Common questions

What are the most important topics in DGCA Air Regulations?

Aviation physiology and Instrument procedures (PANS-OPS). Their questions come up most often in the exams, so learn them first. Then cover every chapter: the rest still come up.

Do DGCA exams repeat questions?

Often. Many questions come up in more than one exam session, which is why the topics rated Very high are the place to start. A repeat is still a question you have to work, so practise the chapter, not a list of answers.
