Pilot

Student Pilot License (SPL) & Private Pilot License (PPL) are intermediate stages of Commercial Pilot License Training.
You will be issued an SPL by the flying club after some hours of ground classes and an internal exam. Thereafter, you shall become eligible to start flying training.
It's very simple logic, SPL, PPL and CPL.
You can skip PPL as in any case you are aspiring for a higher license, which will allow you more privileges than PPL.
For becoming a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria, which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires 50% in PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible. Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you visit http://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htm and go to the class 2nd examiner's tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience. Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India. Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, flying club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well. You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once. You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline. Then, you finally get a job as a pilot. I hope the process is well explained to you. CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs. 18-20 lakhs for flying+DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam+medicals for Rs.10,000+ endorsements and license issue fees around Rs. 25K+Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs. So, decide wisely before you enter the field.

1. Requirements to become a pilot: The minimum requirements to become pilot in our country are that you need to have your 12th standard completed and you should have scored 50% of marks in physics, chemistry and maths in your 12th boards.
Student Pilots: To be eligible for a student pilot certificate, you must be at least 16 years old and able to read, speak, write and understand English, as required by Civil Aviation Regulation.

Complete your college degree: While college degrees were not compulsory in the past they are considered valuable with the advancement of time. The degree should preferably be in the field of sciences if not the aviation background. Majors in non-science backgrounds can also become pilots provided they have a good grasp of maths, calculations, and reasoning. A college degree helps to demonstrate the airline the commitment and your capability to complete the programme.
'The Training School' Hunt: While there are a number of options available in the market there is a reason why there are more than one options. Find the reason conduct a study as to which training school is better in various aspects. Create a chart with the pros and cons of the aviation field but also consider external factors like proximity to your residence and the fee. Post brainstorming, enrol in a school. This is a crucial desk of knowledge heading in the direction of launching your career. The flying school will not only teach you the basics and advances of flying the aircraft but also train you to excel with providing you hands-on experience to fly aircraft.

Some flying schools in India are listed under:
1. IGRUA Raebarelie
2. NFTI Gondia
3. Chimes Aviation, Sagar
4. NFC, Nagpur
5. BFC, Mumbai
6. Carver Aviation, Baramati
7. GMR Avaition Academy
You should also be aware that the cost of CPL Training is dependent on the type of aircraft you choose to get trained on. Cessna 152 - Rs.7000-8000 per Hour
Cessna 172 - Rs.9000- Rs.11000 per Hour
P-16 - Rs.15000- Rs.18000 per Hour etc. And, any candidate who gets enrolled for this professional training requires to complete 200 hours of flying, in order to get his/her CPL issued. Hence, the total cost including accommodation + food goes around 30 Lakhs -40 Lakhs. IGRUA & NFTI are two premiere institutions in India who also have tie-up with international TRTO CAE. Flying is taught by flying schools and not by universities, as CPL is a professional training, as I've already mentioned above and not a degree course. Hope this has made things clear for you.

Class 12th with 50% marks in PCM is the minimum requirement.In General:
