Five DGCA theory papers plus RTR(A).
The route to a commercial licence
Six stages, and the order matters as much as the content. Doing them in the wrong sequence is the most expensive mistake a candidate makes.
DGCA computer number
Handled by DGCA
Your identity with the regulator. Nothing else in the process can be registered without it, so it goes first.

Handled by an authorised examiner
Do this early. A Class 2 is enough to start flying, but a commercial licence needs the Class 1, and it is far better to find out about a problem now than after you have paid for training.

Every paper you have to clear
A commercial licence needs five DGCA theory papers plus the radio telephony licence. We teach all six, in the order that makes them easiest to hold on to.
Air Navigation
Charts, flight planning, mass and balance, and radio navigation aids.
Aviation Meteorology
Atmosphere, wind, cloud, and the weather hazards that affect a flight.
Air Regulations
ICAO annexes, Indian CARs, licensing rules and human factors.
Technical General
Airframes, engines, systems, instruments and aerodynamics.
Technical Specific
Type-specific theory for the aircraft you are endorsed on.
RTR(A)
Radio Telephony Restricted (Aeronautical), phraseology and procedures.
Each paper is marked out of 100 and passed at 70. There is no aggregate across papers: you clear them one at a time.
Which one applies to you
Three licence tracks, all taught against the DGCA papers you actually have to sit.

The long answers each have a page of their own: the documents, the sequence, and the things that catch people out.
DGCA Computer NumberDGCA Class 1 MedicalHow to Become a Pilot
Which subjects are in the DGCA CPL exam?
Five theory papers (Air Navigation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Regulations, Technical General and Technical Specific) plus RTR(A), the Radio Telephony Restricted (Aeronautical) licence, which is examined separately.
Who can join DGCA ground classes?
You need 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics from a recognised board. Candidates who completed 10+2 without those subjects can add them through an open school before applying.
Do I need a DGCA computer number before the exams?
Yes. The computer number is your identity with DGCA and is mandatory before you can register for any pilot licence examination or correspond with the regulator. You can start ground classes before it comes through.
Can I sit the DGCA exams without attending ground classes?
DGCA does not require you to attend a ground school to appear for the theory papers. Ground classes exist because the papers are demanding, and structured teaching is what most candidates clear them on.
Should I do my medical before or after starting ground classes?
Get the Class 1 medical done early. A Class 2 is enough to begin flying training, but the Class 1 is what a commercial licence needs, and it is better to know about any issue before you commit money to the rest of the process.
Where are the classes held?
The Gyan Cafe, Devnagar Cross Road, Gota, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Call us and we will tell you what is running and when.
Ask us what to do next, before you pay anyone
Tell us where you have got to (computer number, medical, which papers are left) and we will tell you what comes next, and in what order.
