DGCA Ground Classes
in Bangalore.
Six DGCA theory papers, taught exam-first by mentors who have actually flown the aircraft — not a coaching-class model. Small batches, one classroom, one plan through to your CPL exams.
Ground classes are not a box to tick before flying training — they are the foundation your entire CPL timeline is built on. Weak ground school means repeat DGCA exam attempts, and every repeat attempt costs months. This page covers exactly what our DGCA ground classes in Bangalore include, who teaches them, and how they fit into the full CPL pathway.
Six Subjects. Taught Exam-First.
DGCA requires six theory papers before you're eligible to sit your CPL flight test. Each is taught as a standalone subject at our Kalyan Nagar centre, with a minimum 70% required to pass:
| Subject | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Air Navigation | Chart reading, dead reckoning, radio navigation aids, flight planning, time and fuel calculations |
| Aviation Meteorology | Weather systems, cloud hazards, METAR/TAF decoding, wind, turbulence, icing |
| Air Regulations | Aircraft Act 1934, Aircraft Rules 1937, DGCA CARs, ICAO annexes, airspace classification |
| Technical General | Aerodynamics, aircraft systems, engine theory, instruments, propeller theory |
| Technical Specific | Systems, POH, performance charts and emergency procedures for your training aircraft type |
| RTR (Aeronautical) | Radio communication, ICAO phraseology, ATC procedures, emergency calls — written exam plus oral viva |
Not Coaching Classes.
A Mentorship Model.
Most DGCA ground classes in Bangalore are taught by instructors who have never operated a commercial aircraft. Ours are led by Gp Capt Saideep Lall (Retd.), an IAF experimental test pilot with 4,000+ hours across 13 aircraft types, and Capt Vidhi Sharma, an active Airbus A320 captain with 10,000+ hours. Every subject is taught with the operational context of a pilot who has actually used it — not just the syllabus.

Ground school here comes with a digital stack we built ourselves: a proprietary CPL question bank of 8,798 DGCA-style questions with worked solutions across 202 chapters and all 5 subjects, an advanced RTR(A) push-to-talk practice simulator — 281 voice drills and 60 timed Part B mock exams, one of very few built by any academy in India — and a structured Moodle LMS carrying chapter-wise textbooks, revision notes, video lessons and weekly progress tests. See the full stack on our training technology overview.
Eligibility & Fees
Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics is the standard entry point. Commerce and Arts students can qualify through NIOS — see our complete NIOS guide if that applies to you. DGCA ground school fees typically run ₹80,000–₹2,00,000 depending on format and inclusions; our full cost guide breaks down every rupee of the CPL pathway beyond ground school as well.
Ground classes are Stage 1 of our Integrated Pilot Mentorship Program — roughly 4 months in Bengaluru, followed by flying training abroad and DGCA licence conversion on return. If you're evaluating ground classes in isolation, see our guide on choosing the right CPL ground classes in India for the seven criteria that actually matter. Cadets on the flagship pathway can also pursue a UGC-recognised B.Sc in Hospitality & Aviation Management from Lingaya's Vidyapeeth in parallel with CPL training — a full university degree alongside the licence.
