Private Candidates often face difficulties while applying for DGCA computer number. Many documents are needed in order to receive the computer number. One of the most important documents that you need to get is the BVC.
Now if you have studied the user manual, then you will know its full form Board Verification Certificate. Now, What is BVC? How do I get the BVC? Where do I get the BVC? How do I apply for the BVC? More often than not, candidates ask whether to send the BVC in a sealed envelope or not. Also, some candidates apply again and again in order to receive their computer number. So, let us take a look at the procedure to get your BVC approved easily.
What is a BVC ?
Board Verification Certificate is authenticated proof that verifies your marksheet of your 10th and 10+2 . This is provided by the candidates respective education board .It may be CBSE, CISCE and other state boards; generally, it is available offline but some boards provides online BVC. DGCA clearly specifies that proper link should be provided by the candidate in order to be accepted for the computer number. CAR 147 approved institutes generally complete these procedures so that candidates do not have to worry about it. However, private category students suffer a great deal if this is not known.
How to get your BVC ?
Generally a candidate needs to apply for BVC online through the respective boards website . Search the the option “Verification Documents” in the respective board’s website or search for documents in the website, or in case if you are not getting your BVC, contact your school authority. Each and every board will ask to Sign in (remember to fill all the details correctly while signing in) then proceed .
After completing all the above-said procedures, the respective board will ask you for payment. After successful payment, you will receive your BVC at home via speed post , DTDC etc.. Now the cost for the BVC will depend on the candidate’s respective board. It may be Rs 500 each (500 for 10th and 500 for 10+2) or it may be Rs 1000 each depending on the board. As per my knowledge It is Rs. 500 each in case of CBSE and CISCE. Another thing to remember, you need to get your BVC for your Marksheet or statement of marks only and not you pass certificates.
How to apply after getting the BVC ?
After receiving the Board Verification Certificate, the private category candidates often get confused about whether to send the BVC in a sealed envelope or by simply copies of the document. So let me answer you this – I asked DGCA about this in the enquiry section and they replied as follows: “please follow our user manual instructions”.
So let me tell you in layman language, just take out coloured copies of your BVC and in case of a private candidate, get those coloured copies duly attested from a gazetted officer or notary public and send it to DGCA. If you send the sealed envelope, then there is a great risk of getting your BVC lost. I got rejected for computer number thrice for my document issues (not BVC). Therefore, there is no need to send the sealed envelope to DGCA and be assured it will be accepted .
Many difficulties are faced by candidates especially for private ones in order to get their computer number if you are not from a CAR 147 institute . Hence always remember no need to panic and remember to follow all updates on the user manual of DGCA so that any change in application format or and additional information are not missed. Furthermore, you can receive your computer number on time. Many miscellaneous FAQs are provided by DGCA based on the candidate’s questions regarding many aspects. If you still face any difficulties, you may raise queries on the website. For more interesting blogs and verified aviation jobs follow Aeronefs.
