Eligibility criteria for CPL is as follows:
(a)Class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50 per cent marks in Mathematics and Physics.
(b)Minimum 16 years of age to be eligible for a Private Pilot License and 17 for a Commercial Pilot License.
(c)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.
(d)General physical fitness as approved by DGCA is mandatory.
You are still not eligible for CPL based on your current educational qualifications. -
Dear Shivam.
A 3-year Diploma in engineering is considered equivalent to 10+2, thus makes you eligible for Commercial Pilot License.
If you have completed your Diploma you are welcome to join the CPL course.
