The eligibility criteria is More or less same.........!

Every years hundreds of Indian students goes Abroad for CPL, the whole criteria is same all things there will be of international level and nothing else.

One of my brother;s friend's brother has done its pilot Training from Australia after completing his +2 (PCM) with 85% aggregate, it cost him 30 Lacs to complete whole training.

So, I dont think criteria is different.

Dear friend,
career as a commercial pilot is great.but the initial investment for this course is some where between 15-25 lakhs.if you are financially strong then you can go for it.and the salary in return of the investment is also that type.if you are in domestic bound flight then it might vary from1.5-2lakhs per month and in international it is above 3 lakhs per month.
All The Best!!!

All the procedures to become a commercial piolot are more or less the same, but it is all at the international level and costly affairs.
For becoming a pilot you must be fit and have good eyesight.
You must also have physics and maths as your subject in 10+2

thank you sir for your such a good guidance

SIR,One of my friend had secured 52% in 12th but he had to go for pilot,can he proceed furthur????

Dear Friend,
The basic education qualification to become an airline pilot is to clear 10+2 (Senior Secondary School) with a pass in Physics and Maths. So 12th is mandatory.

To get into a commercial pilot's you have to get commercial pilot's license, which typically takes 1-2 years of training. After getting a commercial pilot's license, a job with an airline begins as a trainee co-pilot and after a transition training of 6 to 8 months, one starts flying on line as a co-pilot.

It requires a basic aptitude (does not mean to be good in mathematics and science, but it does require one to have reasonably basic numerical abilities) apart from good reasoning and communication skills.


Many of the people are uncertain about the procedure to become an pilot.
One have to follow in depth,

1. Pass a medical to ensure you meet the medical requirements.

2. Undertake a training course to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence

3. Obtain employment to build your flying experience.

Here is some of the flying schools for training in india

Flying Training Institute, Behala, Calcutta
Government Aviation Training Institute, Civil aerodrome, Bhubaneswar
Karnal Aviation Club, Kunjpura Road, Karnal, Haryana
