Hi Aspirant,

There are two type of Pilot variants. One for whom flying is just a hobby, others regards it as his/ her career. Two different programs are available for the two kinds of pilots. For the hobby the PPL (Private Pilot License) is available, while for the pilots looking for a career in the aviation industry its the CPL (Commercial Pilot License).

To become a pilot after B.E in Mechanical Engineering :

1. Get a class II medical test done by a DGCA approved doctor.
2. Most importantly the infrastructure as well as experience in the industry for over 20 years. You can find the list of doctors at the DGCA website.
3. Join a flying club. I would recommend Academy of Carver Aviation Pvt. Limited for their large fleet, young and dynamic flight instructors
4. Giving necessary theory exams as required by DGCA is generally taken care by the Flying Club that you would join. Rest of the formalities like getting a Student Pilot License, doing required flying hours etc are done later on.

Hope this is clear

Thanks
