I am currently in class 11th. My Chemistry is weak. So to become a Pilot, do I need to score good marks in Chemistry just like other subjects Physics, Maths and English? Which subject is of more importance?

If you are weak in Chemistry the only option for you is to give major time to chemistry but do not leave the Physics, and Mathematics behind.

To become pilot the required minimum qualification is that candidate must have passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main paper. Candidates need to have minimum 50% in PCM.

You need to take a pilot training course before the final recruitment. The duration varies with the training course.

For becoming Pilot, Physics and Mathematics is the most important.

Chemistry is just to fulfill your eligibility criteria for applying Pilot post.

So, even if you score low marks in Chemistry, you will be eligible for applying Pilot post.

In 12th standard, you can apply for Air Force wing of NDA.

Alternatively, in the final year of graduation you can apply for AFCAT exam.
