People who have FAA license and thinking about converting it into DGCA now actually knows what is the difference in FAA syllabus and DGCA syllabus.

I think there is still lack of practicality in DGCA exams. Like questions about Flight planning and charts.
Knowing the theory of charts like mercator, lambarts doesn't count in how good FLYING knowledge you have. In the end you will draw a straight line from Point A to Point B and measure the Bearing (DGCA guys would know that Convergency has to be applied when plotting NDB bearings which FAA fresh pilots wouldnt know). FAA system does test it. The only thing i do not like about FAA is issuing Question banks and copy pasting the Exact same ques in Test.

However, WE ATLEAST HAVE A SYLLABUS TO REFER TO.
