The general trend in India after passing class 12th is going for studying in an engineering, medical or law college. It takes minimum 4 years to get a degree in these fields.
Just after passing class 12th you are eligible to start your journey to become a pilot. Pilot training will be completed in just 2 years and you will have the commercial pilot license in hand and will be ready to fly and realise your dreams.
Don’t worry if you don’t have Physics or Maths as subjects in class 12th you can meet the eligibility by clearing the Physics and Maths exam through open board, NIOS.
