Best DGCA Question Banks in India (2026): 8 Platforms Compared

Eight platforms, six use cases, every competitor figure read from their own public pages on 8 September 2026.

Ready Aviator publishes this page and Ready Aviator is one of the eight platforms on it, so read it knowing that. Every entry is written to the same six fields and links out to the platform's own site, including the seven that are not ours.

How this page is made

Read the method before you read a conclusion.

Every statement about another platform here was read from their own public pages, fetched anonymously, without signing in or registering anywhere, on 8 September 2026. Each entry links to the site it describes and the text of every page we read is stored with the date, so a claim can be checked later. Where a platform prints no price the entry says "No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)" and stops, and where a capability is simply not described on their pages we say that rather than saying they do not have it. None of these banks is readable without an account, so nothing on this page says anything about the quality of anybody's questions, including a comparison of ours against theirs.

The entries are in alphabetical order rather than ranked, and the opinions live in the six use cases below, each tied to a stated criterion you are free to disagree with. We recheck quarterly. If something here is wrong or out of date, write to hello@readyaviator.com.

Pick by what you need

Six questions students actually arrive with. Four of the six are answered with somebody else's product.

Best free option: Docpilot

Criterion: the most you can use without paying anything. Docpilot's whole bank opens on a free registration and free is the proposition rather than a tier of it. PilotSphere is the close second and arguably the better free account, because it gives away nearly eleven thousand questions, mock tests in seven subjects and three RTR voice attempts, but it asks you to register too. If you would rather not register at all, we are the only one of the eight that shows you five questions of every chapter with the answer and no account, and that is a sample rather than a bank.

Best for worked solutions: Ready Aviator

Criterion: can you read the working, and can you check it before you pay. This is our own page, so treat this pick as the interested one and go and look: five questions of every chapter are public with no account, whole chapters open free with their solutions, and the Air Navigation calculation chapters animate the working. Every other platform here says its questions carry explanations and every one of them sits behind an account, so nobody's claim on this can be checked from outside, including ours until you open it.

Best if you also need aptitude tests: PilotSphere

Criterion: practice for the specific screening batteries Indian airlines use. PilotSphere is the only one of the eight that publishes ADAPT, COMPASS and Aon cut-e practice, sold as yearly bundles from Rs 599 to Rs 1,999. eATPL lists a pilot aptitude test page and an Airbus simulator in its navigation, and AvioQuiz sells airline interview and ATPL viva banks, which are interview preparation rather than aptitude testing. We do not offer aptitude simulators at all and are not building them.

Best for RTR: PilotSphere

Criterion: both parts covered, and how much of it you can try before paying. PilotSphere gives 1,355 RTR Part 1 questions free with an account and three free attempts at a Part 2 voice simulator with 127 scenarios, then charges Rs 499.97 for ten attempts. Ours is the other shape: a phraseology library and worked calls that are free and need no account, a Part 1 bank with worked solutions, and the voice simulator on the paid plans. MyCPL describes RTR(A) headset simulations from home. Nothing on the Docpilot, Epilot, AvioQuiz or Golden Epaulettes pages we read describes RTR at all.

Best on a tight budget: AvioQuiz

Criterion: the least you can pay and still get a full bank with its explanations through an exam cycle. AvioQuiz Pro is INR 299 for sixty days as a single payment with nothing renewing, which covers most of a run-up. Epilot Basic at Rs 199 is the lowest single month here if your paper is four weeks away, but it renews until you cancel it. If your budget is genuinely zero, this is not your question and the free row above is.

Best for a mobile app: none of the eight

Criterion: an installable app that holds the question bank and works without a connection. On the pages we read, none of the eight has one. Docpilot advertises offline access and progress sync with an App Store badge marked Soon. MyCPL ships real apps on Android and iOS, but they are the CX-3 flight computer and a scientific calculator rather than the bank. Golden Epaulettes describes itself as fully responsive, which is a web app. We have no app, no offline mode and nothing announced. Every one of these is a website you open in a browser, so pick on what is inside it.

AvioQuiz

Who it is for
Candidates working towards an A320 type rating or an airline selection round as well as the DGCA papers, who want the widest technical spread for the least money.
What it covers
Fourteen subjects, thirteen of which print a question count on the homepage, adding up to 7,909. A320 systems by ATA chapter and A320 procedures, Gen Nav, Radio Navigation, Instrumentation, Principles of Flight, Air Regulations, Airframes, Electrics, Powerplant, Performance, Meteorology, Technical Specific and a Previous DGCA Papers section.

Price
Free at INR 0, and Pro at INR 299 for 60 days, stated on their pricing page as a one-time payment with no subscription.
One strength
The cheapest full bank with explanations in this list, and the only one that also covers A320 type-rating systems and airline interview preparation.
One limitation
Their terms state that all payments are final and non-refundable. Nothing on their public pages describes RTR Part 1 or Part 2.

Docpilot

Who it is for
Students whose budget today is nothing, who will happily register once, and who want the largest free pile of DGCA questions they can get.
What it covers
Their homepage states "1000+ practice questions" and sells mock tests. Their subjects page lists nine: Meteorology, Instrument Navigation, Radio Navigation, Performance, Technical General, General Navigation, Practice Books, a navigation FAQ set and Regulation New.
Price
No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)
One strength
Free is the whole proposition rather than a tier of it: their title, their H1 and their body copy all lead on the word, and registration rather than payment is the gate.
One limitation
Their own homepage title still reads DGCA Question Bank 2025, their published figure is a floor rather than a count, and nothing is readable at all before you hand over an email address.

eATPL

Who it is for
Students working from the ATPL textbooks by name, who want banks filed by source and by airline written paper rather than by DGCA subject.
What it covers
Their navigation lists Instruments, Radio Navigation, Performance, Meteorology, Technical, Navigation, an ATPL question bank, an IndiGo question bank, banks named for their source textbooks, Regulations, interview material, an IndiGo JFO syllabus, aircraft specific, mass and balance, previous-attempt DGCA papers, previous airline written papers, an Airbus 320 section, a syllabus, a pilot aptitude test and an Airbus simulator.
Price
No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)
One strength
The widest set of named sections in this list, including previous airline written papers and a pilot aptitude test, on a site that has been running since 2022.
One limitation
Everything is behind a login and no price appears anywhere, so the navigation is the entire public surface and you cannot see what you would be paying for before you pay for it.
Their site
eatpl.in

Epilot

Who it is for
Students who want the largest possible pile of DGCA questions to drill and are comfortable renting access month by month.
What it covers
Six subject banks, listed on their question bank page as Air Navigation 5,765, Technical General 4,635, Performance 1,685, Meteorology 1,502, Air Regulations 1,375 and an IndiGo bank of 344. Full-length timed mock exams, an Exam Ready mastery system that returns missed questions on a schedule, and courses their own page marks as still in build.
Price
Free, then Basic at Rs 199 a month or Rs 1,999 a year, and Pro at Rs 299 a month or Rs 2,499 a year. Their block also prints a one-time figure beside each, Rs 1,499 and Rs 4,999.
One strength
The largest published bank in this list and the only one with a spaced-repetition mastery system, at the lowest monthly entry price of any paid plan here.
One limitation
Their own pages print three different totals for the bank on the same day, 22,080, 25,000+ and 15,306+, and the plans renew until you cancel rather than ending by themselves.

Golden Epaulettes CPL ATPL Question Bank

Who it is for
Students who want a bank attached to a real Delhi ground school, and who may want the classes as well as the questions.
What it covers
Their home page states 15,294+ questions under the label CPL / ATPL, filed into eighteen categories rather than DGCA papers, each with a quiz count: Air Regulations 48, Radio Navigation 41, General Navigation 23 and fifteen more. The school behind it sells live DGCA ground classes, RTR(A), simulator and cadet classes in Delhi.
Price
No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)
One strength
The largest published question figure of any bank in this list, and the only one with a physical ground school behind it that you can walk into.
One limitation
Nothing is readable before you create an account, no price appears on either of their domains including for the classes, and their pages describe no DGCA past papers by sitting.

MyCPL

Who it is for
Students who need the things around the exam as much as the exam: a CX-3 to rent, a computer number, a medical appointment, a school to pick.
What it covers
Question banks and study material for six subjects, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Air Regulation, Technical General, Technical Specific and RTR(A). Alongside them a CX-3 rental service, an online and Android CX-3, scientific calculators for Android and iOS, DGCA computer number and Class 1 and Class 2 medical assistance, flying-school guidance and airline careers and cadet links.
Price
No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)
One strength
Nobody else in this list rents you a CX-3 or helps with a computer number and a medical, and their own copy describes RTR(A) headset test simulations you can take from home.
One limitation
The subject pages ask you to log in before showing anything, no price for the bank is published, and the rental figures are calculated inside the booking form rather than printed, with units marked out of stock on the day we looked.

mycpl.in

PilotSphere

Who it is for

One strength

One limitation
Their refund policy states that "All purchases made on PilotSphere are non-refundable", with exceptions only for a duplicate payment or a billing error raised within 48 hours.

Ready Aviator

Our own site, and one entry of eight.

Who it is for
Students who keep losing the same marks on the same calculations and need to see where the working breaks, rather than which letter was right.
What it covers
Every DGCA CPL subject with a worked solution behind each question, animated solutions on the Air Navigation calculation chapters, a narrated Air Navigation course that is free with an account, DGCA past papers laid out one sitting at a time, timed mock tests with a report that names the chapters you lost marks in, RTR Part 1 and Part 2 with a free phraseology library and a paid voice simulator, and free public calculators.
Price
Prep · 1 month, ₹1,499 (₹1,499 a month). Pro · 3 months, ₹2,999 (₹1,000 a month). One time, nothing renews, and a full refund on request within 7 days. Five questions of every chapter, and whole free chapters, cost nothing.
One strength
Five questions of every chapter are readable with no account, no email address and no card, so the working can be judged before anything is paid, and the solutions are the product rather than a feature of it.
One limitation
The bank is smaller than the four largest here, the animated solutions and the finished course are Air Navigation only, and there is no mobile app and no offline mode.

Questions about this page

Which is the best DGCA question bank in India?

There is no single answer, which is why this page is organised by use case rather than as a ranking. Docpilot opens the most for nothing, PilotSphere gives away the largest free bank and is the only one with airline aptitude practice, Epilot publishes the biggest bank overall, AvioQuiz is the cheapest paid bank with explanations, and Ready Aviator, which is us, sells the working behind the answer. Read the six sections above and pick the one whose criterion is your criterion.

Is Ready Aviator on this list because you wrote it?

We are on the list because we are one of the eight, and we wrote the list, and both of those are said in the first two sentences of the page. Ready Aviator sits in its alphabetical slot with the same six fields as everybody else, including a limitation that is a real one, and four of the six use cases above are answered with somebody else's product.

Are these eight all of them?

No. These are the eight Indian DGCA question banks we could reach, read and store a dated record of, and there are ground schools and coaching centres that run banks for their own students which are not public at all. If a platform is missing and it has a public page, write to hello@readyaviator.com and it will be considered at the next recheck.

How current is this page?

Every statement about another platform was read from their own public pages on 8 September 2026, and the text of every page we read is stored with that date. We recheck quarterly. Prices and features change weekly in this niche, so follow the links and look before you decide.

Why does an entry sometimes say a price is not published?

Because it is not. Where a platform prints no price on any page we could reach, the entry says "No public pricing published (checked 8 September 2026)" and stops there. We do not infer a price from a forum post, a screenshot or a message from a student, and we never state that a platform lacks a feature when what is true is that we could not see it.
