DGCA Computer Number application process has focused on making it more applicant-friendly and reducing unnecessary delays due to minor mistakes. The most significant of these is the introduction of the "Partial Rejection System."
if an applicant made any mistake—such as a missing document, an incorrectly attested certificate, or a wrongly formatted photograph—the entire Computer Number application would be rejected. The applicant then had to start the process from scratch, including resubmitting all documents and waiting through the entire review period again. This led to frustration and significant delays for many aspiring pilots.
With the Partial Rejection System, the DGCA now allows candidates to correct specific deficiencies in their application without having to reapply from the beginning.
How Partial Rejection System Works
- Notification of Deficiency: If the DGCA finds an issue with your application (for example, a missing document or an improperly formatted photo), you will receive an email detailing the specific deficiency.
- Opportunity to Correct: You are given a fixed window of time to log in to the Pariksha portal and upload the corrected or missing documents, photographs, or signatures.
- Multiple Chances: The system typically allows up to three opportunities to correct deficiencies. If you fail to address the issues within the allowed attempts or timeframe, the application will then be fully rejected and you’ll need to reapply.
- Clear Communication: The reason for partial rejection and the required corrective action are clearly communicated to the applicant, reducing confusion and making it easier to comply.
Benefits of the Partial Rejection System
- Reduces Delays: Applicants no longer need to restart the entire process for minor, correctable errors.
- Encourages Accuracy: By specifying exactly what needs to be fixed, the system helps applicants learn and avoid repeating mistakes.
- Streamlines Processing: DGCA staff can focus on reviewing only the corrected portions, making the process more efficient for both applicants and the authority.
- Transparency: Applicants receive clear, actionable feedback and can track the status of their application online.
Other Things to Know
- Online Tracking: Applicants can track the status of their Computer Number application via the Pariksha portal, increasing transparency and reducing anxiety about application progress.
- Comprehensive Guidelines: The Pariksha User Manual and FAQs are regularly updated to help candidates understand requirements and avoid common mistakes.
- Document Uploads: The portal allows for digital uploads of documents, reducing reliance on physical paperwork and postal delays.
What Happens if Corrections Aren’t Made?
If you do not correct the deficiencies within the specified time or after the allowed number of partial rejections, your application will be completely rejected. You will then need to submit a new application, including all documents and fees, and restart the waiting period.
Summary:
The Partial Rejection System is a significant process improvement in the DGCA Computer Number allotment process. It allows candidates to fix specific mistakes without starting over, making the journey to becoming a pilot more efficient and less stressful.
