Cool Off to be reduced
 

When they gave the result they said that they will reduce the cool off period.. I dont know to how much, but they will update it on the site.

So, keep a look out..!! :ok:

@aadityaslg
 

I dont think there is GD for Indigo... thats why i came here, otherwise would have got selected in Jet in Sept 2010

There is a GD for indigo. Happens on the day of the interview. But it is not as intensive as Jet airways GD I believe.

@ ShivamSaxena - so you did not get through the jet GD. Well I am still waiting for the jet gd dates..



Lets say they pass a total of 20 guys in the written test.
So how many do you think, make it through the GD and Interview in Indigo?

that is amazing if they can cut of the cool of period , nothing better than that

Cool-off Period
 

I believe the cool-off period is being reduced to 3 months :)

Looks like now they are running out of candidates, i think they should also reduce the examination fee.

yup thats what happened this time they were supposed to have it over 5 days but not enough candidates so they had it over only two days. hence the reduction of the cool off period

Is this news confirmed about the cool off period..??

yes it has been reduced to 3 months
confirmed!!!!!!!!!

@sonsal : please check ur PM

@ Sonsal, Shivam- Thanks for the Question Bank and inputs pertaining to the test.

For all those who've appeared for the 6E exam,

1. Is there negative marking? What is the pass percentage?

2. Has anyone come across questions pertaining to Compass Swinging in the exam?

3. According to JAR standards, Aircraft's are classified into Class A, B and C, depending on the performance, seating capacity/MTOW. Has anyone come across questions specific to the above mentioned 3 classes or just general performance?

Please check your PM.

CAE has themselves come up with the new rule saying that the cool off period is now 3 months instead of 6. It was confirmed by Parul and Capt.Upendra or something.

@ sonsal:

buddy, thanks for the email.

by the way ,under Navigation; what do you reckon about the numerical problems of 'Bearing to Plot' sums on Mercators,Lamberts.. they're a bit complex ?

even the Lat-nut problems ??

Ok so i cleared the indigo assessment and was issued the LOI yesterday:O:O....to start off let me tell you fellows that the assessment is 500% genuine:ok: and definetely not an eye wash as people claim it to be...all the guys including me belong to middle class families and have no connections or overflowing bank balances to jack it on to a 320 ....have faith take my word its the most professional airline in india and is making a genuine effort to hie the best people it can get its hand on....and in this place of never ending scams its the best hope for all of you who have no money nor connections but a fire in them to achieve success who are hard working and passionate.....dont lose hope work hard and success will follow....

the process stated in march with the written test ,all of you are familiar with what kind of questions are asked ,go through the oxford ATPL books thoroughly no shortcuts here its the only thing that will get you through ,,dgca syllabus doesnt work here and if you want to clear the paper go through oxford books ..main emphasis on Principles of flight and human performance ,radio and gen nav are also imp ...Indian air law notes shall suffice for the regulations part....a lot of numericals are being asked these days learn how to crack them...CX2 and calculators are allowed so its just about knowing the formula and running your brain....what i did was i completed the paper and then attempted the numericals it worked for me plan your own strategy .....100 questions 2 hours....keep a tab on your time dont get stuck in a question for too long........after the written the result is declared the same day normally 3-6 guys out of 50-60 clear...its the biggest hurdle to cross for now focus on the written worry about the next parts later on....

If you are knowledgeable enough to clear the written you will start the part 2 of the process....this part is conducted by CAE with the help of symbiotics ltd a Uk based company which specialises in mapping your brain gathering everything about you and attempts to know how your brain works ....you first go through a questionnaire asking how you react to certain things and what are your views on certain things ......Second part is CASS its the mofo designed to push you to the limits you have to fly a fast military A/C with a non trimmable joystick ...small inputs produce big reactions .....simultaneously hundreds of questions are thrown at you.....other A/c cross your path things appear out of nowhere and you have to respond to all of this simultaneously answer these pretty hard questions of spatial,numerical and other kinds of resoning questions stoop questions are also abundant....the examiner all this while will try to distract you with her chit chat and noises....be calm respond to things in the best way you can and please dont crash the plane ,its quite easy to do it in such an environment ....you will have to remember things you heard earlier and recall this later on .....all in all its a very challenging this and will push you to your limits and you will feel very dejected afterwards ...dont be the examiner is trying to spot this kind of behaviour......many candidates break up in CASS ,dont,keep your spirits high there is no way to do this perfectly ...i was not able to answer half the questions even lost my bearing...the important thing is to bounce back and complete the task......

There is an english test is easy enough no prep required.....
After you finish with this all your data is analysed by the ADAPT team and a report is prepared on you...

After this very tiring day you wait for the interview call.....everyone is called
first two rounds of GD are conducted by the Indigo panel ,two v.p and the chief pilot....its quite friendly and laid back....all are very good people and very professional.....keep your points ,dont fight be courteous ,let others speak and keep all your points....agree with the majority if time is low but keep your reservations......
In the personal interview you are asked mostly HR questions and is quite laid back...but dont show any unprofessionalism ....some weather and jepp charts questions were asked of me by the chief pilot......the interview lasted almost 20 minutes

result will be declared soon after the interview ....keep you fingers crossed

Good post by flybylight23. I completely agree with what he/she has said. I too cleared the selection process and felt that the entire process was extremely professional and created specifically to hire the best candidates.

The experiences faced by flybylight23 during the process are exactly what I faced as well. The written exam can only be cleared by studying hard and having an adequate knowledge about all the aviation subjects. The CASS does make you feel extremely discouraged after you have completed it.

The group discussion was a very good experience for me, as was the interview. Like the poster mentioned it is very very important to display professionalism; you are applying for a job and you need to realize the seriousness of it. However the interviewers try and make you feel as comfortable as possible, and it helps you answer their questions better.

Do not go looking for conspiracies and waste your time and energy. This interview process has confirmed my belief that sincere hard work, a positive attitude and shear effort are the only things that pay.

Congrats to all those who have cleared, however, I would like to advise that its not over yet, and whats coming next will require more determination and sincere effort, so keep up the good work.
