Yes, job opportunities after CPL training are good. Airlines keep coming up with vacancy notification from time to time. Some ask for normal CPL Holders and others come up with Type Rating requirements. Whatever you are eligible you can apply and go through the selection process. The opportunities are immense with Commercial Airlines, Cargo Operators, Private Charters, Air Ambulance Operators and VVIP Operations. Defence forces also accept CPL holders for the position of Assistant Commandant or Flying Officer.

I think you will have to appear for improvement exam in your board because, the minimum requirement for pursuing CPL course is 50% marks in PCM. If at all you are interested to do this course then appear for improvement and score at least 50% in PCM. Then only, you can try!
