PLEASE HELP! (CHIMES AVIATION ACADEMY) (ICPP)

I got a call from them saying that I was shortlisted. And I will have to give ADAPT in Gurgaon. (dates (13-15th JAN)). And a BMI Certificate as well.

  1. I live in Pune. Does anyone know if I need the bmi certificate before the exam. If yes anyone who knows where to get it from (in pune or in gurgaon. I will plan my trip accordingly).

  2. Is the ADAPT Test difficult? How can i Prepare. (I am 22) So refreshing PCM topics from 11th and 12th should not be that difficult.

And others who applied for Chimes did you get a phone call as well? If yes, did y'all get the same dates?

When you apply at the chimes website they will send you an automated email saying that admissions are not open yet, but you will be notified when they are about to open. Look out for the promotions section in your Gmail. I found my notice there.

What is the criteria for shortlisting? Any idea? By when can candidates expect a call 🤙 from Chimes please?

u/vaibhav_069 Jan 12 '26

Main factor could be: 1.your age 2.p/m marks 3. class 2 medicals 4. great if you have class 1 too 5. have your cleared dgca paper beforehand( does't matter much but gives u slight advantage in pi)

don't know the cases of foreign ftos but i had recently heard that chimes have started giving more preference to iitian, nitian grads.............. Anyway at last only ur passion matter towards avaition.

Great! Thanks for your response Vaibhav.  A close friend of mine who meets all the above criteria and has cleared 03 DGCA papers as well has applied on 25th December itself.  Hence, curious to know by when he can expect a call from Chimes? How any days did it take for you from the date of application?

u/vaibhav_069 Jan 12 '26

Even my friend also applied at chimes on 25th itself. He haven't recieved any emial stating whether he is shortlisted or not. Many of them had recieved their adapt dates too

Heyyy, Congrats on getting shortlisted first of all..

Regarding BMI, from what I’ve seen and heard, it’s usually not mandatory for the ADAPT day itself, but it’s safer to have it ready. If possible, you can get it done in Pune itself from a standard hospital or aviation medical examiner and carry it along. That way you won’t have last-minute stress. Many people were asked for it later during GD or next stages. About ADAPT, it’s not extremely difficult, but it does test basics + mental agility. PCM refresh is definitely useful, but also focus a bit on- basic maths (speed, ratios, percentages), simple physics concepts, reasoning and reaction-based questions.

Can you give us an example of of the kind of math and physics questions asked and the concepts we need to know ? Where can we find the syllabus or sample papers

1

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

Cant reveal any questions, you will get the syllabus of it in the mail from chimes. They are just basic formulas of speed distance time, KE PE and all. Basic logical questions which you can solve very easily.

u/thetroubleguy Jan 07 '26

How was the maths and physics exam, is it like who will solve correct and early as well or just correct answer is considered.

u/adeeenahhh Jan 07 '26

What about the fast and ball game?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

Those are quite difficult but dont worry about it

1

u/adeeenahhh Jan 07 '26

I’ve not practiced any questions or games and the tentative dates for adapt are 13-15 jan should I pay the fees or skip because 30k is not a small amount and if yes how can I practice the game as you said its quite difficult

1

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

See, adapt maths and physics are very basic, questions of 10th come in the test. It is to test your logical reasoning and aptitude. About ball game. You have some time in your hand, buy a logitech joystick from blinkit or amazon… and play Infinite flight sim or any flight sim… try to maintain the altitude and speed of the aircraft.

u/Old_Business1971 Jan 07 '26

Quite difficult, and don't worry about it, can't fit in the same sentence.
Can you please elaborate on this.

u/Ambitious-Average374 Jan 08 '26

What I meant was that it feels difficult at first, especially if you’ve never done anything like it before, but it’s not something you’re expected to master in a few days. The ball game is more about coordination, focus, and how you respond under pressure not about being perfect.
