The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated the auto-generation of Computer Numbers for Flight Crew candidates applying through the Pariksha website/portal, effective October 16, 2025. This initiative aims to utilize the DigiLocker facility to streamline the application process, enhance ease of doing business, and eliminate manual document submission and verification.
Implementation will occur in phases. Phase I involves auto-generation for candidates who have passed their 10th and 12th examinations from the CBSE Board, contingent on successful verification through DigiLocker. Subsequent phases will extend the facility to candidates from other recognized boards whose 10th and 12th mark sheets/certificates are available in DigiLocker. The auto-generation system will automatically allot a Computer Number upon successful submission of the online application on the DGCA Pariksha Portal, according to DGCA's eligibility criteria.
This initiative is part of a broader effort, directed by the Minister of Civil Aviation Shri Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapau, to digitize processes in DGCA/BCAS offices via eGCA and other platforms, ensuring ease of flying and approval processes for students, pilots, and stakeholders with quick response and no human intervention. The release ID is 2180501. The initiative was posted on 17 OCT 2025 7:23PM by PIB Delhi.
