I'm in class 12th having Science stream with PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) subject combination. To study a course of Aeroplane Pilot and become a Pilot what should be the minimum marks in 12th board exam?

In order to become pilot you have to qualify NDA examination that is conducted by UPSC twice in a year in the month of April and September.
Only those candidates are eligible to appear in this examination who have completed their 10 + 2 with PCM from a recognised board with minimum 60% marks and relaxation of 5% is given to reserved category students.

You must have secured at least 50% in 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your primary subjects.

Then only, you can apply for CPL i.e Commercial Pilot License.

Some of the top rated Pilot training institutes in India are:

• Government Aviation Training Institute, Bhubaneswar
• Coimbatore Flying Club, Coimbatore
• Indian Aviation Academy, Mumbai
• Co-operative Flying Club Ltd, Jamshedpur
