The aspirant should pass 10+2 with physics, chemistry and mathematics with 50% marks. But it is always advisable to study a degree before taking up commercial pilot training. The cost involved in the commercial pilot training will be around Rs 20 to 30 Lakhs approximately. The passion in interest is most important to become a pilot, it need lots of hard work to work as pilot. The aspirant should be physically fit to fly. Best of Luck for your future.

To become pilot you require 10+2 educational qualification with physics and mathematics as main paper.

After 10+2 you have to clear DGCA 2 medical and get your file number and take initial ground class for an experienced instructor.

After this you become eligible to take admission in the flight training school. After taking the course and having minimum flying of 200 hrs you have to clear the written and flying examination to get the commercial pilot licence.

So, you have to first complete your 10+2 and then only you become eligible for it.

To become a Commercial Pilot candidate must have passed their +2 in Science stream having Physics, Chemistry and Maths as main subject along with English as compulsory subject.

Candidate must have attained at least 50% of marks from a recognized school or college.
