Hi my name is varun i am studying 10th what course should i select to become an pilot pls help me

To become a pilot, you don't have to be in great shape or have superior hand-eye coordination. For private pilot privileges, you will have to, at some point, pass an FAA medical exam, but for most this is little problem if you don't have a known heart condition and your vision is reasonably good or can be corrected (with glasses or contacts) to be good (not necessarily perfect). If you have concerns, see a doctor first.

You will be eligible to join after you complete your 12th standard. You must opt for Physics, Chemistry and Maths during the same. After this the first step to apply for the Student Pilot License with DGCA. The next step is complete 60 hours of flying and secure the Private Pilot License. The final step is to complete the required 250 hours of flying to acquire the Commercial Pilot Licence. If you are interested in joining the IAF then you can apply for the NDA exam after 12th standard. Another option is to complete engineering and then pursue your aspirations.
