I have started my B.Tech course in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (E.E.E) branch. I have my passion in Aviation. What will I do after completing my degree to become a Commercial Pilot and fly Airplanes?

To become Commercial Pilot in near future, you will have to get admission in anyone of the following Pilot training institutes like:

• Government Aviation Training Institute, Bhubaneswar
• All India Institute of Aeronautics, (AIIA), Dehradun
• Rajiv Gandhi Aviation Academy, Secunderabad
• Ahmedabad Aviation and Aeronautics, Ahmedabad
• Government Flying Training School, Bangalore
• Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Bareilly
• West Bengal Flying Training Institute, Kolkata
• Coimbatore Flying Club, Coimbatore

• Co-operative Flying Club Ltd, Jamshedpur

For getting admission in anyone of these institutes, you need to pass their entrance exam that contain three stages:

• Written Exam (contains General Knowledge, Maths, English)
• Interview
• Mental Balance, Situation Handling, Medical Test

Note that you are only eligible for getting admission into these Pilot training institutes if you have passed 10+2 from PCM stream with at least 50% marks.

The duration of Commercial Pilot training is around 18 months which costs roughly around 12 lakhs INR. If you want Commercial Pilot License (CPL) too, then it would cost 16 lakhs INR in total.
