Pilot Training

The only educational requirement for CPL training is 10+2 with PCM as its subjects. No graduation or post graduation is required.
In case you do not have PCM at 10+2 level, you shall stand ineligible for the course.
There are although provisions for those candidates who do not have PCM at 10+2 level and are interested in pursuing CPL training. They should appear for maths to complete the trio of PCM in the next session of board exams. After clearing maths at 10+2 level, they shall qualify with PCM and hence shall fall eligible for the course.
The other may remain as additional subjects, although they are of no use.
Like I mentioned earlier also, no Graduation or Post Graduation is required to pursue CPL training, lnless you are looking to join the defence forces as a Flying Officer (Pilot).
In defence services, they require graduation if you go through AFCAT or CDSE.

Definitely, you can!
But foreign airlines hire expat pilots with certain specific requirements. Usually, the requisites include:
# ATPL
# Flying Hours at least 1500
# 500 Hrs on type
# English Language Proficiency Level 5
# Class 1 Medical
The license requirement may be ICAO or FAA depending on the operator's needs.
So, before you apply for an airline like Qatar you will have to obtain at least the minimum flying hour requirements and Medicals. License conversion can be done based on their requirements.
They too have different selection procedure and pay scales for those pilots who join them from outside their home nations.
The work culture is designed to make the newcomer feel comfortable and adjust smoothly. To and fro tickets for home travel are provided. Accommodation and other important amenities are also taken care of.
Indian CPL and ATPL are ICAO licenses, hence you can be eligible to apply to any nation where they accept such licenses provided you completed the other requirements also.

Training to become a pilot is obviously an expensive task. Hence scholarships and freeships help the candidate to offload their financial burden.
In India, government flying clubs support schemes which are offered by various government institutions who finance loans for candidates who are looking for CPL training.
For general category candidates, who fall under a certain defined value of family income, Nagar Nigams have schemes for freeships are loans.
For those who belong to the Other Backward Castes, Schedule Tribes and Schedule Castes, their respective commissions have schemes to offer loans, scholarships and freeships to candidates belonging to their respective commissions.
Under such schemes, the funding is provided by the authority directly in the name of the flying schools where the candidate has enrolled himself.
This process involves a lot of documentation and paper formality. The file hence created is made to go through various sanctions and approvals. Hence the process becomes lengthy and time taking. So you to be really patient and calm if you are looking for any such scholarship or freeship or loan from the authority.
I hope I have given you enough information about the subject for you to decide wisely. Good Luck.
Any further query is most welcomed.

Hello,
Best colleges for Pilot training in India.
There are pointers that must be noted before selecting a flying school. It's not like buying vegetables. One would be spending close to Rs.50L for the course and, hence one must decide which college is best. What are these pointers? The ability of flying school to impart quality training, availability of infrastructure, availability of aircraft for training, availability of flying space, good weather days etc.
All of the above are quite critical areas. There was a time when Indian flying schools were taking very long time to complete mandated hours of flying, and hence Indian students started going abroad.
But, the situation has changed in India for the better. It is therefore advised that for every prospective flying schools above factors should be judged before finally selecting one for admission.

Hello,
For becoming a pilot, one needs to join a flying school. Out of the two options given above, only one gives training to become Pilot and that is Flytech Aviation Academy of Secunderabad. With the shifting of commercial air operations to the newly constructed Shamsabad airport, Begumpet airfield is now available for training purpose and Flytech is fully taking advantage of it. Also, due to this here budding pilots can expect to complete their required and mandatory flying of 200 hours without any issues. Thus, the time required for getting the liscence is reduced to the minimum. This enables the student to get employment with an airlines quickly as compared with his counterparts in other flying academies that don't have such exclusive airfields. Thus, it can be seen that Hindustan Aviation Academy is for different skill based training in field of Aviation, but not in flying training. Hence, students must choose Flytech.

Pilot training involves a lot of expenditure and most candidates who come from a middle class family, fund their course by means of education loan. Hence, it becomes utterly important to get a job after you are done with the training.
Government Aviation Training Institute, Bhubaneshwar and National College of Aviation, Chennai are geographically located far from each other. Although, both have had a history of training candidates for Commercial Pilot License Training Course, but the placements are not that good when compared to some premier institutes which are functional in India at present.
In my view, at present National College of Aviation, Chennai is a notch better than Government Aviation Training Institute when compared in terms of Fleet and Instructors availability.
The infrastructures are although similar and Navigational Aids availability is also good at both the places. You may choose any of them depending on the time of year you choose to start your course, so that wind conditions and visibility issues do not become a constraint in your training.
Further, to continue my point, my personal advice is to look for institutes like IGRUA or CAE Gondia. So that placement assistance is assured.
Many airlines are also running cadet pilot programmes, which are also a good choice at this point of time.
