Common Mistakes to Avoid

Visiting a non-approved doctor

Always verify the doctor is DGCA-approved before booking your appointment to avoid rejection of your medical certificate.

Not carrying original documents

Bring all original identity and educational documents as photocopies are not accepted during the medical examination.

Skipping specialist reports if you have medical history

If you have any medical conditions, obtain specialist clearance reports beforehand to avoid delays in the process.

Waiting too late to begin the process

Start your medical process early as it can take several weeks to complete, especially if additional tests are required.

Not following up for file number tracking

Regularly track your medical file status and follow up with DGCA to ensure timely processing of your application.
