# ATPL
# Flying Hours at least 1500
# 500 Hrs on type
# English Language Proficiency Level 5
# Class 1 Medical

Hello,
Best colleges for Pilot training in India.

Although, both have had a history of training candidates for Commercial Pilot License Training Course, but the placements are not that good when compared to some premier institutes which are functional in India at present.
In my view, at present National College of

Just to correct your question, there are no colleges when you come to CPL, you usually do a CPL course from flying schools.
Flying schools charges are based on fuel prices, fleet, instructors, navigational facilities available, ground classes and the infrastructure available.
There are many flying clubs in India that offer CPL training, the once which you should try firstly are as under:
1. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udaan Academy - http://igrua.gov.in/Financial Assistance.htm
