Dear aspirant,

To be eligible for pilot training candidates have to clear entrance and aptitude tests. No , a commerce student cannot join flying schools.

HI Aspirant,

To be and practise pilot as a student one must possess the student pilot license.However for commercial pilot posts one must give the exam and certify in the exam of CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence).  . This Licence is issued after a candidate clears the training program from an Institute recognized by the Civil Aviation Authority of that particular country.In case of India it is DGCA.

Hope it helps!!

Hello aspirant, BSc. in aeronautical engineering involves more theory based study of the topic while B Tech course involves more practical knowledge that is applied science about aeronautics. B. Sc core subjects are more similar to pilot training studies but B Tech syllabus is slightly different. In terms of salary and job opportunities Bsc is considered to be slighly better. There is no entrance exam for BSc but you have to give entrance exam in B.Tech.

Both courses will help you learn about aircraft design and will directly or indirectly help you for pilot training in future. So based on above points and your interests you should choose between Btech or BSc in aeronautics engineering.

Dear aspirant,

Yes, you can study Pilot after completion of B.Tech Civil Engineering. You can become Civil Aviation Piolet but might not Fighter Piolet because till the time you complete B.Tech Civil Engineering and join Piolet course you'll exceed the age limit for Fighter Piolet. There is good scope for Piolet and most of them are opting for it after graduation.

Hope this information helped you.

Good Luck!!

After BTech, you need to enroll in a Pilot Training Program at some Government Institute, Private University in India or Abroad or as an alternative, in a Cadet Program from one of our Reputed Airline Companies like Indigo, Spicejet or Air Asia, leading to a secure job after completing the Training Program and accomplishing your Commercial Pilot License and relevant Mandatory Health Reports. However, Commercial Flight Training, this is quite expensive despite certain funding, scholarships and loans.

Another way of becoming a Pilot, is by joining the Indian Air Force after BTech by appearing for the AFCAT Examination for Flying Branch followed by SSB Interview. If selected, after a strong 15-20 years experience with the Indian Air Force, you may join Air India as a Commercial Pilot under their scheme of recruiting ex Air Force Pilots and Flying Experts.

Hello,

JEE is not going to help you to become a pilot. There are two ways to become a pilot in India. One is after 12th you need to join pilot training school and become a pilot but that's very costly. The other way is to become a pilot for Indian army that is be joining Indian Airforce. You can become a pilot but you will need to serve Indian Airforce for a long time. So if you want to become a commercial pilot then you will have to wait a long time through Indian Army.

Hi student,

The procedure to become a pilot is mentioned below:-

There are various aviation courses in the flying schools and you can choose any one, your college degree matters less.

The steps to become or make someone a pilot are as follows:-

• Get College Education in any discipline i.e. any course - Usually aerospace engineering, aeronautical mechanical engineering, physics or computer science provide a good educational base for pilots.
• Gain Flying Hours - Go to a pilot training school and get at-least 250 hours of flight experience.
• Earn a Pilot's License after 18 years of age - The applicant has to clear one written examination and a physical examination to ensure they have good vision and hearing as well as no physical impairments that might lead to crashes.
• Complete Additional Tests and Training - Collect all airworthiness and medical certificates that are asked by Airlines.
• Work as a Pilot - Generally, pilots hired at major airlines have around 4,000 hours of experience flying commercial planes but they may hire you as a co-pilot giving an opportunity to learn more. You may start your career flying charter planes or helicopters to gain experience.
• Get advanced in the field - After 5 to 15 years of experience larger airline companies may approach you may work on senor ranks.
