In order to become a pilot, you should have to complete your 10th standard at first with 60% marks in science stream. Then you have to opt for science stream in 12th standard with mathematics and physics as main subjects. You have to complete your 12th with minimum 60% to 65% marks from a recognized board.

Students who want to become a Pilot in the future have to study 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics and English subjects. Students should score at least 50% marks in the 10+2 or equivalent examinations to join the pilot training course. Students should be fit physically and mentally to fly. They have to appear for an aptitude test for the admission to the pilot training course. They have to clear the Class II Medical Test to join the pilot training course. The above given are the requirements to join the pilot training course.
