Placements are typically fair, not too good and not too bad. If you do good at your course you can expect to get placed.

Your height and other parameters are absolutely perfect for the profile of cabin crew but I'm afraid eyesight of -ve 2.5 is a matter of worry.
Usually acceptable range is +/- 0.5. Still you should check with the hiring airline. Because eyesight parameters vary from operator to operator.

Rahul,
First, finish your class 12 and then if you are interested in doing your CPL training from any private club, you can apply anytime. And if you are looking for IGRUA, then the notification comes in the month of September every year.

IATA shall only provide you training. You will have to look for a job on your own. They usually do not provide any placements or jobs as such. The certification provided by them is acceptable at many places and it is also very well recognised. So it should not be too difficult to find a job.

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, etc.
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 30-40 lakhs.

No flying school in India or abroad assures placement. Only those courses which are cadet pilot programmes or sponsored by airlines allow jobs after the completion of CPL Training. If you are looking for assured job courses then you will have to opt for Cadet Pilot Programme, but remember it will be immensely expensive when compared with training from normal flying schools. The only and major difference is that if you get trained from any flying school you will have to fight the competition for selection in any airline. While in CPP the airline will pick you up.

IGRUA is the best, they are government aided and have the best infrastructure, instructors, aircrafts and other facilities. They also have a tie-up with CAE, hence the quality of training and exposure is much better. Chimes is also doing good when it comes to private institutions. They operate from an uncontrolled airfield and usually have to go to Bhopal or some other controlled airfield to practise instrument flying procedures. The instructors are although good and same is the condition of their airplanes. Both the institutions have good in-house accommodation facilities available and the infrastructure is also comparable.

No, B.Tech is not going to give any additional advantage or preference for pilot training. The only required educational qualification for becoming a pilot is 12th with PCM. B.Tech will just find a place in your CV and will be reflected as your additional qualification. Apart from this, there's no other benefit that it shall give you.
