Hello,I will suggest you do a degree or degrees after class 12th. It serves as a backup plan when you are unfortunately get laid off for any reason. Now to point out. Complete class 2 Medicals and class 1 Medicals first and then after confirming you are eligible then go and apply for flight schools or join a cadet programme sponsored by an airline where you will have to undergo selection tests, if got selected then you will be signed to do training with them and they all consider you as an employee by giving money during the training period. Note that you only pay money for training. Once you complete the training successfully and after you get placed, you'll be repaid the amount in the monthly instalment in addition to your salary.
You can do your pilot training abroad. But I'll suggest you to complete all the theory papers (5 papers for CPL) before enrolling in a foreign fly school. This will help you complete the course quickly and serve well enough making the license conversation process easier when you return back to India.
I would suggest to take up the entrance test of IGRUA. It is one the finest institutes in India.
Best of luck.

There are 3 stages to becoming a commercial pilot as mentioned below:
1) To become a commercial pilot in India, one has to first possess a Student Pilot License (SPL). To get the SPL those with 10+2 with Science and aged at least 16 years should register at a flying club, which is recognized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India. Registration requires a medical certificate, security clearance and a bank guarantee. An oral examination in subjects such as Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Engine (technical and specific) follows the registration. Successful completion of the examination entitles you for an SPL certificate.
2) The second step is the Private Pilot License (PPL). PPL training includes sixty hours of flying of which about fifteen hours are dual flights, that is accompanied by the flight instructor and at least 30 hours of solo flights apart from five hours of cross-country flying. This makes one eligible for the PPL exam, which consists of Air Regulation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Aircraft Engines and Seamanship. The prescribed age for appearing for this exam is 17 years and an educational qualification of 10+2 along with a medical Fitness Certificate issued by the Armed Forces Central Medical Establishment (AFCME).
3) A Commercial Pilot Licence may be obtained only after a PPL has been acquired. To obtain a Commercial Pilots License (CPL) 250 hours of flying (including 60 hours for the PPL) is necessary. Besides that you have to undergo a Medical Fitness Test which is held at New Delhi and an examination which consists of Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Technical, Planning, and communications in the form of Radio & Wireless Transmission. With the CPL, a pilot can take up any professional assignment.
