Pilot

Once confirmed with the necessary endorsement, commercial pilots are paid handsomely. Entry-level pilots can earn up to Rs 1.5 Lacs per month with domestic airlines and even higher on international routes. Senior pilots can earn in the vicinity of Rs 5 Lacs upwards per month.

You would have to join as a trainee pilot with an airline.

The CPL training eligibility requires you to have maths as a subject for admission. Therefore, it would be a good idea to pursue maths.

The candidate must have cleared 10+2 Science stream schooling with Physics and Mathematics as the main subjects (age of candidate should not be less than 17 years when the course starts).
* Non Science stream students may pursue the required subjects through NIOS. NIOS schooling can be used to meet the above mentioned requirements. Apart from NIOS, non Science stream students may also pursue the required subjects as private candidates from their respective state boards too!
* The minimum marks required is 50% (may vary from Institute to Institute) aggregate marks.

The fee charged is R42 Lacs whereas the cost of training of CPL at IGRUA is more than 45 Lacs. The gap is made up by the Government. There is no other subsidy or relaxation in training fee available to any candidate including SC,ST and OBC.
