Hello,

First, make up a strong mind as this process requires a lot of money investment.

To be eligible to become a pilot, you have to first pass Class 12 with 50% in PCM subjects.

Later, you have to apply for Pilot Training schools. There are several famous ones in India. To get admission, along with clearing written test, you have to clear medical test also.

Instead of Pilot Schools, you can also join Pilot Training Programs by airlines like Spicejet, British Airways. Applications are available on official sites.

At the end of training, you have to gain enough flying hours and then give DGCA exam. For the whole process, in some cases, it might cost upto 50 lakhs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hey,
