There are 8 of us from the first batch of 24 who haven't received any information for our training. So waiting for that now.

To renew your license, you need to do a FAM flight, GFT day & GFT night. I got mine done in a day. These tests can be done within 6 months of expiry of your license. I don't think DGCA will renew your license prior to 2-3 months of the expiry date, but you can always visit the office and ask them whether it will be possible to get it renewed prior to that. Whoever needed the renewal done earlier than that was asked to submit the email from JA.
Current IR is not required. But you can always do it if you like.
