your flying authorization. They are not the same — and both are essential in your pilot career in India.
DGCA now integrates DigiLocker for automatic verification of 10th and 12th certificates. If your educational records are digitally available, the Computer Number approval process may be faster.
⚠️ If DigiLocker details mismatch your application data, rejection is automatic.
Follow this official DGCA Pariksha portal process carefully to avoid rejection and ensure smooth approval for your pilot examinations in India.
Go to the official DGCA examination portal and select the “Flight Crew” category.
👉 https://pariksha.dgca.gov.in/homeDouble-check all entries before submission. Aviation paperwork demands precision.
• 10th Certificate
• 12th Marksheet (Physics & Math visible)
• Board Verification Certificate
• Valid ID Proof
• Passport Photo (White Background)
• Signature Scan
Use high-resolution scanned copies. Avoid mobile camera photos.
After submission, you will receive an application reference number. Keep this safely for tracking status.
Once approved, your DGCA Computer Number will appear in your Pariksha dashboard. This number is permanent and remains linked to your entire aviation career.
The Board Verification Certificate (BVC) confirms the authenticity of your 10th and 12th certificates. DGCA requires this before issuing a Computer Number.
• Apply via your education board website
• CBSE / State Boards have separate processes
• Processing time: 1–4 weeks
• Required for both 10th and 12th
• Must clearly show Physics & Math (for CPL)
• Missing BVC = Automatic rejection
Treat this like a pre-flight inspection. One small oversight can delay your CPL timeline.
Explore detailed guides on DGCA exams, CPL training, medical requirements, and foreign license conversion to strengthen your pilot career pathway in India.
One small error can delay your CPL timeline by weeks. Precision matters.

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.
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.
