Hello. I am Jayashree Saha and I am a student of class 11. I am studying science ( physics + chemistry+ biology) but I do not have a mathematics. Can I still apply for being a pilot? What are the necessary procedures needed? Please do help me to understand if I can become a pilot without studying mathematics.
Thanking you,
Jayasree Saha

No, without Mathematics you are not eligible to apply for Commercial Pilot license.

For becoming Pilot, you must have studied 12th standard with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your primary subjects with at least 50% marks.

In addition to this, your age must be at least 18 years.

Your height should be 64 to 77 inches when standing.

And while sitting, height should be 34 to 40 inches.

For becoming commercial pilot the basic qualification required is 10+2 in science stream. Since you have studied in science stream you are eligible to become commercial pilot.


First you need to join in flying schools and take training for becoming pilot. After completing your training you need to attend a test based on your performance in the test you’ll be given license like SPL, CPL and PPL. Based on the license you’ll be recruited as pilot in different air line companies.

There are many flying schools in India. Some of them are listed below.

- Karnal aviation club, karnal, Haryana.
- Government flying club, aerodrome, Lucknow.
- School of aviation science and technology, New Delhi.
- State civil aviation, up govt flying training centre Kanpur and Varanasi.
- Indira Gandhi rashtriya uran Akademi, Uttar Pradesh.
- Flying training institute, Behala, Calcutta.
- Government aviation training institute, Bhubaneswar.
- Rajasthan state flying school, Jaipur.
- Govt flying training school Jakkur aerodrome, Bangalore.

For becoming pilot you need Physics and Maths as a compulsory subject .
But do not worry you can also pursue Maths and Physics (2 subjects needed) from National Institute of open schooling and after its complete you can begin your Pilot training courses.

You can become a pilot, although not in India. Most countries other than India issue licenses based on nothing but your age and physical/mental fitness. If you are willing to train and settle in a different country then yes, you can.

No, you are not eligible to be a commercial pilot without having Mathematics in class 12th along with this you should have passed 12th in PCM with minimum marks of 50%.
