• DGCA Compliance: For technical and flying roles, ensure all your licenses (CPL, FIR, AME) are current. IGRUA follows strict DGCA regulations, and any lapse in license validity leads to immediate disqualification.
• Administrative Precision: For the Administrative Officer role, focus your preparation on Government Procurement (GeM) and Contract Management, as these are core functions in an autonomous aviation body.
• Aviation Passion: During interviews, demonstrate a clear understanding of the "Safety Management System" (SMS). In a high-risk environment like a flight academy, safety consciousness is the top trait evaluated by the board.
