FULFILLING ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Eligibility is 10 + 2 with Physics and Maths.

If you did not have Physics or Maths in 10+2, you are from Commerce or Arts , then you can give these exams from National Institute of Open School. Details of the same can be obtained from. These exams are held every year in the month of April. The eligibility for of 10+2 with Physics and Maths is required at the time of appearing for the D.G.C.A examinations. So , if you are going for international flight training then you can give these examinations once you have completed the examinations. You do not need to clear the examinations before you start your flight training.

SATISFYING MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before you begin your studies, you need to go through a thorough medical checkup which would declare you medically fit. There are two steps for obtaining the medical clearance, Class II Medical and Class I Medical.

You can obtain the Class II medical from any D.G.C.A approved doctor. The list of D.G.C.A approved doctors who can issue you the Class II Medical Certificate is available on www.dgca.nic.in/medical/class2-ind.htm.

The academy recommends …

After you have obtained the Class II Medical certificate, you need to apply for a Class I Medical Certificate to the D.G.C.A. The file that you send to D.G.C.A for Class I has to have the Class II Medical Certificate attached with it. You would be allocated a date by the concerned authorities. Nowadays, this date can be upto a period of 12-14 months later. What we suggest to people is that they can undertake a Mock Class I or an Advanced Class II which has all the tests of Class I Medical, so that if there are any medical problems we can work them out strongly.
