The aspirant should at least study 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics & English and should score over 50% marks in it, to become a Pilot. There are various institutions in India offering the Commercial Pilot Training. There will be an entrance test conducted by the institution for the admission. The candidates should be fit physically and mentally to clear the fitness test. You can apply to the institutions after 12th examinations for the admission. The course is available in the following institutions;

- Indian Aviation Academy - Official Website
- Bombay Flying Club - Official Website
- Government Aviation Training Institute, Bhubaneswar - Official Website
- The Madhya Pradesh Flying Club Ltd - Official Website

The minimum qualification required for getting admission in aviation course for becoming Pilot is 10+2 from a recognized board. Second option is to apply for NDA/NA entrance exam for which academic qualification required is 10+2.

You can not apply for either pilot course or NDA/NA entrance examination after 10th. You need to pursue 12th from any recognized board then only you can become eligible for either of option mentioned above.
