DGCA says allotment of computer numbers done in transparent manner, advises candidates against rumours

DGCA issues notice warning candidates about misleading elements regarding computer numbers and exams, assures transparent process and provides complaint channel.

"all the examinations and allotment of computer numbers are undertaken in a transparent and fair manner - DGCA notice"

New Delhi, April 5

Directorate General of Civil Aviation has said that it has come to its notice that that some elements are misleading the candidates for the issue of Computer Number, passing the examination papers and RTR Practical examination and asserted that all the examinations are held in a transparent and fair manner.

In a public notice posted on its X handle, DGCA also said if candidates are facing any type of challenges, they can make a complaint.

"It has come to the notice of DGCA that some elements are misleading the candidates for the issue of Computer Number, passing the examination papers (CPL/ATPL) and RTR Practical examination. It is to inform that all the examinations and allotment of computer numbers are undertaken in a transparent and fair manner," the notice said.

DGCA advised candidates to refrain from such rumours.

"If candidates are facing any type of challenges, they can report or complaint to dgoffice.dgca@nic.in. Strict action will be taken on the intermediary/agent/broker," he added.

The Civil Aviation Ministry had said in October last year that Directorate General of Civil Aviation has introduced auto generation of Computer Numbers for Flight Crew (FC) candidates applying through the Pariksha website/portal, with effect from October 16, 2025.

It had said that the initiative is aimed at utilization of DigiLocker facility, streamlining the application process, enhancing ease of doing business and eliminating manual document submission and verification.

The release had said implementation will be carried out in a phased manner.

Good that they are addressing the rumours. My cousin is preparing for CPL and was stressed about these "agents" promising guaranteed numbers for a fee. Candidates should only trust the official portal and report any such approaches immediately.

While the intention is good, the real test is in the implementation. Many government portals face glitches. I hope the Pariksha website is robust and the complaint mechanism is responsive. Delays can cost candidates dearly in terms of training and job opportunities.

Transparency is key in high-stakes exams like these. The use of DigiLocker is a smart, modern move. It should streamline everything and build trust. Candidates, please don't fall for shortcuts – it's your career on the line.

The notice is necessary, but rumours persist because there is sometimes a gap between promise and reality. DGCA must ensure the promised "strict action" is visible and quick. Only then will these touts stop operating.

As someone who went through the process a few years back, there was always this anxiety about the "number" and verification. If this new system eliminates manual delays and hassles, it will be a huge relief for future pilots. All the best to all candidates! ✈️
