Sir, I have passed 10th with 8.2 CGPA and now I am in 11th (PCB). So with pcb stream, is there any chance to be a loco pilot? If not, so please tell me other option in Indian railway.

One who is interested to become a loco pilot, must have minimum qualification of 10th standard with ITI in any trade from a recognised board. After that he has to appear in the RRB examination.

According to me, as you want to become a loco pilot in future and you have completed your 10th standard, so you should complete your ITI after completing your 10th standard because this is the minimum qualification required to become a loco pilot.
After completing your ITI, you have to appear in RRB examination.

Yes, you are eligible for Loco Pilot exam.

You need to give RRB exam.

RRB stands for Railway Requirement Services.

After 12th you should be complete ITI course in any stream or diploma in mechanical/automobile/electronics/electrical, etc.

Age Requirement: Age must be in between 18 to 30 years.

Selection Procedure: It is based on written test & interview.

Yes, you can become a loco pilot with PCB stream, candidates from any stream can become a loco pilot, but they must also have an additional qualification. Candidates must have an ITI qualification in specific trades like: heat engine/turner/tractor mechanic/wireman/fitter/mechanic radio and tv etc. With this qualification candidates can appear for Railway recruitment Board examination for loco pilot position. So, after qualifying 12th you also have to pursue ITI in order to become a loco pilot.
