So, after 12th — assuming you took Physics and Maths — the next step is finding a flying school that's approved by the DGCA. Before starting training, you'll need a Class 2 medical check-up first. Once that's cleared, you'll also go for a Class 1 medical. Then you can begin your CPL training. It's not just flying; you'll also study stuff like Air Regulations, Weather (Meteorology), and Navigation. After you complete your required flying hours and finish the classes, you can take the DGCA exams. If you pass those, you get your commercial pilot license.
