How low marks do you have? PCM in 12th with 50% passing marks is least elibilty for aviation training. State your marks then we would be able to tell better.

CPL admissions are usually done on Direct Entry Basis. Only few flying schools conduct entrance examination like IGRUA & NFTI.
For these two clubs, you will have to clear the CPL entrance test which is of NDA level.
So, it depends on your choice. You may opt to go for flying schools who take direct entry or via entrance exam.

A degree in aeronautics will only help you in understanding the concepts of aerodynamics. Although, it will not add to any specific or known advantage, while pursuing pilot training or interview for that matter. The aviation regulatory authority has decided minimum qualification for a pilot to be class 12th from any recognized board in PCM. If you have not started your B.Tech. then my personal advice is to not to go for it, because it will take 4 years to complete the degree, in which you can easily complete CPL and get a pilot's job.

If you want to be an Airforce pilot, you have to give the AFCAT exam. For commercial pilots, a candidate can join any private commercial pilot training centre which is approved by the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).

Airline and commercial pilots are trained to operate aerial vehicles in order to perform duties like transporting supplies and passengers.
Although this career may appeal to adventurous souls, there is also a high level of stress and responsibility involved in commanding aircraft under different weather conditions and in various difficult situations. Typically, two pilots are required in most aircraft, and the most experienced pilot is considered the captain. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported the median salary for all airline pilots, co-pilots, and flight engineers in May 2015, was INR. 117,290.

Rahul,
First, finish your class 12 and then if you are interested in doing your CPL training from any private club, you can apply anytime. And if you are looking for IGRUA, then the notification comes in the month of September every year.

No flying school in India or abroad assures placement. Only those courses which are cadet pilot programmes or sponsored by airlines allow jobs after the completion of CPL Training. If you are looking for assured job courses then you will have to opt for Cadet Pilot Programme, but remember it will be immensely expensive when compared with training from normal flying schools. The only and major difference is that if you get trained from any flying school you will have to fight the competition for selection in any airline. While in CPP the airline will pick you up.
