It is important for you to note that there is no national level entrance exam for Air Hostess course admission. But you will find some institutes and airlines that conduct their selection process which may include written tests, GD or PI before admission or hiring.

  • Mostly you will get admission on the basis of your Class 12 board exam marks and a personal interview round.
  • Some private institutes may take aptitude or English proficiency tests to test your abilities.
  • Selection process is a mix of written tests, group discussion, interview rounds and other fitness exams.

So basically there is no mandatory Air Hostess exam for course admission

I can confirm you that the age limit for cabin crew varies by airline and country. Most of the airlines require candidates to be at least 18 to 21 years old. While there is often no strict upper age limit, many airlines prefer candidates under 30 to35 for entry-level roles. However, maturity, customer service experience, and fitness standards are valued even more. so, If you are passionate meet the health and grooming criteria and can handle the physical demands then age cannot stop you.
