Yes, you can. If your state open school is government one like West Bengal Open School and Madhya Pradesh Open School, and if you have studied physics chemistry and mathematics together with minimum 50 percent mark, you are eligible.

Without pursuing pilot training course, you can't become a pilot.
You have to do both in order to become a good pilot. If you are planning to take Commercial Pilot as a career option then B.Sc Aviation may not directly benefit you except that you will have graduation degree and in long run based on your graduation degree, you can do MBA or any other PG degree.
