Exams are locked in for December 16 through 20, 2025, rolling out across 15+ centers nationwide from Kolkata and Guwahati in the East to Mumbai and Pune in the West, New Delhi and Lucknow up North, Chennai and Hyderabad down South, plus a Bengaluru hub for good measure. Slots in prime spots like Delhi and Mumbai? They’re vanishing faster than fog on a clear runway, so if you haven’t hit submit, log in pronto at pariksha.dgca.gov.in.
“We’ve seen a surge in applications this cycle, thanks to the aviation hiring boom,” notes a DGCA insider. “Newbies and retakers alike
grab your computer number via Digilocker if needed, and double-check the user manual for eligibility snags. No hard copies required anymore; it’s all digital.”
Miss this, and you’re sidelined until early 2026’s next round. With India’s skies buzzing over 5 lakh daily domestic flyers and counting these licenses are golden tickets to crews at IndiGo, Air India, and beyond.

Portal’s live till midnight-ish, but don’t test fate. Head over, pay up, and plot your path to the cockpit. Wings don’t wait.
