Pilot

I must at the outset state that, its a very good decision that you are taking. Basic eligibility for joining an academy to get trained as a commercial pilot is class 12th. I am attaching a link to a sample aviation academy in Thiruvananthpuram. Go through it to know about intricacies etc.

Best wishes to your dreams.

Hello, technically speaking diploma is equivalent to 12th. The issue is, is it equivalent to 12th with PCM? There is no clear answer. Some institutes do accept. I am sure Carver too will accept. I would, therefore, like to advise you to contact the admissions in charge of the academy and pose your query to get an authentic answer. For joining IIT, a Diploma is accepted as equivalent to class 12th. Best wishes to you.

Hello Amrity S. Its very nice to hear from you that you are interested in becoming a pilot. Rajiv Gandhi Institute in Thiruvananthapuram is indeed a very good choice. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information about this institute. http://www.rajivgandhiacademyforaviationtechnology.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=55.html
Best wishes for your dreams of becoming a pilot.

The CPL training eligibility requires you to have maths as a subject for admission. Therefore, it would be a good idea to pursue maths.

The candidate must have cleared 10+2 Science stream schooling with Physics and Mathematics as the main subjects (age of candidate should not be less than 17 years when the course starts).
* Non Science stream students may pursue the required subjects through NIOS. NIOS schooling can be used to meet the above mentioned requirements. Apart from NIOS, non Science stream students may also pursue the required subjects as private candidates from their respective state boards too!
* The minimum marks required is 50% (may vary from Institute to Institute) aggregate marks.

The fee charged is R42 Lacs whereas the cost of training of CPL at IGRUA is more than 45 Lacs. The gap is made up by the Government. There is no other subsidy or relaxation in training fee available to any candidate including SC,ST and OBC.
