Wrong..!!
DGCA is an organisation which will teach you the meaning of the words patience and persistence.
I've seen people getting their licenses rejected for silly reasons like:
1) The CFI's signature doesnt look same on all pages(signing 100papers in a row,he's also human)
2)Forms not completed accordingly(Even though they're well filled)
3)And the worst part, they just create rules for themselves.
When it comes to conversion the licensing officer can demand anything from you and if you question his authority he will only say take it if you want!

But still these are exp. for my friends who applied at the same time with me.
But I got my license in 70 days. Even though I had to make atleast 25 calls to DGCA and write them frequent emails.

I just wanted to tell this out to people as DGCA has created some issue during conversion for almost everyone i know.

Agents are going to charge you from 25K upwards. And it goes up if you miss any papers. I know quite a few in delhi. PM me if you need any numbers.
Personally i'd recommend go there by yourself and try your luck.
