There are 3 ways to become pilot after class 12th in India.
1. Join in a DGCA approved flying school and complete your Private Pilot License (PPL) / Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and join as a pilot in an airline.
2. Complete your Bachelors in aeronautical engineering and then go through the above mentioned way.
3. Apply for exams like National Defence Academy (NDA) and become a government trained pilot with free of cost training. As of me, I suggest you to go through the 2nd way because once your aeronautical engineering is completed you are having a backup in life also you will be covering all the basics of aviation

Hi Aman, As such, there are 3 basic steps to become a pilot rather to be called as a pilot.
The first step is the SPL (student pilot license), second step is the PPL (private pilot license) and the third step is the CPL (commercial pilot license).
Once you are through with these steps, you get the title of a pilot, but to get a job you are still left to do your multi engine rating and type rating. Once you do all these, you are eligible to apply for a pilot's job.
