WPC Indian RTR A Exam Schedule 2014
 

The WPC has published the RTR license exam schedule for the year 2014

Here is the official link
http://www.wpc.dot.gov.in/docfiles/R...heYear2014.pdf

If for some reason the above link does not work I have uploaded another copy here

http://www.scribd.com/doc/193283226/...dule-Year-2014

Some Important tips

1. While the exam dates are tentative the last dates for online filing and sending hard copy are strictly adhered to unless mentioned explicitly on the WPC website
After online filing the hard copy has to reach within the 7 days . So please make sure prior to applying online you have all the documentation ready

2. For the Hyderabad attempt 2013 the WPC after applying online told candidates that the last day for hard copy was 23rd of december instead of 22nd November . This was a huge error on their part which resulted in a large number of candidates being rejected
***BE CAREFUL***
Irrespective of what they say the hard copy should reach within 7 days after applying online

3. DD should be taken from SBI bank only

4.. Apply for the next attempt before the results of the current attempt is published . Otherwise you might unnecessarily miss the next attempt .

5.. Dont waste time till the last day to apply online or for printing the admit card . Quite often the website has been reported to be not working the day before the exam or before the last date to apply

Last year's thread contains a wealth of information and answers to most questions can be found here
http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...le-2013-a.html

So prior to asking questions please the read the above thread

i recommend all Indian pilots to get the RTR A license after passing part 1 and part 2 with lifetime validity because once you have to have it then you can forget about it till the day you retire
RTR P and C renewals can be a pain depending upon the country of foreign RT /CPL

Thanks
 

Thanks a lot cyril. Really appreciate your time and effort on this forum regarding RTR

RTR C
 

Hello Cyril,
I have RTR (C) its expiring next year. I have given Part 1 exam in 2008. My Foreign RT is expiring next year. I have 30hrs in last 3yrs. I have few questions
1)Can I renew it for life time?
2)Do i have to give any exam?
3)Do i have to get RTR(A)?
Would appreciate if you tell me about the best option possible, apart from renewal of foreign licence
Thanks

@nikz87

Sorry for the late reply . I seem to have missed it

Anyway in order to renew the RTR C your foreign RT has to be valid . You can use the 30 hours to skip the part 1 exam
Your new RTR C license will be valid till the validity of the renewed foreign RT

1. RTR C licenses cannot be renewed for life . Max validity will be 20 years

2. Since you have 30 hours in the last 3 years you can skip the exam ( but your foreign RT has to be renewed )

3. Its not compulsory to get an RTR A license
But I strongly suggest you do after taking the necessary coaching . That way you can get an RT license valid for life and never have to worry about visiting the WPC ever again in your life . You can also let your foreign RT lapse as well

The admit card for the Mumbai attempt is out now

Please save the admit card at the earliest
At times it has been reported that the WPC website not to be working the day before the exam

So save a copy of it now and all the best :ok:

hello all ,

Can a particular candidates exam date be shifted to an earlier/later date due to legit reasons ? Does the WPC have a provision for that ?


Thanks,
CBS

The application window for the New Delhi RT attempt is now open

The last date to apply online is 14th of March and last date for them to receive the hard copy is 21st March

Please dont wait till the last date to apply online as the WPC website can be quite un reliable at times

Same way please send them the hard copy at the earliest irrespective of what it might say on the application Confirmation form ( in the hyderabad attempt they said 23 December instead of 22 November as published originally )

The WPC adheres to the original schedule they publish when it comes to last dates
Only the exam dates are tentative

RT classes for April attempt
 

I wanted to know who takes RT classes in hyderabad, or anyone from hyderabad who could share the latest RT notes and mock question paper also would be a help.

Thanks a lot for the information Cyril.

RTR (A) renewal
 

Hi Cyril.

Thank you for your detailed explanation in all your posts. I have a question of my own though. I hope you can help me out here.

I have an RTR (A) licence which expired this March and I was unable to give the exams as I am working elsewhere at the moment and I wish to renew my licence. Would you be able to tell me if there is any time frame to give the renewal exam? Also, is the renewal exam compulsory and lastly, how can I make it lifetime?

I appreciate your help

Thanks!

@colind29

Apologies for the late reply

If you have 30 hours of flying experience within the last 3 years (I keep hearing that within 5 years is allowed as well ) then you can renew directly by paying the 10,000 rupees DD and you will get renewed for lifetime


If you dont meet the flying experience requirements then you need to pass
part 1 ( only ) again .You can then renew it for lifetime by paying the 10,000 rupees DD

I am not sure for how long after expiry will they accept either one of the 2 requirements given above but someone once mentioned to me that its 2 years
You can clear that up if you can visit the nearest WPC office

You also have to pay a late fee in addition to the 10,000 rupees which is 2% of the DD fee for every month . So for 10,000 rupees that amounts to 200 rupees per month after expiry

RTR A license can only be renewed from the same RLO that issued the original license

The application window for the Chennai attempt is now open . Last date to apply online is 16th May 2014 and last date for hard copy to reach them is 23rd May 2014

As usual please dont wait till the last date to apply online because the WPC website is not very reliable

Congrats to all those that passed the Delhi attempt

RTR Chennai Attempt June/July - 2014
 

Hey Cyril,

Need some clarification. I'm about 90% sure i passed part two in chennai (24th June)...just need to wait until the results are out to confirm. Wanted to know what other docs apart from the Annex 1A i need to submit to get my RTR. Do i need to give them a copy of the result list (my name highlighted), admit card, birth certs etc? Hows the job hunt going btw? Any luck with Jet?

hope to hear from you soon,

K.O.

I am going to write a checklist here which everyone can use to apply for the RTR A license ( initial issue )

1. Annex 1 A - It would nice if you type it up and take a printout instead of filling in pen ( dont forget to tick lifetime validity )

2. Printout of the result page and highlight your name

3. DD of 10,000 rupees from SBI (only) taken in the name of the same WPC office you passed the RTR A exam . On the back of the DD write you name , date of birth , exam roll number , month , year and city in which you gave the attempt

4. Gazetted officer attested date of birth certificate
or
Gazetted office attested copy of 10th Marksheet showing name and date of birth is also acceptable

5. Every result page has an UNDERTAKING . Sign the 1st option if you dont hold an RTR P
If you hold an RTR P then sign the second option and surrender the RTR P as well

6. Two photographs ( a third to be stuck on Annex 1 A ) with your name imprinted under the photograph ( a photo studio can do this for you )
Put them in small envelope and mark photographs

7. Self Addressed and Stamped Envelope . Use Rs 100/- (50 is too small an amount these days ) worth of stamps
On the envelop write FROM address as that of the WPC office
And TO address as your address

Under the Stamps write - " PLEASE SEND BY SPEED POST " or " PLEASE SEND BY REGISTERED POST "

That way the post office will ensure its send by that particular service . I believe they have a rule that if you write REGISTERED anywhere on the envelope then they have to send it by registered post

Use a good quality envelope preferably the courier type

8. And lastly write a nice a neat cover letter addressed to the Assistant wireless advisor ( and the rest of the address given in the result page ) requesting to issue the WPC RTR A license at the earliest
Mention the list of documents / attachments you are sending as part of your application



P.S : If you are submitting in person then take a copy of the signed cover letter and get a RECEIVED stamp as proof of submission

If you are sending by post/courier please send by SPEED POST or REGISTERED POST of India Post . You can track the application online on their website and keep the SLIP safe . Once it shows on the website that it has been delivered , take a screen shot or printout of the same .
Keep the slip and this printout as proof of delivery until the day you actually receive the RTR A license in hand
Please dont use private courier services when dealing with govt offices

Thanks
 

I knew you'd have the answer! Thanks a lot. I'll get right on that :ok:

kolkata atempt date has passes mesg displayed
 

i want apply for RTR(A) exam this kolkata.
according to the list displayed last date of online submission is 18 july, but while applying for online date has passed mesg displays. please advice.
also i want to book my railway tickets for kolkata. so anybody please post the exam center address, where exam for kolkata generally held. and also the confirmed date of the exam.

thank you
regards,
Ameya

@Ameya


Just like the DGCA the application for the RTR exam can only be applied for within a particular application window period
The application window for the Kolkota attempt is not yet open . Application windows usually open 2 weeks before the last date . So I am guessing since the last date to apply online is 18th July the application window should open by the 1st week of July

The only way to know when it opens is to visit their website every day

The address for the Kolkota exam is the same place where you send the hard copy . Its given in the original schedule for the exam a link of which is given in the first post of this thread

You are going to face some difficulty in booking railway tickets . Nobody knows what the confirmed dates are for the exam and everyone receives different dates
Sometimes they only release the admit cards a few days before the exam starts
The tentative date for Kolkota attempt as per the schedule is 25th August but you will only know the exact date allotted to you when you get the admit card
