Both flying clubs are equally good, quality of training wise. But one should select by considering following factors at the time of admission:
1. Cost per flying hours.
2. Current Aircraft: Student ratio.
3. Current status of the flying club. etc.

It is a critical question you, but I think Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA) is one of the best flying schools in india because it is a government funded flying school which is DGCA approved. The Government of India controls this flying school. My opinion is that if you are interested to become a pilot, CAE, Gondia is one of the best flying schools in the world and they have guaranteed jobs. They also offer Indigo Cadet Program and Jet Airways Cadet Program (8 lakhs to 10 lakh rupees). It is a very costly flying school in India for CPL, it costs around Rs 60 lakhs or more.
But they have guaranteed jobs.

If you are interested in programming then BCA is a better option. You may even opt for B.Sc in IT or CS, but BCA being a specialized course, it may have a higher value.
If you want to continue further, you may even opt for MCA after graduation. After MCA, you can apply for programming for any language of your preference or work as a BA.
You can continue with arts as a hobby alongside the technical education.
Good luck.

Hello Dev,
It's very good to know that you have a good dream. But one needs to work hard to achieve dreams. Basically you should have PCM in 12th for thinking of this course. There are some finer criterias for which I suggest you contact Institute directly.

When you ask a query you must be very specific what you are asking. Bombay flying club offers various courses such as:
CPL commercial pilots license
AME Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
Cabin Crew training
B.Sc Aeronautics
B.Sc aviation
Except for cabin crew you must have completed minimum 17 years age and must have passed 10+2 with physics + mathematics
admission is open now and you may apply. moreover the information you are seeking is easily available on website including prospectus.

Go for it if you have patience and will to get those licenses ASAP.
It's glamorous field but needs lots of hard work, patience and money. You will not regret after couple of years when you will start flying your dream machines.
But as being a pilot and engineer too I would say that I love flying and love everything about it.
Yes, it was hard to get job as pilot and that phase was most depressing one.
But today! I love my job and everyday seems like Sunday.
About 90/100 pilots love what they are doing.
This 40L you are talking about can be seen as your future investment as well.
In fact you will end up paying more than 40L.
Let's talk about job scenario, well India needs lots and lots of pilots but experienced one like those who got hours on type.
There are thousands of pilots out there with just 200hrs and some with type rating.
That's the problem.
And getting hours on type isn't easy at all.
I think it's more important that to whom you know rather then what do you know?
In short, I have seen people with 2o0hrs getting job with good contacts into airlines just because they got recommended by some big shot person out there.
And on other side, I would say it's better to get trained abroad & go back to India and convert your license to DGCA.
USA, Canada and Australia are among most popular countries.

You are already eligible to get admission in Bombay Flying Club. You can apply for B.Sc in aviation and they will provide the pilot training. The eligibility for admission is that a candidate must have passed in class 12th with physics and maths as subjects.
