Pilot

Hi Meenu,
Aviation refers to all activities involving the operation of aircrafts. Aviation courses in India deal with Flying Operation (Pilots), Aircrew (Air Hostesses), Aircraft, Air Traffic Management, Technical aspects of Flight, Aviation Safety, Regulatory Policies and economics of airport. Civil Aviation courses (as opposed to the Indian Air Force, that is, the air wing of the Indian armed forces) are necessary for those wishing to work in government or regulatory bodies of aviation or those planning to work as aviation consultants.
All aviation courses in India are supposed to comply with the rules laid down by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). I am sending you link of institutes offering various courses in Aviation.

Hi Ujwal,
Yes there are very good job career opportunities available if you are working as a commercial pilot.
Commercial pilots are employed by national airlines like Indian Airlines or Air India and by private airlines as well as by foreign airlines. With the Asia Pacific region emerging as the pivot of the world, the aviation industry in India is poised for takeoff. From a mere 175 aircrafts in 2004, it is expected that by 2010 around 400 odd aircrafts will zip across the Indian skies.
A pilots job, glamorous as it may appear, is however an extremely demanding one. It involves working odd hours with 200 percent concentration, absorbing complex data that is constantly fed during the flight and taking quick decisions based on the information received.
A commercial pilot job is a very demanding job, yet a very well paid job. From my personal experience, I have never seen an unsatisfied commercial pilot.
Hope my answer has solved your query.

By the way it's a hard and a challenging job. It depends on your spirit to keep up the 300 hours of flying a plane to obtain your CPL-"commercial pilot license ". After you complete your 12th taking science as your core subject with at least 50% marks in your physics and mathematics you get qualified to enter the flying school. There you have to pass a strict medical exam with a good eye site of 6/6 and good hearing capability. Then comes the question of money. That is you must keep 20-25 lakhs for the overall expenses of the 3 year course.
It's your wish to opt for this exciting career where you will be paid 10 lakh per annum as a fresher and out may raise up to 60 lakh per annum.
Hope you have a good passion about your dream career and all the best!!!
