I am giving this advice again ...
When you are at lower end of hours, while applying for computer number apply for "PPL" as category... instead of "CPL".... "CARs for PPL are way much relaxed", right now you can go and appeal with the CEO,
Computer number once issued remains same for PPL/CPL or ATPL.
Applying fcomputer number for PPL doesn't restrict you from appearing in other cats..
