Job opportunities will be limited to specific sector in industry where aircraft are handled. A better idea would be to opt for more generalised course.

It is quite difficult to obtain CPL as its costly and education is also tough but definitely it is more paying in comparison to aircraft maintenance engineering profession. Opportunities for both pilot and aircraft engineers is equally good. You may choose any based on your interests.

Sorry dear, nowadays pilot training is very costly as they charge around 10k for 1 hour flying, you need 200 hours flying to get your pilot license. There are a lot of extra charges also. It will cost you around 40 lacs to complete your flying training from a good flying club.
You can apply for scholarship programs from Rashtriya Udyan Academy Govt. flying clubs, but that scholarship is available for backward class only, not for general class.

Hello Supriya,
Yes, you can be a pilot but there are different rules of correction. You can wear glasses and still be an airline pilot as long as your vision is correctable to 20/20.

Yes, you can do pilot training from any institute in India after 10th. But for getting the licence, you have to pass 12th with physics and maths. You can do it with NIOS easily as it is valid for it.
