Yes, you can. The minimum eligibility requirement for CPL is just class 12th. You should have passed class 12th with PCM (50% marks). 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 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 to visit: http://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htm and go to the class 2nd examiners 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 Lacs 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.

Basic Eligibility Criteria. According to the IIM admission criteria 2018-20, candidates appearing for CAT must have a Bachelor's Degree with at least 50 per cent marks (for General category) and 45 Percent (for SC, ST and PWD category) or equivalent CGPA from any recognised university. All the Iims usually follow a two-step selection process. First, short-listing on the basis of CAT score and then What and PI rounds for the short-listed students. Common Admission Test (CAT)
Written Ability Test (What) and Personal Interview (PI)
Candidates who fulfill the first stage of the admission criteria CAT are called for What and PI rounds. Different Iims as per their admission criteria offer admissions to the selected students. Most of the Iims give maximum weightage to Personal Interview and CAT score for admissions. However, factors like academic cut-offs, past academic performance, relevant work experience, gender diversity etc. Also play a major role in the admission process. Each IIM has its own admission criteria which they release after the official announcement of CAT. The old Iims and some of the new Iims have released admission criteria for 2018-20. As compared to previous year, there has not been much change in terms of CAT cutoff or selection procedure and criteria of the Iims. Iims do not conduct any common counselling process. The six new Iims conduct Common Admission Process (CAP) which includes common What and PI rounds. However, the participating institutes declare separate merit lists. The recent Iims, IIM Sirmaur and IIM Jammu, both mentored by IIM Lucknow do not conduct What-PI rounds and declare merit list based on CAT score, past academic records, work experience and diversity factors.
