Indigo Call letters for Freshers

[sandysup]

Any idea if the interview results will be declared immediately and what the next steps would be?

[bombayhues]

@sandy
The interview results for the last batch were announced almost a month after the interview and for the batch before that it was just 2 days after the interview. So it really depends on what IndiGo's current requirement is.

[peeeprune]

Hello Everyone. All the best to the pilots appearing for the interview. Not all have been called. So give it your best.

@TNT
The address can be found on indigo website, you certainly don't intend to send it to the CEOs house. Take it light :-)

@thearsenal
Yes indigo will recruit next in April.

@Mir
Don't hope that indigo will absorb you after the type if you have no hours on it. Also the last batch has arrived back with the rating and then the current batch is almost completed with selections, so indigo is getting a steady supply for the right seat. Just to caution you n nothing more than that. I wish you luck with other airlines.

Goodluck Fellas!

[THE MIR]

Do check your PM


Cheers:ok:

[peeeprune]

Son I don't reply to pm's. I dont get much free time, and keep getting pm's in good numbers so. If u want to ask something post it here, I might reply here or atleast someone else will.

Also kindly care to read the thread from the beginning and also about who started it. It's not that difficult to notice. You might get answers to a lot of your questions.

[thearsenal]

cheers peeprune

[tarmac]

are all the previous CAE-Indigo cadets online with the company now.
and what about sabena cadets ??

[capt.xyz]

almost all sabena cadets are released and flying as first officers in the company and cae self sponsored one's are also in , heard that couple of people failed the sim check after type rating gone back to do some extra hours on A320 FFS...!

[deval_soni]

Interview on 1st.

I spoke to 4 candidates who cleared written, all of them are called for interview. I guess everyone is called for interview.

Good luck to All.

[tarmac]

so i believe CAE-Indigo guys get the same contract as the other FO's after joining the company.

[kinko]

good luck for the interview guys!!

guys who are appearing on post pls do post questions etc...would be of great help to those who are appearing later!

[vern]

candidates who have their interview tomorrow, wish u the very best! do well!

[phul_tempo]

The results are out!!!!!

[LOFT]

yip the results are out..
Congratulations to everyone who have MADE IT!!!!
I wish its the entire batch :)

LOFT:ok:

[kinko]

congrats guys!!Fly by wire on the horizon!!!!;)

[Krits]

Can we have an official count of the number of people that cleared?

[Speedbird1014]

I passed yippieeee
along with 5 other people i knew on my day, dnt know bout 5 other guys who were there wid me.... :)
Congratulations to everyone who passed....:D:D:D:ok::ok::ok:

[cyrilroy21]

Congrats to all those who made it through :D

Anyone care to post the questions asked for the interview ?

[planeboy_777]

congratulations guys.......
plz put up the questions asked in your interview

[AMM88]

I cleared too! cheers to a top class assessment and an amazingly managed airline! a message to all the unemployed pilots out there,if you really have a super strong dedication and the capability to work REALLY hard,for that love of flying and aviation inside of you,remember,nothing can stop you.

[Speedbird1014]

agreed :ok:

and most of the questions were HR based, with some jeppesen and some technical about turboprops, jet engines, hypoxia and pressurization failure.

[cyrilroy21]

@Speedbird

Could you be little bit more specific about the questions asked ?

Any questions you found particularly hard or never heard of before ?

[Speedbird1014]

nothin i have never heard before, in the technical they asked
symptoms of hypoxia
why does jet engine have better performance at altitude
why does turboprops fly lower
and the vast majority were just hr related questions like
how did you choose your flying school.
what are your future plans
where do you see yourself in next 20 years...etc

All the best to anyone who will be appearing in future assessments... :ok:

[cyrilroy21]

@Speedbird

Thanks for the reply :)

All the best for future career with Indigo :D

[Speedbird1014]

thanks and all the best to you too

[Bonnie31]

hey
congratulations
where u from and whn did u applied for indigo
need details
Thanks

[kinko]

Congrats once again guys...a small exception with my interview!!they bloody drilled me on human factors,regs and icao annexures lol!!...anyway it all went well!!

looking forward to the training guys!

[Speedbird1014]

i applied in march 2010, got the call in december finally and i am from delhi.

[kinko]

Any idea when the training would commence ??

[epic787]

Hello friends, has anyone got the LOI?

And when does indigo takes medicals of the pilots?
Before giving LOI or before signing the contract?

Thank you!

[bombayhues]

IndiGo doesn't have medicals for the pilots like Jet. They consider the DGCA medicals

[epic787]

@bombay- what is the payment criteria for ratting? We have to pay once we get a LOI?

Has anyone who gave the interview recently got a LOI from indigo?

[thearsenal]

how abt posting your questions kinko especially abt the icao annexures?

[bombayhues]

@epic: You will have to make the payment before leaving for Madrid for the TR which is obviously after getting the LOI.

[Krits]

Good morning all

I got a call yesterday from Capt Patrick saying that he wants to do a short interview with me on the phone.

He asked me for a good time to call back, which I gave. But he said that the interview might not happen yesterday, but today. (Depending on when he can get another HR person on a conference call)

What is this about? and has anyone else that has cleared the interviews been approached like this?

[Speedbird1014]

OMG, do we have to do another interview:eek::eek:

i have not received any call from anyone from indiGo or CAE after the result were declared.

[phul_tempo]

This is pretty strange.

[flyinghigh89]

Hello everyone..
Congratulations to all those who cleared the exam..:)

Was just wondering if anybody has any idea when is the next assessment likely to happen??
Thanks

[Krits]

Update:

Got a call from Capt Patrick again. Was incredibly friendly. Saying IndiGo is going to fly me out to Gurgaon (tickets paid for), will be consulted over some of the observations of the interview and hopefully my LOI will also be waiting for me.

I'm in Hyderabad till the 19th and I told him so, so he said that someone will get in touch with me and co-ordinate and that i'll most probably will fly out on Monday.

[LOFT]

@Krits
That is cool.. but still check your inbox .. They have started sending out the LOIs.
Also there is another written happening on 28 Feb. All letters already been sent out to the candidates.

Cheers

LOFT:ok:

[Krits]

Yeah. I got a call from Parul shorty after the first call. Saying she didn't have my LOI. I told her about my call with Capt Patrick and she said that I'll then get it directly from IndiGo.

For the people getting their LOI's. Are there any further instructions?

[bombayhues]

Thats odd. Never heard of anybody from all the earlier batches being called for an interview after the results were declared!

[epic787]

Have they started giving the LOI?

[Uniform.]

The next assessment would be on 28th Feb 2011 in Delhi :cool:

[smoothbore]

@ LOFT and Uniform Pls check ure PMs

[livetokill22]

Hey is there a indigo exam coming uP sometime soon?
Thanks!

[bombayhues]

@livetokill: Dude, why dont you look two posts above yours?

[milton3371]

Guys regarding indigo exam ...
what is English Language Skills Test
please do share info about English Language Skills Test

what type of questions and pattern is English Language Skills Test

thanks in advance

[LOFT]

Ok guys i found out about the NOC and i am detailing it below. just correct me where ever i go wrong.

NOC Letter :


To,
CFOI,
FID,
DGCA,
Head Quarters,
Opposite Safdurjung Airport,
New Delhi.

Date: _________

Subject: issue of no objection certificate (NOC) for Airbus A320 aircraft type rating.

Respected sir,

I am _________, who wishes to undergo the type-rating programme for Airbus A320 type rating. My details are given below:

1. Name: ________
2. License No.: ______
3. Type of license: Commercial Pilot’s License.

The type rating is with _______, and the syllabus is in par with the DGCA requirements

I therefore request the NOC in my favour so that I can confirm my slot for the training under the self sponsored programme at ________ .

Thanking you in anticipation,

Sincerely,



(name)
(address & tel no.)
You'll need the following :

1. Application letter addressed to CFOI.

2. Detailed Syllabus of the TRTO.

3. Photo copy of your CPL/RTR/FRTOL

4. TRTO Approval Certificate by State's Regulatory Authority(FAA, JAA etc)

5. Simulator Level D qualification certificate
Kindly advise the amount of time required for the issuance of the NOC and also if the DGCA accepts NOC requests through courier.

LOFT:ok:

[LOFT]

@milton
yes the date is confirmed and you got the address right. dont worry about that.

but make the payment only if you are prepared for the exam.
1) exam is not easy
2) if you flunk you dont get a chance to reappear for the next six months.

so if you think you are good then go for it else just wait for the next recruitment patiently and prepare yourself well. if you do that, no one can take that right seat away from you.

Goodluck:ok:

[bombayhues]

@ LOFT: You dont need an NOC if you are going for the 320 TR to CAE, Madrid through the CAE program

[cobracommander]

guys, any idea of when the next intake for fresh applicants thru cae selection is ,after 28 feb?

Many,such as me wont b able 2 make it cos of jet test on 27 feb, outside of delhi. Let alone obtaining a letter from cae for the same.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,thanks in advance!

[flyinghigh89]

This is so wierd. All of a sudden they come out with an exam on 28th feb. Its going to be hard for not only ppl outside delhi but also around delhi cz jet n indigo prep is totally different..jet is all basic n indigo is oxford.
I can only hope they come out with an exam soon.
As mentioned in the above post anybody has any idea when is the next exam going to be most prob?
thanks
all the best to all those giving the exam

[FlyByWire320]

Can anyone please post the call letter they have received. Cause as per my knowledge, Indigo was'nt supposed to have another exam till march end. So this might be fake.

Plz post the call letter.

[LOFT]

Can anyone please post the call letter they have received. Cause as per my knowledge, Indigo was'nt supposed to have another exam till march end. So this might be fake.


The exam is very much real and its happening on the 28th Feb. The next attempt could be somewhere in last week of april it seems or may be sooner than that. so just prep up and keep a watch on it.

@ bombayhues
are you very sure that there is no need of NOC for the Indigo Cae programme candidates.... although parul has not mentioned anything regarding the NOC till now in any of the convos.

[planeboy_777]

Is this recruitment meant for Ab-initio or for Type rated pilots????

[bombayhues]

@LOFT: I am sure dude. None of the guys from the earlier 3 batches needed one

[bombayhues]

@planeboy: The recruitment is for Ab-initio pilots

[LOFT]

@BHues
thanks a lot.. got a confimation from someone else as well..
any heads up on how do i prepare myself for the type, any books or study material that you could recommend. :ok:

[bombayhues]

@LOFT: Now thats something that I wouldn't know buddy

[planeboy_777]

are you sure they are inducting Ab-initio's ... if you have any e-mail from them please put it..

please dont write such thing ..otherwise no one will reply to your answer lol:}:}:}:}:}

[LOFT]

ok some basic practice questions which i can think of right now:


increase in flaps will cause v2 to increase, decrease or remain unchanged.

is max cruise thrust greater, lesser or equal to max continous thrust

how does change in altitude affect specific fuel consumption(sfc) - increase, decrease, remains constant.

what is the best air:fuel ratio by weight for jet engines

at which point or region of a jet engine is the pressure at its highest

For a given aerofoil, the AOA which results in a stall:
(a) remains constant regardless of bank, load or TAS
(b) varies directly with the degree of bank
(c) varies with the speed of airflow around aerofoil

The stall speed of an aircraft will increase with:
(a) decrease in the load factor
(b) increase in the pitch attitude for straight and level
(c) increase in the all up weight of the aircraft


The three axis of an aircraft intersect at the:
(a) centre of pressure
(b) centre of gravity
(c) midpoint of the datum line

When approaching the stall, the separation point
(a) always stays in the same position
(b) moves rearward
(c) moves towards the transition point

The primary function of the rudder, while entering a turn from straight-and-level flight, is to:
(a) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on higher wing
(b) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on lower wing
(c) overcome yaw caused by raised aileron on higher wing

An aircraft is in a state of equilibrium in:
(a) a steady rate 1 turn
(b) in a steady climb
(c) during take off

Adverse aileron yaw is reduced by the use of:
(a) vortex generators
(b) frise type ailerons
(c) boundary layer fences

Flying near high ground or mountains with winds in excess of 15km, you can expect strong turbulence and down draughts. What would you do to avoid damaging the aircraft and / or loosing control?
(a) maintain your heading and speed
(b) slow down to manoeuvring speed
(c) slow down to manoeuvring speed and fly upwind of ridge

On a cold, clear, humid night with a light wind, radiation fog will form. What might form when the wind picks up to 15kts?
(a) dew
(b) frost
(c) stratus

Which clouds are the least likely to produce airframe icing?
(a) middle cloud
(b) high cloud
(c) vertical development cloud

:ok:

[37thousandfeet]

Adverse aileron yaw is reduced by the use of
ans: boundary layer fences

correct me if i m wrong...

[superdunkaroos]

NO

frise ailerons reduce adverse yaw(caused by aileron drag)

[planeboy_777]

is max cruise thrust greater, lesser or equal to max continous thrust

Dude,ROFL:}:} how on earth can this be possible maann......Just look at an A320 throttle quadrant it has 6 Detents
(starting form the aft to forward position)
'Max reverse'-'Reverse Idle'-'Idle'-'Climb'-'Maximum Cont Thrust/Flex'-'TOGA'

in airbus language you said that CLIMB >than MCT which is not true
lolzzzz

[LOFT]

@PB777
dude contain your excitement and re-read your recent post, and see if you can still make the following statement


in airbus language you said that CLIMB >than MCT


aadityaslg (http://www.pprune.org/members/238639-aadityaslg) never meant that....

I aint posting questions so that people who know the right answers can laugh their ass off on people who dont, and you have not even understood the question.

so if you want say something then say it in a way that doesnt offend others else just stay out of it, in your own confines.

LOFT:ok:

[3443 nautical miles]

high clouds r least likely to produce airframe icing

[aadityaslg]

:D thanks LOFT!

plane_777 R u mad? :mad:
Just give the right answer.

And my bad on the Icing question.
I read it as "Most" Likely (RTFQ!!!!)

Yes Cirrus Clouds or high clouds will give least icing(mostly of ice crystals).

[milton3371]

hi guys ....
do cae indigo exam has negative marks for wrong answers ?

and regarding navigation ...do they ask numerics like cp,pnr,scale,magnetism etc ?
can any1 be specific about the exam ?

it will be helpful

thanks in advance

[Uniform.]

no -ve markings
scale numerical are imp.
no cp-pnr numerical were asked in dec. attempt but u can still practice the single leg to be on safer side..
focus on human performance, go thru oxford question set once

[LOFT]

@adityaslg

buddy you got 2,3,5 and last question incorrect.
The correct answers are as follows:


max cruise thrust less than max continous thrust


The SFC remains almost constant irrespective of altitude, its a ratio of fuel flow by thrust, so as thrust is reduced the fuel flow also reduced and the ratio remains the same ( your reasoning was correct but answer marked was wrong)



at which point or region of a jet engine is the pressure at its highest
ans: at the inlet of the Combustion Chamber


and the last one as already pointed out is High Clouds. rest all are correct.


GoodLuck:ok:

[LOFT]

@milton

also have a look at the previous pages of this thread. you will get a fair amount of idea about the type of questions asked, although the paper will vary from what has already been posted.

study aerodynamics and radio nav well is what i can suggest. and dont skip met.

:ok:

[milton3371]

Thanks a lot guys ...
thanks for the questions and answers, posted here ....

[cobracommander]

loft:

Sfc= f.flo/g.s , as u go higher, lesser density. Therefore, more tas,
Inshort sfc reduces.
Am i wrong?

about the hi pressure region in jet engine, its got to be h.p,c in an axial flow type, as the pressure keeps increasing with each stage . Your ans could be correct for a centrifugal type.

[SuperflyTNT]

Hey everyone,

I applied for the IndiGo-CAE A320 Program sometime in May or June. I have 25hrs on the multi required by them along with the CPL and RTR, Class I medical and everything else. I haven't been called for a sitting even once while I know a few pilots who have sat for the exam twice. What must be done?

Any idea when will the next session be held (after the one being held on Feb. 28)

[alkatdiaz]

are the questions of human factors directly picked from oxford.
hw much regs comes in the exam.

[alkatdiaz]

is there any definite passing marks in the exam

[milton3371]

hi,
Where can i get oxford question bank for human performance?
couldnt find , rather i can only find , nav, inst , radioaids ..

any idea ? or any online portal ?

thanks

[cobracommander]

arent hurricanes cyclones?

So will a hurricane appearing in gulf of mexico move in :

A.Northwesterly curving to northeast
B.counterclockwise ovr open water qnd dissipate ovr land?

I feel its b. But its not!!

[planeboy_777]

even thoug your book says but Itzz b
:ok:

[cobracommander]

it is not b,
Google it for yourself, i did and was dumbfounded To know its a!

[LOFT]

@cobracommander

SFC = fuel flow : thrust

Since at high altitudes the density of air is low, the fuel flow is reduced to maintain the best air to fuel ratio. But for a given Mach speed flown the amount of Thrust required is less at a high cruise altitude compared to that required at lower altitudes.

Since fuel flow and thrust both are reduced at similar rates, the ratio remains nearly constant. SFC also has a lot to do with the weight of the aircraft.
Consider the following example, taken from somewhere else :


Tsfc is wonderfully low at sea-level on take-off, perhaps 0.35kg/kg-hr ISA. If your aircraft weighs 200 tonnes and its lift to drag ratio is 10:1 it needs 20 tonnes thrust to remain in equilibrium. At sea-level tsfc 0.35kg/kg-hr that's a fuel flow of 20000 x 0.35 = 7000kg/hr. But if the aircraft magically cleaned up its act, pulled in all extruberances and staggered up to FL290 it might have a L/D of 20:1 and supposing it still weighed 200 tonnes the specific fuel consumption would have risen to about 0.65kg/kg-hr. Do the sums and the fuel flow is 6500kg/hr for equilibrium. Later on having burned off some weight and settled at FL370 the tsfc improves, getting more "on-axis" to mebbe 0.55kg/kg/hr but push your luck to FL390 and tsfc is beginning to go a bit "off-axis" performance-wise again and tsfc tends towards 0.58kg/kg/hr say. All this for my example aircraft. Pick another aircraft and its different.


correct me if i am wrong :ok:

[cobracommander]

what you claim is true for TsfC which is different from sfc.
You're confused between the two.
Sfc has got nothing to do with thrust.

Im not an atpl so my views are limited on tsfc

[LOFT]

@CC

Buddy i am open to learning something new or something which i dont have any knowledge about, but your data on SFC seems to be incorrect. There is no direct relationship between SFC and G.S . The formula you provided "sfc= ff/gs" is not accurate.

Let me explain you what i know.

SFC is measured in two ways.
1) For Turbo Fan Engines
SFC is measured in terms of Thrust, called as Thrust specific fuel consumption(Tsfc )or just Sfc. And its a ratio of fuel flow to Thrust.

2) For Turbo Props or Turbo Shaft Engines
SFC is measured in terms of Power. And it is a ratio of fuel flow to shaft horse power (shp).

SFC in itself is nothing more than just a fuel flow rate. It has to be associated with, and measured in terms of either thrust or power in order to use it as a tool for differentiating between different type of engines and their performance.

I hope you have some idea now about what i am trying to say.:ok:

[planeboy_777]

this questions is for those who cleared the Interview...Is group exercise so mentioned on their cae website still part of their assessment. If yes, then
how many cadets are shortlisted in this phase of their assessment and furthermore what is the weightage for Regs and Met in the written test :):)


:ok::ok::ok::ok:

[harsh786techy]

There are two terms
1. Navigation SFC
2. Engine SFC

Navigation SFC= FF/GS
whereas Engine SFC= FF/Engine thrust.

Hope this clears the doubt.
To add more ques and discussions please post it on Jet airways ques portal. Will be appreciated.

Fly safe

[LOFT]

Thanks harsh, appreciated.:ok:

[alkatdiaz]

has any one received the hall ticket for assessment on 28th feb

[planeboy_777]

nope:ugh::ugh:...did anyone paid the sum of 20k's:uhoh::uhoh:

[yash]

how many giving the exam ??

[cobracommander]

what is the effect of power v/s altitude, endurance charcteristics for foll:

[GONG]

any guesses on the number of applicants sitting for the cae's xam on 28th feb 2011 ??

[GONG]

any guesses guys on the number of applicants that got thru wid 6E's CAE's xam held on 28 feb 2011....45 sat for the written !!

[cobracommander]

gong,

Since you seem to know so much and everyone else is playing coy about the aftermath,why don't you do the honors of providing the rest of the info for the other discerning people out here.

Thanks,
CC.

;)

[LOFT]

28th Feb recruitment by CAE, was a big eyewash more than anything else.... everyone had a view about cae indigo exam which should have changed drastically after this attempt... Very Unprofessional. Certainly did not expect this from them.

[GONG]

@cobracommander
Dude i also sat for the written and it was a real big eyewash to all the 45 ppl who sat as being said by Loft .I dun knw much as i left after hearing my result which unfortunately was "Unsuccessful "acc to Cpt.Bharati.....

[FlyByWire320]

@LOFT and GONG.

Stop blaming the recruitment process for your failures:=, stop wasting your time here and start studying, your basic CPL days are over, theres a lot of competition and you really need to have a strong knowledge base to crack that exam. So buck up and start studying:ok: instead of blaming the whole system, otherwise you will be hearing the "unsuccessful":ugh: word all your life.

And cheer up guys, you can always get another chance.

[cobracommander]

gong:

Did you say capt.B?! Weird,I thought initial stage is 3rd party's(CAE) duty to select candidates to ensure fairness and no influencing by Indigo!
Anyway how many actually got through? Did they all look calm before taking the test and before the results were announced?
Any idea when is the next DATE for freshers?

[GONG]

@flybywire
I am not blaming any1 brother .I tried to put forward my review . dts all.And yes i am studying for future hoping to catch some genuine opportunity if it comes my way .:ok:
@ cobracommander
Mr.Bharati is from CAE only mate and next exam likely to be held in 2nd or 3rd week of april .Just guessing not sure though!!!!

@FBW320


Stop blaming the recruitment process for your failures:=, stop wasting your time here and start studying, your basic CPL days are over, theres a lot of competition and you really need to have a strong knowledge base to crack that exam.Wowwww Dude, thanks for letting me know, i seriously overlooked that fact. you really opened my eyes today... i so wish i could personally meet and thankyou for the enlightment.


So buck up and start studying:ok: instead of blaming the whole system, otherwise you will be hearing the "unsuccessful":ugh: word all your life. Ooohhh how did you get on this secret of me being a failure, damn you dude ... you are good... but you know what, i wouldnt mind facing a failure in my life as much as i would regret turning into a person like you.

please put forward your delightful experience with the recent exam (if any)....

@Gong
Capt. UB is with Indigo and not CAE. but in the end it really doesnt matter.

LOFT:ok:

[LOFT]

@FBW320
son i am glad to know that you have reached somewhere in life which makes you feel so good to recommend it to others, but i dont wish and dont intend to be where you are today.

I have faith in what i do, and i say what i believe in.
Sure you must have given enough exams in life, everybody does, but it doesnt make you, me or anyone else an authority on it.

wish you abundant success in life too!!!

LOFT:ok:

[GONG]

@loft
I was not aware of that .Thanks for letting me know bro !!!And very true it doesn't even matter now.:ugh:

[tarmac]

@pulk you should consider becoming a motivational speaker. Kidding.
Well 2/45, I thought CAE is going to stick with their 10% rule.

[cobracommander]

Mr.CFI ,
Glad to know about your merits! congrats.

so, may we have some questions that appeared in the test, especially the ones that left you dumbfounded?:rolleyes:

thanks in advance

CC.

[Fibreglass]

Do they mark the papers on the spot pulkdahulk?

[IFLY1990]

Yes they do mark the paper on the spot, and there is no such 10% rule, whoever studies hard cleares.

8/45 cleared this time, 6 guys and 2 girls.:ok:

[IFLY1990]

next exam might be in april end, and study oxford.

[vdaff]

If we pass the exams do we need to pay for the type ratins? Pls tell

[IFLY1990]

yes you have to pay

[alkatdiaz]

if we clear .....does indigo helps you providing the loan

[bombayhues]

Alkatdiaz: IndiGo will provide you with a Letter of Intent (LOI) based on which you can get a loan.

[alkatdiaz]

cass exam is scheduled on 7-9th march..
they send me mail regarding this but i dont know what to expect.
do they tell everything on the spot or send some handbook...plzz someone shed some light ...and how difficult is cass..??Does english test comes under cass??what kind of english questions are asked??how to prepare???immediate help required...
thanks in advance?

[livetokill22]

Hi
can you please put down the topics to study for the exam?
was there any human factors? technical?
would be great help for next exam.
thanks!

[cobracommander]

alkatdiaz:

Wat is CASS? Is that the second stage of the CAE test meants for selected candidates from the first round?

Any idea when is the next CAE Indigo assessment for freshers?

Thanks
CC

[bombayhues]

@alkatdiaz: You will be emailed a handbook which tells you everything about the CASS exam. CASS is a test of your multitasking skills while the English test consists of basic grammar and speech. I believe you cant prepare for either of those yaar. From what I have been told the tests only test how good you are. Not whether you know it or not. Good luck for the test buddy :)

@livetokill: Please go through this thread and your questions should be answered :ok:

@cobra: Yes, the CASS is the second round of assessment

[tarmac]

90% people in India dont even believe that they have a slightest chance of getting a job without "Jugaad"
people who dont get through always blame it on the system and that they dont have influence.

guys keep the chin up...lots vaccancies by the end of this year.

[flyinghigh89]

Anyidea when's next??

[alkatdiaz]

indigo nxt assessment is in 3rd week of april

[SuperflyTNT]

Did you get a call letter?

[dg737]

hi

can any one plzzz tell me on wht parameters do they send the call letters got registered in dec last year in cae but no letters tried sending mail to parul frm cae but no response as usua:(....can anyone help...:sad:

[alkatdiaz]

@dg 737 : indigo cae have a lot of backlog of almost 500 cadets. so anyone applying now can expect a waiting of about 6 month before dey get call......but do apply atleat once or twice a month to be in their database always.....
@superfly: No i have already appeared last last ....capt U was telling that it will b in 8 weeks from 28th feb

[alkatdiaz]

is there anybody here who cleared cae assessment and went to madrid taking a loan based on LOI ??Does Indigo has tie-ups with any bank to which they forward you ?? Which bank provides you with loan based on your LOI ??your comment will really be helpful guys ??

[sonsal]

anybody got the exam date for 28th march?

[parasite tango]

Is there any exam on 28th march?

[THE MIR]

yes there is a CAE INDIGO exam to be held on 28th March !!:hmm:

[3443 nautical miles]

@THE MIR (http://www.pprune.org/members/338240-the-mir)

did u get the letter?

[THE MIR]

No i ddnt get any letter for it...but im very sure the exam is on 28th.

So best of luck to those who received the call letter. :ok:

[sonsal]

anybody going for 28th march assessment PM me, we can discuss regarding studies.

[3443 nautical miles]

Pls tell me how u people r getting letters I have applied a year back still no call yet

[IFLY1990]

apply again or try to contact CAE

[Aviator09]

I've received an email regarding the assessment on 28th March this afternoon from Parul Huria.The last date to revert back with confirmation of appearing is 20 March.

[tmbpilot]

@3443 nautical miles try contacting parul ...i was in the same situation called her up and got the mail for the assesment

[smoothbore]

For all those who have taken the exam before:
Do they ask a lot of questions from engines, systems??
For human performance, do we need to go through all the chapters from oxford? Or the question bank is good?

[hawaijahaj]

I also want the answer for the above post !!

[Aviator4u]

they ask on almost every topic of JAA ATPL. I would say for Human Performance, a good question bank would serve the purpose. but donot leave topics like performance and principles of flight..wish u good luck

[bombayhues]

@smootbore, hawaijahaj: No questions on Engines or Systems have been asked on the assessments till Dec 2010 (dont know about the Feb assessment)

[smoothbore]

24. If you're flying through rain that freezes on impact, ...

a) You're flying near thunderstorms
b) You're flying through a cold front
c) The freezing level would be at a higher altitude
d) Descending would make the ice go away from the airframe

@bombayhues: anything from EFIS, FMS, INS, IRS, RNAV??

[bombayhues]

Dont believe so!

[sonsal]

i know that they ask human perfomance a lot....any idea about the Flight planning????Bombayhues...shed some light here...

[IFLY1990]

@ All

CX-2 and scientific calculators are allowed.

[bombayhues]

@dg737: Yaar! Human performance is not all that huge for you to ask for specific topics or chapters. Just read all that you can get your hands on. From what I have heard from friends who have given the papers (some of whom have cleared too) that apart from basic human performance questions (hypoxia, hyperventilation, etc..) they ask CRM questions which involves reading the question, as well as the options, carefully and choosing what you feel is the best fit

@sonsal: Again I haven't followed the CAE papers very closely after that Dec'10 attempt but till then questions on flight planning were very basic. Don't know if CX2s are allowed or not but one can certainly solve the numericals without using them. What I was told is that they ask basic CP/PNR, LMT, questions related to drift, etc...

Hope this helps!

[sonsal]

did any one of you appearing on 28th march got the venue details and confirmation from Capt bharati after sending the payment reciept?

[Torque Skylon]

@ sonsal, I have got 1 letter which says that reply back with CV if interested for the Indigo exam on 28th, I replied back but did not get any other mail till now.
Did you get any other mail immediately after replying back?? for the payment of 20000rs, and when did you receive the letter.

[Torque Skylon]

Also for indigo exam, reading from the previous post, I understand that we have to be well prepared for human factors and preformance i.e principles of flight, majority of question caome from these two topics.??
And theory of nav, met and regs, is'nt it??

Nothing much from Engines right!!

please help, students who gave the dec and feb attempt!! thks in advance.!

[sonsal]

yes i got the letter to for the payment on the same day, that was wednesday and then sent the money on friday...but they dint tell me yet that my money is being recieved and the venue details.....

when did you get the call letter?

[Torque Skylon]

I got the letter on Friday evening. I did not get the other letter for payment.
On Saturday I checked the mail and replied to them and the last day to reply was Sunday i.e 20th March.
Till then no reply!!!

[Bhashan]

Just got an email from Capt. Upendranath Bharati

The Aviation knowledge test would be conducted on 28th/29th Mar' 2011 in Delhi.

Proof of payment to be sent by 23rd...

[sonsal]

what email you got?????did he sent the email regarding the venue details or just asking for payment?

[Bhashan]

Asking for payment.... the same standard email about the selection process stages and where to make the payment etc. Same as has been posted previously.

[Torque Skylon]

ok I had a question, plz rely!.
Are there any students who were invited for the exam before (like in Dec or Feb) but did not give it and again have received the letter for this coming test (i.e March)??
Please give your reply!!

I have received only 1 letter till now and I guess I may not able to give this exam ,So will they consider me again for the exam in June/July??

Skylon.

[parasite tango]

Hello all
All the people who appeared in indigo assessment test please advice do they ask questions from aircraft systems, Piston engine & Jet engine?

[thearsenal]

i just received the letter for the exam. they want me to pay the money by today i find that impossible but anyways i shall give this one a skip. there are only five days left for the assessment. they shud give us atleast 2 weeks notice ya if its not asking for too much.

[Torque Skylon]

Are there any students who were invited for the exam before (like in Dec or Feb) but did not give it and again have received the letter for this coming test (i.e March)??
Please give your REPLY!!

T Skylon.

=========
@ thearsenal that's indeed surprising!! even I have not received the 2nd letter may be I may receive today. But that's not fare they want us to make the payment immediately and they send the letter so late. I think even I will have to skip this exam. I wonder weather I will get the letter or not. :ugh:

[sonsal]

you can get the call letter for the exam later also....one of my friend who first refused to give the exam, got the call letter again....so its no big deal...

[Torque Skylon]

thanks for the reply. just asking because it took nearly 1 year for them to send me this letter. Such a long wait.

Got the 2nd letter , but its too late. Will appear next time.

wish I were to receive the letter early the way you had received it.

All the best for the exam.

[parasite tango]

I received the hall ticket for 28th march. Anyone else on 28th?

[amrit69]

hey guys, just got the call letter for the 28th as well. for all the pilots waiting, capt. UP stated that by tomorrow the rest should get them. :ok:

[amrit69]

was wondering if anyone wanted to have a group study session?

[duddysingh]

Got hall ticket for 28th assessment ..:ok:

[sonsal]

even i got the hall ticket for the 28th..
How are the studying going on guys???

[guitarboy]

hey what happens if one has 24.7 Hours as Multi Engine Hours
i.e. 10 Hours ME SIM + 14.7 Hours ME Actual = 24.7 Hours

Would one still be eligible for the CAE Indigo Program as it requires 25 hours M.E.
I mean if you round it off its actually 25 hours but then juz asking.

Thankx

[guitarboy]

Please ignore this mail if you have already appeared for the Cae-IndiGo assessment in the last six months and have not yet completed the cool off period of six months or if you did not clear the interview round(with IndiGo) at any stage or if you are A320 typerated.


^^^ does that mean that If you fail the Interview you can never apply again for the CAE Indigo Recruitment?

[Shabez]

yes...that definitely seems to be the case

[flyhigh21]

guys are exam in delhi or mumbai or both???

[hawaijahaj]

Guys do we need to study High Speed Aerodynamics for this written from oxford ??
Please Share !!:):)

[cats200]

guys any idea when would the next exam be afta 28th march....i haven't got a letter for this exam.......:ugh::ugh::ugh:

[koolchaos3188]

got information from a reliable source,
indigo is not sending pilots to madrid anymore. they are going to train in kuala lumpur now...

[thearsenal]

@koolchaos
is there any reasonbehind the change of the TR location

[Fibreglass]

Just to clear the air, does anybody know for sure why CAE is charging 20k to write the exam? Am I missing something?

[koolchaos3188]

@thearsenal - have heard that the passing rate at madrid is only 50% and at Kuala Lumpur is 90%...

[hawaijahaj]

once again...does anyone know that we have to study the high speed aerodynamics and operational procedures ??

[euindkan]

have heard that the passing rate at madrid is only 50% and at Kuala Lumpur is 90%

have heard that indigo is not happy with CAE madrid, in their last sim check in Bangalore many guys didnt perform up to the mark.
but your 50% figure is bit low.

@hawaijahaj- no high speed stuff.

[Vertigo911]

24. If you're flying through rain that freezes on impact, ...
(choose the correct one)

a) You're flying near thunderstorms
b) You're flying through a cold front
c) The freezing level would be at a higher altitude
d) Descending would make the ice go away from the airframe

I believe the answer to this is b), as freezing rain is most occasionally caused by an inversion layer, with the warm layer allowing the rain to be preserved in the liquid form, which end up being supercooled along the way to the surface and upon striking the ground turn to ice.

The cold front pushes the warm air upwards during its movement, creating an inversion layer.

Hope this helps. If I'm wrong please correct me.

[Shabez]

Calculate DA if PA at an aerodrome of elevation 4000 ft is 5000 ft.Temp on the aerodrome is 27 deg C.

Now
DA=PA+120(isa dev)
(do we have to put in the height adjustment for this temp?)( i.e. laspe rate 1.98 deg C /1000 feet) or not

i would but some of the professors notes i have dont incorporate this




ps...i always thought freezing rain was due to option a

[Shabez]

i was wondering are there any q for more than 1 marks

[bombayhues]

Shabez: All questions are equally marked (1 mark). The paper has 100 questions

[rushedyou]

@shabez
Calculate DA if PA at an aerodrome of elevation 4000 ft is 5000 ft.Temp on the aerodrome is 27 deg C.

could you explain how u worked this question?

also, freezing on impact is a sign of SCWD, which is associated with thunderstorms, but not always. the freezing level cannot be above you if u encounter SCWDs. flying through a cold front also does not mean you will encounter SCWDs, especially in the warm sector air. however, i cant imagine which option is the answer.

[cloudripper]

what is SCWD?

[bombayhues]

Super Cooled Water Droplets

[manny.sekh]

super cooled or hot!hot!hot!
u are going to the exam to make CAE rich.

[Fly Zone TRA]

Hey! does anyone here know the venue of the Indigo exam for tomorrow? I've already made my payment but still havent received the Hall Ticket! :confused::uhoh: :ugh:
Any Information would be extremely Helpful! Please.

[OzAviator]

From what I know they do it at delhi flying club. But last I heard one of my aspiring mates told me they changed the venue starting last exam. Tried calling their office? And how come your waiting for your hall ticket till Sunday night for an exam scheduled for Monday morning mate? Should've tried checkin it on Friday or something.

[awesomedude]

and posts that were awesome were deleted...anyways its not a good feel ...i cant sleep after that its a nightmare....i studied for 2 months...i know everything man..but this paper...almost seems like its made to crush everyone in its path...i am sure got 60% correct but ...i cant get the marks now can i...anyways its got something this paper that we cant see its evil....sinister ...

btw i dont think they use computer aided testing like they would like us to believe..it costs too much to implement

and it is purely heart wrenching soul shattering experience...i mean where from the pits of the underworld did they get thier questions from...i want this question bank...
no indian prof noes compare to the malicious twisted evil in that paper...i have never seen such questions...never ever they are not in oxford...they are not in any seth duggal,surinder,dosjah,gsp,ache tech pilot,jepp , online articles....it is pure evil...it is sinister...its almost like you are expected to be one of those people from chinese matrial arts movies...who can jump 4 stories up fly for 100 feet with a jump kick the ground and make a tunnel so deep that you reach america on the other end of it...rajnikanth would do number 2 in his silk underpants if he saw the paper...

i mean really guys
which one of your commanders who are online could clear that paper
INDIGO really man ...out of all the things in the world .... THAT

anyone who thinks i am exagerating ...please make me meet someone who passed this exam and please tell me what did they study out of????
i mean is just so :ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:
i dont know what to do...
its pathetic...i mean really indigo ...really... lets watch all of your pilots with the same test ....

[cloudripper]

thanks for your insight AD!
But could you please tell us what was so tough this time, too much Human Factors or too much mathematical qs?
Was the test too long?

Could you please post some questions so that we can analyse it perhaps comment on the relevant material it appeared from. This could also help you.

your input will be appreciated.

[3443 nautical miles]

please share some questions here.
and does anyone know how do they select cadidates? I mean do they call top rankers or do we have to get certain percentage to pass.

[parasite tango]

They select whosoever score above 70%.

[IFLY1990]

The exam is not so hard as exaggerated by "awesomedude". The exam can be cracked easily if u study hard enough,:ok: both theory and question banks, just study oxford theory, all the books, u will surely fail:= if you just mug up the questions.

[Fibreglass]

Am I right in assuming you passed then?

[3443 nautical miles]

@IFLY

do you know how many attempted exam this time and how many of them could pass also you have mention about question bank.... what question bank you are talking about??? I really have no idea some help would be greatly appreciated..

[dg737]

hi
150 were present in the examination in total which happened on the 28th 29th and 30th in which 13 got selected i thought they wuld keep thier 10per rules but failed this time..haha...its a good way of making money frm us unemployed pilots though our parents hard earned money bein spent...and for the beterment of their child which parents will give them money...well indigo knws it all....well the paper says 70 perc is passing but i cant digest the fact that just 13 got abve 70perc out of 150...comeon := if that was true i think they shuld reveil the marks .;).and another thing everyone knws by now that they ask frm oxford and if a person who pays 375 doll will study hard and give his best before giving the exam...well i dnt knw abt ull guys but i wont spend another 375doll scam comin my way....:ok:

[cvchetan]

i gave the exam... failed...

the thing thts makes me believe tht this is a money making scandal is that:

"IT IS HARD TO DIGEST THE FACT THAT OUTTA 150 PPL WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLEARED DGCA EXAMS, STUDIED FOR MONTHS TOGETHER (thanks to the jet exam just a month before this) ONLY 13 GET 70 % MARKS"

I mean ok, i failed( even when i was sure of remembering that atleast 70 questions i answered were correct and there was no negative marking and thus more were correct), i dont think the rest 136 pilots who gave the exam were dumb enough not to score 70 % marks...

after giving the exam 2 times now i m sure it is just a money making racket, and all u need in india to get a job is hard cash or some solid hold!!!

[cloudripper]

cvchetan, did you clear the jet exam?

If you did how different was it from Jet's? Why is it that Indigo's test seems difficult than cracking the MBA-CAT .at this rate I guess getting into the IIMs would be easier!!

Seriously buddy,please give an insight, what topics were in majority- HF? Were there IQ,Aptitude qs like in Jet's? Nav,tech stuff??

Any weird qs that you can remember?

Thanks for your inputs in advance

[flyhigh21]

how many passed tosay cause all i knw was 5 passed on monday leavin 8 for today n yesterday really curious to knw cause even i failed today n was shocked

[cvchetan]

the QP was basically divided into sections.

abt 5 regs

10-15 basic performance

15-20 hf and crm.

5 abt time

5 abt rel velocities

abt 10 frm met

10-12 from i dunno where

some numericals were there with in sufficient data..

jet exam is very easy... the ask question whose answers can be expected from 250 hr pilots.

Indigo questions cannot be answered even by the most knowledgeable commander of theirs..

jet focuses on mental ability to a much more extent..

indigo is not a selection process.. it is more a elimination process...

QP for indigo is set by indigo is set and corrected by indigo.. CAE are just invigilators of the exam and money collecting agents..

Answer papers i dont believe are computer checked... the way answers are marked cannot be checked by a computer...

[dg737]

5 passed on monday ,5 on tuesday and 3 yest....:eek:

[sonsal]

6 passed on monday...

[aadityaslg]

@cvchetan and the rest!

I have not appeared for the Indigo test, been waiting for over a year now just for the call.
But!!!

First thing that comes to my mind is, if it was a money making scam, they would certainly want more "customers".

I am not saying it is not a scam, might be, THIS IS INDIA.

I have gone through this and probably a lot of other threads and find different reactions to the test.

Some say the test is tough, but admit of not preparing enough.
Some pass and say they prepared for it.

But the people who dont get through, never ever post a single question here that they found "out of now where", "bull sh***", etc.. etc..

I appeared for the jet test, its been a month now and I can recall at least
10-15 questions that I found difficult.Not boasting of my long term memory here but you naturally spend more time on difficult ones and tend to remember those.

Now if there are 150 ppl appearing every 2 months, and just 10 active on pprune, and 7 failing the test.

We should already have a question bank of those "bogus" questions.
But we have none! In spite of other fellow pilots repeatedly requesting for it.

And @ cvchetan, you failed to answer this from Cloudripper
cvchetan, did you clear the jet exam?
Any weird qs that you can remember?

So please, even if you guys remember 1 question that was tough or which should not be asked to a 250 hr pilot, put it down here..
:ok::ok::ok::ok:

[Vertigo911]

Alright, I remember two questions that I wasn't able to answer.

1) You are at A(Equator, 59 E or something) you travel on a bearing of 225 for 100 NM, find out the coordinates of the new location.

2) To where is the information from the gyro-synchronized magnetic compass flux gate fed.
a) Heading indicator
b) Error Detector
and some other options.

Would like to know the correct answers, so if somebody knows it, please post it here.

[Vertigo911]

2 of my friends gave the indigo exam in December and they cleared it. Now they are undergoing the type rating training in Madrid.

I don't believe that all the people they select have "influence" over the process. Both my friends worked hard, studied the oxford books(read through the whole thing and understood the concepts), and were successful.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but to accuse the people who studied hard and got through of having some "influence", just because you didn't clear, isn't nice at all.

If you think its a scam don't attempt the paper and waste the money, simple. If you're confident of your knowledge and think you have a chance, go ahead write it, and if your turn has come up, you'll get it.

[cloudripper]

1) You are at A(Equator, 59 E or something) you travel on a bearing of 225 for 100 NM, find out the coordinates of the new location.

ans)
considering you are at 59E - pt.A;
travelling at 225 for 100Nm, hence an isosceles triangle of 45 degrees, with hypotenuse of 100Nm ,consider base & height equal( say 'a' )
Therefore, sqrt.root(2'a'sqr)= 100Nm
0r 2a=100Nm. hence, a= 50Nm = base

50Nm= 50minutes= .083deg

therefore, if its 59E(A), then new coordinate would be (0deg, 59-.83deg)
=(0deg, 58deg 10min 12sec) --> Ans

if it were 59W(A), Then new pt. coordiante=(0deg, 59deg49min48sec)

[LOFT]

Q 1) since you are travelling on a constant bearing of 225 for 100nm, you are following a RL track... just use the "dep= dlong . cos lat" you will get dlong=01deg 40 mins... therefore your new longitude is 57deg 20min East.

Now for the dlat you get a isoscles triangle as stated by someone above, but your dlat will be found by sin45=dlat/hypotenuse which gives dlat=100*sin45 = 70.71nm .. to get in degrees divide by 60 .. which gives dlat=01 deg 10 mins South..

So your new position is "S 01 10,E 57 20"

Q 2) answer is Error Detector... The flux valve (detector unit) sends information about the Earth’s magnetic field to the selsyn or ‘error detector’ which sends a correction signal to the amplifier.

Kindly read Keith Williams for Instruments ATPL...

GoodLuck:ok:

[awesomedude]

ok lets see now 2 on hysterisis error
combination of what all site errors adf has
topple of DGI at pole
topple/wander of DGI at somewhere else on earth
where does the wing mounted compass send its signals..amplifier/dgi etc
1 question on taf with a terrible miniature map asking you to identify the airport it applies to
CDMVT 2-3 q
bearing 2-3 q.. NDB bearing & qdm etc given
what does attitude indicator indicate after straight level flight 180 deg turn...
load factor in a turn
stall speed
stall angle
i think there was a question on what a minimum speed was (not sure)
about 20-30 numericals total ..including ones mentioned above ...speed ...direction ....new latitude of place...one on lamberts departure ... 1 on cp pnr i think....
Eustachian tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustachian_tube)
stress
REM sleep

invigilator was more of a annoyance than anything else..kept earting ure head up in a very annoying speech pattern...gave 6-7 minutes less by distributing q paper at 10:07 10:08 and collecting at 12:00 12:01

it is more of a elimination oriented exam .... you can do it if you know where to study from...which i dont...i studied all of dgca
all gsp
all other surinder....duggal seth etc...
none of them compare to this exam...i dont think its purely atpl level but its not CPL level either it is an exam which most people flying with indigo would have trouble clearing definately ...but thats not the point...point is where to study all this stuff ...the kinda question bank they have...i mean i could clear it if i had just seen those type of questions ,,as well formed and tricky as they are...but its a very well formed test...very tricky ...very nerve wrenching designed to surprise and shock you a bit ...

anyways to the guys who passed where did you study from....what question banks did you use ...cause with the cpl kinda prep one wont get above 50 i had prepared better but i guess it wasnt enough so please tell me what do i need to do over here...cause i really did study and it was quite dissappointing...but i have the will ..but i need to know what to study the regualr cpl stuff +ace tech+ oxford for human performance + google
isnt cutting it..

and oh please remember to thank me for posting these and the ones who gave the test please refine these if you actually remember the actual questions...

To all those who passed..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME...how the :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: did you do it?From where did you study?Please tell ...

ALSO if anyone knows...are there any indigo specific question banks any jet specific question banks etc i might be able to procure from anyplace...

[Vertigo911]

I did go about the problem in the same method you posted, during the exam, however, the options given for the first question I posted were, Lat : 1 deg 28 S or 1 deg 31 S, and the other two in Northern hemisphere with same values.

Thanks for the answer to the second question, I had a feeling it would be that, I guessed right :).

[aadityaslg]

see.. wasn't that simple..

A few sensible people posting the questions!! How difficult was it?

Newaz,

I knew the logic behind the 1st question, and would have been able to solve it after preparing "so hard for the test"

And the second questions relates to the RIC "remote indicating compass.

Time for other guys to post some more questions!

Hey guys

DGCA issues stricter rules for hiring of co-pilots | Aviation India: Careers (http://www.indianaviationnews.net/careers/2011/03/dgca-issues-stricter-rules-for-hiring-of-co-pilots.html)

I know this is outa context but i had to put it up. Go through it and please lets every1 here know if u have an idea abt it.

" If a CPL licence holder does not fly for two years, the licence stands cancelled automatically.":ugh::ugh::ugh:

Does this apply to we guys already having indian licenses or for the new comers??:confused::confused::confused:

[aadityaslg]

@ MIR - can you please stop posting this in every thread in this forum??
open the DGCA website and check out the Regulation if in doubt! how hard is it?

[awesomedude]

dint see anything on the new and updated in dgca about it

[THE MIR]

Dude this is a very vital piece of info for freshers who hve been looking for a job for more than 2 years now. Hot shots lik u might not find it important. So u can ignore the post and carry on wth ur stuff!!

And thnks for the suggestion regarding checking the DGCA web site. :ok:

[yuhoo88]

@ THE MIR...I cudn find it in DGCA website...can u help me out..:ugh:

[aadityaslg]

@ MIR - thanks I will take that as a compliment.

Now can you please get your self a thread?
You are more likely to get more help and inputs when you do that.
People following this thread are looking for info only realated to "Indigo Recruitment".
They might follow you if you come up with another thread, but here you will most likely piss them off.

That stands for your post in the "JET AIRWAYS thread too"


BTW: My latest flight was on the " 27th of June 2009"

they have not mentioned the payment details in the email, so i dont have a clue about that. Regarding the questions, i think i wont be in a position to speculate on the pattern of the exam since this will be my first attempt, but would be glad to help after i write the exam(if a get a chance)

[bombayhues]

The dates mentioned are only for the first round (the written exam). People who pass the writtens are subsequently informed of the dates for the next round.

No. Mental ability or comprehension is not tested unlike the Jet Airways exam.
