Pilot Training in India

The general trend in India after passing class 12^th is going for studying in an engineering, medical or law college. It takes minimum 4 years to get a degree in these fields.

Just after passing class 12^th you are eligible to start your journey to become a pilot. Pilot training in India will be completed in just 2 years and you will have the commercial pilot license in hand and will be ready to fly and realise your dreams.

Don’t worry if you don’t have Physics or Maths as subjects in class 12^th you can meet the eligibility by clearing the Physics and Maths exam through open board, NIOS.
