Yes, you can even be an Arts student and not have Science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in your Class 12th before becoming a pilot. However, there are some requirements you would have to fulfil in addition to that to become a pilot:  Here is a simple step-by-step guide to follow:  - 1. Know the Basic Eligibility Criteria for the Pilot Training To be commercial pilot qualified in India, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) wants that one should have passing marks in Class 12 given Physics and Mathematics as subjects. If you have not read these subjects in Class 12th and still want to be eligible, you can take this step: Option A: Enroll to NIOS You can appear for the exams of Physics and Mathematics as private and open school candidates through NIOS or any other recognised boards. Now you have cleared the open basic educational criterion.  Option B: Attempt Equivalent Exams Many from pilot training schools allow qualifying from equivalent Physics and Math papers conducted by their institution. This, however, is not for all countries or DGCA licensing.  - 2. Join a Flying School Next, when you have qualified enough to meet eligibility criteria, you need to enroll at a DGCA-approved flying school. Here's what you will need: Class 12th Certificate (with PCM or equivalent as discussed above). Medical Fitness Certificate (Class 1 Medical Examination by DGCA). Basic Communication Skills in English.  Top DGCA-Approved Flying Schools in India: Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Chandigarh Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Raipur Capt.

Cost of Training Pilot training comes at a huge price: 30 Lacs to 50 Lacs in India and much higher abroad. Scholarships and education loans may be available. - 5. Career Options Without Physics and Math You may choose not to take examinations and pursue other related fields, which include: Cabin Crew or Flight Attendant Aviation Management Ground Staff Operations Air Traffic Control It surely needs some extra effort to become a pilot from an Arts background, but it sure can be done.
