If you aspire to become a commercial pilot, you will be required to complete flying training from any flying school which is recognized by the DGCA. DGCA is the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. So make sure to select a flying school recognised by DGCA before enrolling. Also ensure that the institute has sufficient facilities, lab, instructors and more.

There are various type of training programmes offered by Flying schools like

SPL ie. Student Pilot License

So in order to become a commercial pilot, select a school which offers CPL training programme.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA -

The eligibility criteria in most of the flying schools is that to become a commercial pilot you must pass your 12th board exams with subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Different schools might prescribe a minimum aggregate as per their own requirements. Other than this, they also lay down specific physical as well as medical eligibility criteria related to height, eyesight etc.

For completion of this course as prescribed by DGCA you need to complete a minimum of 200 hours of training to complete the course. After completion too it is very essential to get Type Rating which is an additional certificate which includes additional training too. The cost of this will also be additional.

Hope this helps.
