AmateurAviator - You must do your Class 2 first and then get an assessment (declaring FIT) of the same from the DGCA, which would take around 2 months (in my case). Once you get the Class 2 assessment, you can request for a date to do your Class 1 with the medical centers mentioned on the DGCA website. When you clear your Class 1, you will be given a CA35 medical certificate which is sufficient to get an Indian CPL. Though it takes another 2 months to get your Class 1 assessment from the DGCA, which is your original Class 1 medical certificate. Hope this helps.
