After duly following the instructions as laid down in pariksha.dgca.gov.in one gets an e-mail stating that documents have been received. Approximately after 45 days, the candidate will be informed through mail/SMS about the computer number. In case of rejection, reasons will be given. But the catch is that all the documents/ process has to be repeated even for one minor mistake. This will make the candidate wait again for approx. 2 months. As such one must be very careful &/ precise in applying for a “Computer Number”.
