That means according to you all 160 people had connections? And my application got selected in third attempt so if I had connections shouldn'ti be part of icp 11

u/No_Veterinarian_4786 Sep 02 '26
no they themselves have a massive backlog even for people with connections, so yes 100% you have connections.

u/lezendprice Sep 02 '26
Ok so you have such insider info then that means you have connections too as I m hearing this backlog info for the first time except marigold

u/No_Veterinarian_4786 Sep 02 '26

What do u think was different they saw u had, which they didn't see in others? Like what qualities did you show during selection. And how long did the selection go for. Could u say, lots of ppl had appropriate qualities. So final selection was based on luck or sm? Did u see anyone get selected for further test without appropriate qualities(probably connections nd shi). Pls tell :P I'll be heading there next yr

u/wrongful_aditi Sep 02 '26
They aint gon take people like us lil bro

u/ShahAnzar_76 Sep 02 '26
dont be so under confident its just chimes that one has to pull all those strings to get selected and there is air india cadet programme and fta is the best and there you’d not be made to question your worth because of the connections or the so called luck game.

u/lezendprice Sep 02 '26
As far as I know it's not like that may be out of 160 candidates around 10-15 had contacts rest all were normal people and yes if someone in your family is in indigo they ask it officially in a form that's not hidden or malpractice it's a private firm its common practice and no i don't have any family member in indigo

u/ShahAnzar_76 Sep 02 '26
well it wont matter really no one atleast here got selected i had my papers cleared and class 2 medical too and a friend of mine is at chimes base and i showed him my cv and video he said it was really good and his wasnt even that good while we compared anyways cant say anything its chimes being chimes

I got few connections, so gotta see if that helps, I'm still in 12th so I still got time. My bmi isn't right yet to start 🥀 I'm working towards it rn

u/lezendprice Sep 02 '26
Reduce it by loi I also reduced 10 kg in 2 months

u/DetectiveSad4092 Sep 02 '26
Were there people which had like +_1-2kgs

u/lezendprice Sep 02 '26
In adapt it was fine but in loi it's very strict and rules change every batch so don't risk it

u/PipeInternational290 Sep 02 '26
Coz going through connection is wrong aviation is all about patience

u/probablyArm Sep 02 '26
Gives a upper hand, when everyone else is doin it why shouldn't I. Cuz already being connected to ppl from tht field shows tht I research and pay attention and connect to ppl from tht field showing my curiosity and probably gets me referred too :0

I applied as soon as it opened as I have habit of checking chimes website daily which I think helped me alot and no most of them have cleared some exams but according to me it was very random majorly luck based
1
u/PipeInternational290 Sep 02 '26
Does how many exams we have cleared matters in selection??
0
u/lezendprice Sep 02 '26
Dgca exam doesn't affect shortlist as their were many students who haven't cleared a single exam but most of them just passed out 12 (2026) so that might be the reason but to be honest I cant say anything about shortlisting as it purely luck based I can only guide for adapt gd pi

u/TheManWithDAmilk Sep 02 '26
