Greetings, aspirant!

There are various types of pilots in the aviation industry, ranging from commercial to defence forces.

As for Commercial/Civil pilots, you need to have physics and maths as a compulsory subject in your higher secondary. From here on, you need to join a flying school. To get an admission into one, you need to appear for a written test, a medical test and an interview before you get selected.

The written test consists of 4 subjects: maths, general English, physics and logical reasoning. After this, candidate needs to appear for the medical test and interview as instructed by the DGCA.

After you've enrolled yourself with a flying school, you can pursue your B.Sc in Aviation.

In the duration of your course, you apply for a Student Pilot License. In order to get this license, a student must appear for an oral test conducted by a representative of the DGCA. This license allows you to undergo training as a student. By the time your course is over, you need to complete a minimum of 250 hours of training.
