DGCA Launches Instant Computer Number Allotment for Flight Crew Exams

Phase I uses DigiLocker to validate CBSE credentials, with later phases to include other boards.

Overview

  • The automated feature went live on October 16, enabling real-time issuance through the DGCA Pariksha portal.
  • Eligible applicants receive a Computer Number immediately upon successful online submission that meets DGCA criteria.
  • Initial rollout applies to candidates with CBSE Class 10 and 12 records verified via DigiLocker.
  • Authorities plan to extend eligibility to other recognized boards once their certificates are available in DigiLocker.
  • The initiative is part of an eGCA-led digitisation push directed by Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapau to speed approvals, increase transparency and reduce human intervention.
