There are many calculations required to be done before each flight. The tabulation of the correct Aircraft weight depending on it's loading. It should satisfy the runway length, day's temperature, airport pressure and maximum allowable takeoff weight for the aircraft. The computers in the aircraft are equipped to do all these calculations but the pilots are taught all these calculations manually. So that in case of any emergency manual calculations can be done. I hope you understand that maths is required for all such calculations.

Yes, you can do CPL, even if you have done class 12th form NIOS, provided you score 50% in PCM.
You need to understand that Pilot training is governed and regulated by DGCA and it is irrespective of the flying school you choose to train with.

No, pilot training course offers a job guarantee under Rs. 35 lacs. Only the cadet pilot programme conduct by various airlines offer job after the completion of the training. The training cost in such programmes ranges from Rs. 55-65 lacs. After doing your CPL from any usual flying school you are free to apply to any and every vacancy that is announced by airlines for the want of pilots. If you are good at your subjects and remember the procedures well you will always have a chance to get shortlisted for pilot's job.

Yes, job opportunities after CPL training are good. Airlines keep coming up with vacancy notification from time to time. Some ask for normal CPL Holders and others come up with Type Rating requirements. Whatever you are eligible you can apply and go through the selection process. The opportunities are immense with Commercial Airlines, Cargo Operators, Private Charters, Air Ambulance Operators and VVIP Operations. Defence forces also accept CPL holders for the position of Assistant Commandant or Flying Officer.

I think you will have to appear for improvement exam in your board because, the minimum requirement for pursuing CPL course is 50% marks in PCM. If at all you are interested to do this course then appear for improvement and score at least 50% in PCM. Then only, you can try!
