Step 1:
Log on to DGCA Pariksha Portal and click on new candidate registration under flight crew. Individual Email ID and Mobile Number of the candidate is an essential component of the system. All important information such as Computer Number, Roll Number, Examination Schedules, and Application Status etc. will be communicated to the candidate on their email only.
a) One e-mail ID is confined to one candidate only for Registration.
b) The Login ID and the Password is unique to each applicant and the applicant is responsible to protect it.
Candidate needs to keep ready scanned/ soft copy of the following: Applicant Photograph in JPG, JPEG format. Applicant Signature in JPG, JPEG format. Make sure the name you use is the same across all documents.
Step 2:
Get your Board Verification Certificate (BVC) :
BVC is a Certificate issued by your education board stating that your marks mentioned in your marksheet are correct and not doctored in any manner. This process is different for different boards.
Step 3:
Photograph:
Photograph required for CN Application has specific dimensions. Your Photograph should –
1 Be borderless
2 Should have White Background
3 The face on the photograph must be of 35mm height and 25mm width (face size should be 70% of the Photograph) and the dimension of the passport size photograph must be 35mm x 45mm (width x height).
4 The photograph must be of matte finish.
Step 4:
Prepare Soft Copies for all Documents :
Scan all documents according to the specification mentioned in the Pariksha User Manual.
INSERT PIC
You might need to compress and reduce the size of a few documents to make them as per the requirements.If you may have noticed , the maximum allowed size for 10th Pass Certificate is just 100kb, which is very less. Please adjust the parameters carefully while compressing. I have personally observed many times CN Applications getting rejected because their scanned PDF of 10th Pass Certificate was not within the mentioned file size. So, you need to carefully compress it and make sure that the content on the Certificate is readable comfortably.
Now that you have everything that is needed for your CN Application, you can start filling your application online on Pariksha Website. Detailed instructions to fill up the application can be found in the Pariksha User Manual.
Step 5:
Prepare Physical Documents :
The Physical CN Application : After successfully filling up the application, you will receive an email from DGCA with a PDF attachment of your application. Take a colored printout of that application PDF. Now, go on Page 3 and Fill up the Part 8 – “DECLARATION” using BLACK BALL POINT PEN ONLY.
Now comes a crucial part of the application : Part 9 – “CERTIFICATION BY COMPETENT AUTHORITY”. Stick the same photo that you had scanned for the application. If your photo is according to the required dimensions, it will fit perfectly inside the box. Now, either from a CFI/PII/Gazetted Officer/Notary Public, attest the application. The Stamp and Sign of the Attesting Officer should be partly on the photo and partly on the paper.Make a Xerox Copy of all the documents that you had uploaded for the Application and attest them (True copy and self attestation)
Step 6:
Prepare Envelope for Post :
Buy an A2 or A3 size envelope for posting these Physical documents to DGCA. Take a print out of this Page :
INSERT PAGE
After editing with your relevant information, paste it on the front side of your envelope. Serially arrange the documents according to the sequence mentioned on Page 2 of your CN Application and put all the documents inside the envelope.
Step 7:
Final Checklist:
Before sealing your envelope and sending it to DGCA ,
1 Kindly check if you have all documents ‘s Xerox duly attested, Your CN Application and Cover letter (if needed).
2 Verify everywhere that you have entered the correct information. Verify your Temp ID on the Envelope Cover Page.
3 Now pray to God that your hard work pays off and seal the envelope properly.
Step 8 :
Posting it to DGCA:
Now finally the last step. Go to your nearest Post Office and Post your Envelope to DGCA CEO using SPEED POST ONLY. Since Speed Post gets a Tracking ID , you can track your application using the Speed Post Website . Make sure you Post it ASAP because you have only 10 days in hand for the application to reach DGCA.
When your application reaches DGCA, you will receive an Email of Acknowledgement.
Step 9 :
Acknowledgement Email:
Success : If your application and all documents are correct and scrutinized, you will be allotted a Permanent Computer Number and will be informed to you via Email.
Rejection : If there is some problem with your documents, your application will be rejected and the reason for Rejection is mentioned in the email sent by DGCA. Start a new Application with the suggested amendments and send your application to DGCA again. I recommend that you attach a cover letter this time mentioning your previous Rejected Application Temp ID, reasons of Rejection and the amendments you have made in your new application.
