Yes it is a good flying school. They have got good Instructors and aircrafts. You may join them for pursuing CPL Training. The duration for 200hrs of flying shall have to be discussed with them. Because in monsoon the weather in Mumbai usually remains rainy and least suitable for flying. Although you can clear your DGCA exams for CPL in this duration and start flying after me before or after monsoon.

BFC takes admission for CPL Entrants on direct admission basis. You can approach them directly and ask for admission procedures and they shall guide you for the same. You need to have passed class 12th with 50% marks in PCM for joining CPL Training, that is the minimum requirement.

You should be aware that the cost of CPL Training is dependent on the type of aircraft you choose to get trained on.
Cessna 152 - Rs. 7000-8000 per hour
Cessna 172 - Rs. 9000-11000 per hour
P-16 - Rs. 15000-18000 per hour
Any candidate who gets enrolled for this professional training requires to complete 200 hours of flying, in order to get his/her CPL issued.
Hence the total cost including accommodation + food goes around 25-30Lakhs.
Bombay Flying School's fee will also be lying somewhere around this figure.

You need to understand that Pilot training is governed and regulated by DGCA and it is irrespective of the flying school you choose to train with. BFC will also follow the similar eligibility criteria and Requirements and decided by DGCA.
For becoming a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria, which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible. Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmandgototheclass2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience. Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India. Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, flying club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well. You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once. You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline. Then, you finally get a job as a pilot. I hope the process is well explained to you. CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20 Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10, 000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs. So, decide wisely before you enter the field.

CPL is not a degree course. It is a professional Training. You will be awarded a license by DGCA after completion of the training and not a degree.

The opportunities are immense with Commercial Airlines, Cargo Operators, Private Charters, Air Ambulance Operators and VVIP Operations.
