You are welcome to enrol in the Aviation Academy and proceed with the training.
My own preference, though, would have been to finish class 12 with a PCM score of 50% and then consider what the current job market demands.
Do there still have enough room for pilots?
which probably will be there because Indian aviation market is growing at good pace.
then finish the entire course in one sitting to earn a CPL.
The very best

Hi, If you want to become a CPL instructor as your career, I would advise against it because few or no airlines will likely hire you. It is acceptable if the only goal is to learn how to fly and gain some level of expertise. But keep in mind that you must always maintain your medical standards in accordance with the rules. Like every other applicant, you must go through the AFCME medical for a class 1 certificate. Think twice before spending that much money at this age because the course is very pricey.

Also be aware that the type of aircraft you select to receive your CPL training on will affect the cost. Cessna 152: 7000-8000 rupees per hour
Cessna 172: 9,000-11,000 rupees per hour
P-16: 1500-18000 rupees per hour, etc. And in order to receive his or her CPL, any candidate who enrols in this professional training must fly 200 hours. Therefore, the entire cost, which includes lodging and food, is between 30 and 40 lakhs.
Happy New Year!
