To become a commercial pilot, you should first be aware of the eligibility. 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 visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmand 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 although an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20Lacs 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.15Lacs.
So decide wisely before you enter the field.

Hi Hema!
All the mentioned courses have great scope and are quite promising when it comes to earnings. Selection of course should rather depend on your outlook, aptitude and your objective in doing the course. ICWA, CA and CS have similarities with regard to the course syllabus. The only difference lies in the depth of the subjects studied and the examination orientation. Chartered accountancy course has more comprehensive study relating to financial accounting, auditing, tax aspects. Cost accounting course has in depth study related to cost and management accounting. Company secretaryship has a detailed study about company law. Therefore, you should evaluate your interests and then decide your specialisation.
MBA is not a commerce oriented stream but it gives additional value to your existing profession. This can be the best course for candidates wanting to sharpen their business and management skills.
