    If you are mentioning BE for the educational qualification, then trust me it is not at all required. Whereas, since you are a Mechanical Engineer you might be faster in picking up Technical Concepts of AIRCRAFT.
    To be a pilot, you require to clear 10+2 with PCM, thereafter enroll into any flying club, which will take care of the rest including your SPL (Student Pilot License). Best of Luck.

    You need to first possess a student pilot license. You must be over 17 years of age and have completed class 12th with science (Physics and mathematics) with 50%.
    Your vision in one eye must be perfect. In general medical terminology, it is called 6/6 eyesight. In the other eye, you could have an imperfection of 6/9, which must be correctable to 6/6.

    Ideally, you should not be going to become q pilot after BE as your BE would be of no use and the years taken to complete your BE would be wasted. If you are interested in aeronautics then do your post-graduation in that specialty field.
