You will need to be fit and healthy to qualify for the fitness criteria.

Moreover, If you are thinking of getting into the Indian Air Force, additional fitness standards will also apply:

• Height at least 162 cm with appropriate weight
• Leg length 99 – 120 cm
• Thigh length Maximum 64 cm
• Sitting height 82 cm to 96 cm

TRAINING SCHOOLS

You should take admission in a reputed flying school to start your learning and practice. You will have to clear a number of hours based on the type of license you want to earn.

• Student pilot license (SPL)- basic license to start your career. Age required: 16 and above
• Private pilot license (PPL)- You can get the Licence after a total of 60 hours of flight under the provision of trainers. Age required: 17 and above
• Commercial pilot license (CPL)- You will need to clear 190 hours of flight. Age required: 18 and above
• Airline Transport Pilot: As per the latest guidelines a person will have to clear at least 1000 hrs of flight. Age required: 21-23 years.

Considering which type of license you want to earn, the money you will have to spend will be around 15-20 lakh.

If you are not in a condition to shell such an amount, you can try and join Indian Air Force by clearing AFCAT as well as other such tests. The eligibility criteria are slightly tougher and you will end up being a fighter pilot for the Nation.
