Hello,

To become a pilot in India you need to complete your 12th with 50% marks in maths and physics. You can join any pilot training school to get student licence.

There are many pilot training school in india like

  1. Rajiv Gandhi Aviation Academy
  2. FLYTECH aviation academy
  3. Telangana State Aviation Academy
  4. Asla Pacific Flight Training Academy ETC

To obtain Commercial's Pilot licence you have to complete 250 hours of flight time and 1500 of flight time for an airline transport pilot. All these will cost you minimum of 30 Lakhs -80 Lakhs.

You can also join indian airforce where you can do your training for free if your dream is just  to fly then i would suggest you to join airforce.

But if you want to fly around and want to earn lots of money and travel then you can become  a commercial pilot.
