Time Frame For Recruitment
 

Greetings Everyone,

Could anybody shed some light on how long will the entire procedure of written, Psychometry, IQ, Group discussion and interview take?

When would anyone know if they have been selected?
What happened in the previous recruitment? how long did it take?
Besides does the LOI garuntee a job after type rating or another "kingfisher" could happen here too?

Thanks

@dragstar
Thank u soo much....:)

any mail on the venue and date guys?

Negative!!!!!

@ ZeeZoo

no ... a letter of intent doesnt give u a job guarantee ...

it merely states their intention to hire you ...

cant say another KF might not happen ...

but if it does, it'll be on a very smalll scale

and u might get a mail early nxt week ... it takes bout a week to process all the applications ...

a friend of mine who appeared for the april attempt told me this ...

hope this helps ... cheers :ok:

.
 

Were calculators and CX2 allowed in the previous attempts.

And what about topics like- EFIS, inertial navigation, ADC . do they touch these ones too

@bleedthesky..

Thanks a lot... could you also find out as to how much time the whole process from written.. to the end of interview results take..

say if written was conducted today.. and one clears all rounds and the interview... when would u know u've made it.. time frame...?

Blue Skys!!

anyone dates and venue confirmation out as yet??

Time Frame
 

@ ZeeZoo: The last batch had their written exam on the 19th/20th of July and where told of the final results, post interviews, on the 15th of Sept. As for the batch before that. They had their written on the 2/3rd of June and were told the final results on the 9th of July.

Hope that helps

@bombayhues..

So do u mean to say that it'll take more than a month to know whether u've made it or not...

Do u guys realise that in such a case, one does not start training before march.. because of slot availability and blah blah blah and doesnt finish before april end.. so you wont "join" before May and lets not even talk about getting online...

God Bless Us Everyone!!

so .....

did anyone get a hall ticket and a date yet???

@bleedthesky

no hall ticket as of now.

@ZeeZoo
The 2nd/3rd June batch finished their type rating last month but haven't signed employment letters till now.
and the 19th/20th July batch will be leaving for type rating next week.

So it could take anywhere between 2-4 months for you to know if you've made the cut. another 1-2 months for you to leave for type rating.
Looking at almost a year till you get online. The time line could change depending on Indigo's urgency to hire.

anyone who has gone through CAE - Indigo and got into Indigo? Personally i havnt come across anyone who has gone through CAE- Indigo and joined Indigo i know a guy who went to CAE by himself and is now flying with Indigo. The CAE indigo people who have come back are still waiting and these were the june batch i suppose and the next batch is yet to go for the TR. I don no if there are already people in the tube why is Indigo - CAE coming up with another test. Any info from insiders would help..

I guess they are getting them ready for the delivery of 16 a/c between now and end of 2011. and they have short listed 15 international destinations it wants to connect, including Dubai, Bangkok, Singapore, Kathmandu, Jeddah, the Maldives, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

Pilots who have submitted application to DGCA for conversion, need to submit copy of the application form.

Din know that they were entertaining pilots for the written test, who are not in possession of Indian License.

Not discouraging anyone, i would srsly advise only ppl who hav contacts to go through the CAE thingie and spend $30,000 + . Rather than this get a A-320 somewhere else and apply...(at least you will save time)

I am also told (rumor) tht only people with some contacts are being called for the test. That is the reason there is such a hue and cry because a lot of people haven't even got the call....

Well wouldn't totally agree with u.. but its evident ht obviously people with contacts will always have an advantage over the ones that don't.

Imagine the condition of the Airlines, they are constantly being called by the big honchos and politicians, asking them to favor their candidate and select him/her and its not just limited to cockpit cew.. The airlines also have no other way but to listen to them cause in the future they would need the same person for their benefit, so its kinda give and take!!! cant help it..

Got the mail for the test.....I just hope everything is Fair And Square.. :(

guys...pls do post questions after the test to help the others who are taking them in the following attempts!!
would be much appreciated!

My hall ticket says-

Date: 23rd Dec,2010 Reporting Time: 9:30 AM
Exam Time: 10:00AM to 12:00 AM
Venue: The Parkland, Kalkaji

Anyone else taking the exam at the same time?
It would be really nice of people taking the exam on the 20th -22nd to post questions or topics. would be great help.

Has anyone here got call letter with IR lapsed..?

hey , I received a letter on 14th regarding the exam on 21st then again i received a mail from radhikah that, plz ignore the previous mail and wait for the next.

then again after 2 hours, i received another hall ticket- same date same venue....ditto as previous.

does anybody over here with the same experience.

Yes if u read the line where she asks for all the documents that are to brought, u would notice that initially they allowed even those guys who had submitted their docs for conversion, but now they have removed that line and your license is required on the day.

@Scoobydon

Both letters are not the same. The below mentioned line has been removed from the second letter.
Pilots who have submitted application to DGCA for conversion, need to submit copy of the application form.

anybody got it on 20th??

nope, 21st here too!

It seems the post has been withdrawn but somebody requested answers for q's posted by vasu on page 6:

@LOFT

Reply needed ASAP!
 

Are calculators and cx-2 allowed for the exams?

Reply needed ASAP!

Guys please no backwaas talks on the reply!

Regards!

The hall ticket no where mentions calculators or CX-2's, so I guess they are allowed. In the previous assessments people did carry calculators with them.

Thanks dragster!!

YEs they are
 

I am sure that Cx2 and calci are allowed...guys plz post questions after the exam..!!Cheers
All the BEST>>!!!

Nobody here with questions frm today's exam?

Heard 4 guys cleared today.

Indigo Exam on 20th
 

4 candidates cleared on 20th.

Pattern of the exam on 20th:

1) Human Performance = 12-15 ques.
2) Theory of Flight = Lot of questions of difficult standard.
3) Met = 5-6 ques
3) Regs = 8-10 ques
4) Flight Instruments = Around 10.
5) Radio aids = 10-12
6) Gen. Nav = Around 20


Met --> Met ques were not easy and they were based on JAA.
Eg. Mountain wave, Polar air mass, Freezing fog etc.

Regs --> Easy.
Eg. Transponder Codes, Airport signs, Interception signals.

Human Performance --> In-Depth Knowledge reqd.

Flight Instruments + Radio Aids --> ques were simple.
