I got selected for chimes icpp but I haven't cleared any dgca exams so I'll be starting from scratch I am very much worried please give any tip or advice which would help. Also I've seen a lot of people have already atleast 1 or 2 papers so is it rare for people with zero exams cleared to join icpp?
Hey guys,
Looking to enrol my brother in the cadet pilot program and looking with indigo which flying school has fastest intake and flying completion. Budget not an issue only faster route is priority. Medicals are done will apply for computer number soon.
Just excited to hear your thoughts. I have my igrua interview coming up but ive heard a lot of bad things about it.
I will tae loans for whole amount regardless of any flight school I get in. My only goal is to get a job in india quick.
This means FTA seems like the best because its cadet, but it also costs 70-80 lakhs more than IGRUA.
Is choosing FTA something I will regret?
I applied around 22 nd April. No reply yet, only got acknowledgment that day.
How much time does getting computer number take and is it any faster to get it through any agencies?(I just saw ad on Instagram. They were saying that they got a student. His computer number in three days.) just wanted to know that if it was a scam or it would take the same time if I applied it myself.
im a grade 12 indian cbse board student.
is there any cut off for my marks or percentage that matters because i scored avg..pls help
Overall, the experience was pretty smooth and mildly anxious at times
Before the appointment, you can call the Apollo Hyderabad medical number and they’ll guide you on the diet/restrictions to follow about a week prior. I had to stop taking whey protein and creatine temporarily too 😞
I reported to the hospital around 8 AM they asked me to stay fasting for 10hrs . Started with blood tests, then had to drink a lot of water for the abdomen ultrasound. After that, they guide you through different departments on the same floor — eye checkup, ECG, chest X-ray, ENT, etc.
Also attached picture of the tests you should undergo in the medical
Most of the tests were pretty quick and well-organized. Thankfully, all departments cleared me and I got my FIT clearance the same day. I was lucky because sometimes it can take longer depending on extra tests, reports, or doctor availability.
The medical cost me around ₹19,500. Once your tests are done, the hospital staff basically takes care of the rest of the process and uploads the reports/results directly onto the DGCA eGCA portal as well, which makes things much easier.
Tips for anyone going soon:
2)Get a blood test done 1–2 weeks before
Helps you identify issues like cholesterol, liver values, etc., beforehand.
Be mentally ready to wait
Hospitals involve a lot of waiting. I met a guy who had been coming for 3 straight days because of elevated cholesterol levels and other shit
HYDRATION IS A MUST
3L+ water daily is non-negotiable. Start at least a week before the medical.
Make sure to carry your phone with full charge and also earphones along with you😴
Feel free to ask me anything regarding the process :)
All the best
Its a huge investment, but it looks like a really good school to be, which will probably have top class training. Any advice/ anything i should know?
preferably from people who are cadets there, but all comments are welcome!
Hey guys!!!
I’m planning to take Nav recorded classes from Doc Pilot.10 and wanted some genuine reviews from students who have already taken the course.
How are the recorded lectures for Nav preparation? Are the explanations clear enough for DGCA exams, especially for someone studying mainly through recordings?
Also, is the course actually worth the 80-90k price tag?
One more thing — does the package include live doubt-clearing sessions/interactions, or is it purely recorded classes only?
I personally prefer learning from recorded lectures because I like studying at my own pace, rewinding, revising, etc., so I’d really appreciate honest feedback from people who’ve actually used the course.
Thanks in advance!
RANT!!!!
Waiting for chimes for about 4 months now , its crazy. I am questioning everything. I left IGRUA for this, all of my friends who chose the conventional route are about to get their solo done.
According to previous trends they should have opened the applications by now
Any idea when will it open???? and what's causing this delay
Hello everyone, let’s do a healthy discussion on this. For people choosing cadet pathway, it’s totally a personal preference but tell me what makes you come to a conclusion that conventional is dead. Discuss on fact based data like every airlines yearly induction and all.

This no is itself a scam. This is the total no of CPL issued from 2020 to 2026. Do you think there was no hiring done between this period? This whole 5500 narrative is being circulated by that chasmish guy on insta, he just wanted to create panic and get in as much as admissions possible. According to a Report of TOI, their were 9073 pilots employed by airlines in 2020. Latest report no is 13989. Many joined private airlines, NSOP, became instructor, i mean any sane guy would do the math instead of believing the narrative.
Are there any active cadet programs from indigo right now and also any idea idea on which all schools will open their cadet program in next 2 months . Also any telegram channel which will notify kn this

Hey everyone,
I’m seriously thinking about the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program, but I’m a bit confused and honestly a little worried because it’s a huge financial decision for me and my family.
I wanted to ask people who actually know the aviation space or have gone through it:
- After finishing the cadet program, is the job actually immediate or is there a waiting period?
- Is there currently any holding pool or delay situation happening in IndiGo?
- In today’s market, how realistic is it to expect a smooth job entry after training?
I’m not looking for brochure answers just real experiences or honest opinions from people in aviation.
Would really appreciate any guidance.
Im 15 and i wanna become a pilot i really love planes so as i researched i came upon icpp. i figured out air india cpp cost waaayy moreeee soo i thought indigo was a good idea and it is better than conventional path so i was wondering if anyone that is in or was in icpp can give me some advice and tell me about the cost of training in icpp, I know it will be more than 1 crore but if i get some idea it will be great.
