IGRUA takes admission through an entrance exam which is conducted in August/September each year for CPL entrants. Check the following link for that:
http://igrua.gov.in/How to Apply. Htm
Otherwise, Admissions for CPL are taken on Direct Entry basis. You should although justify the minimum eligibility hence required for the same. You should have passed class 12 with PCM as subjects and scored at least 50% marks in PCM. You may directly contact the flying school you wish to join and enquire about the admission.

If you go for an airline sponsored programme at IGRUA then expect to pay around INR 40-45 Lakhs because this programme is offered in collaboration with international aviation TRTO - CAE. And this is named "cadet pilot programme" which ensures a job guarantee for training. Otherwise, if you go for regular CPL training via IGRUA entrance you may expect to finish within INR 35 Lacs.

There are no Scholarships, only loans. Flying is an expensive profession.

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
