Aviation

There are no Scholarships, only loans. Flying is an expensive profession. Despite what the rumor mill states, in India, to get to an airline cockpit as of 2017, one will have to spend anywhere between 5055 lacs if you haven't opted for one of the cadet pilot programs. If you have opted for a cadet pilot programme, this figure is often a lot more, as much as 1 Crore+
I cannot count the number of aspiring pilots who have spoken to me over the years claiming they've been told 25 odd lacs is all it takes. Nothing is further from the truth, the figure is way more than that once you factor in the Multi Engine Training, Type Rating and Airline Training costs. Like I said before, flying is an extremely expensive profession but extremely rewarding as well once you get to an airline cockpit. A junior pilots median salary is a good enough number to even out the money spent on training.
