DGCA Computer Number

• Booking DGCA theory exams on the PARIKSHA system
• Linking your medicals, exams and flying records
• Applying for your CPL and later licences

Without it, you cannot sit the DGCA exams for CPL.

DGCA checks that your school certificates are real. The Board Verification Certificate does this.

1. Apply to your 10th and 12th boards (and NIOS, if used) for verification.
2. The board confirms your marks to DGCA or issues the certificate.
3. Upload the BVC with your eGCA application.

1. Get your BVC for 10th and 12th.
2. Create an account on eGCA, DGCA's online portal.
3. Fill in your personal and education details.
4. Upload documents (list below).
5. Pay the fee shown on eGCA and submit.
6. Track the status and download your computer number once issued.

The eGCA fee is small and shown on the portal at the time of applying. Board verification fees vary by board.

The main cost is time. A delay here can push back your exams and your whole admission timeline.

• Name spelt differently on 10th, 12th and Aadhaar
• Uploading blurred or partial scans
• Applying before the BVC is ready
• Not tracking the eGCA status for queries

1. Book your first DGCA papers on PARIKSHA. Many students start with Air Regulations.
2. Keep an eye on DGCA exam dates and session notices.
3. Check DGCA exam results on the portal after each session.
4. Add your medical records to your eGCA profile.
5. Share the number with your flying school and lender for your file.

See which papers to take first in the DGCA exams guide.

• Read the query message on eGCA carefully
• Upload the exact document asked for, not a substitute
• Fix name or date mismatches with an affidavit if needed
• Reply quickly. Delays push back your exam booking

1. Name matches your 10th certificate exactly.
2. Date of birth matches across all documents.
3. Physics and Maths marks are visible on the uploaded mark sheet.
4. The BVC covers every board you studied with, including NIOS.
5. Photo and signature meet the eGCA size and format.
6. Your email and phone are ones you will keep for years.
7. You have saved a copy of the full application.

Lenders do not always need the number, but it helps your file. It shows you have cleared the first DGCA step.

• Apply for the number and the loan in the same month
• Share the number, medical and offer letter with your counsellor together
• Ask for stage wise disbursal that matches your exam and flying schedule

The total is small. The real cost of a mistake is time, since every delay pushes back your DGCA exam dates.

• Your flying school: many guide new students through eGCA
• Ground schools: often help batches apply together
• Yourself: the eGCA steps are simple if documents are ready

Never share your eGCA password with an agent. You will use this account for every licence you hold.

Students heading to South Africa, the USA, New Zealand or Canada should get the computer number first.

• It is needed for the DGCA papers in your licence conversion
• Board verification is easier while you are in India
• It lets you write some DGCA papers before or between foreign training stages

• Start the Board Verification Certificate right after your 12th or NIOS results
• Use the exact name and date of birth from your 10th certificate everywhere
• Check eGCA every few days and answer DGCA queries quickly
• Get the number before ground school ends so exam bookings are never delayed
