Tips for Aligning Your Preparation with DGCA Calendar

1. Start 2–3 Months in Advance

DGCA exams are not easy. Subjects like air navigation require daily numerical practice. Clearway Aviation’s batches are aligned with the DGCA cycle to ensure timely syllabus completion.

2. Take Mock Tests Every Week

We conduct weekly live mock tests with topic-wise tracking. This keeps you exam-ready and helps reduce stress.

3. Choose Your Subjects Wisely

If it's your first attempt, don’t register for all subjects together. Prioritize one or two (usually Air Navigation + Air Regs).

4. Track Notification Dates

Follow Clearway Aviation for announcements regarding:

• Registration opening
• Syllabus changes
• Cut-off dates for computer number application
