There is an All India Pilot Challenge scholarship exam. This examination is conducted once a year between April and June. Aspiring student pilots across the nation graduating this academic year are invited to participate in this scholarship competition.
Participating students will be sent a series of information emails on the following:
1. Career opportunities as a pilot.
2. Requirements and training involved in becoming a pilot.
3. Competition details.
This will be followed by a written aptitude test in four major cities across the country following the end of the class 12th exams. The top 200 participants of this exam will be invited for an interview and pilot aptitude test on our flight simulator at Delta Flight School - Chennai. The top 120 students from this selection process will be offered appropriate scholarship awards in a dedicated award ceremony to be held at Chennai.
VALUE:
The topper who clears all the stages of the competition will be sponsored a Commercial Pilot License, worth Rs.25 Lakh. The top 120 students in the selection process will be awarded other scholarships.

For several B.Tech students planning to pursue higher education, it is primarily a choice between master of business administration (MBA) and master of technology (M.Tech) programmes. While both qualifications offer good placements and a stable career, the decision should be a well-calculated one. While an MBA prepares you for generalist roles and opens your avenues in non-technical industries, an M.Tech qualification offers you plush jobs and a freedom to take your love for technology to the next level. While both these career options are stable and rewarding, current trends indicate that students prefer MBA over M.Tech. Besides opening various employment avenues across industries, an MBA degree gives students a chance to build a promising foundation for their career. The difficulty level and rigour associated with an M.Tech degree also adds to the popularity of MBA in the student community. Hope this will help.
Good luck.

Hello Ajay,
Don't lose hope just because you had to repeat a year in class 11th. There is still a lot of scope for you in engineering. At the moment your primary concern should be on understanding the basics of Science, Mathematics and Computers (especially Science and mathematics) to boost your board percentage. Further, these basics will form your foundation in engineering.
Along with this, you need to start preparing for IIT/AIEEE entrance examinations. You can also appear for individual state examinations (OJEE for Odisha, COMEDK for Karnataka, EAMCET for Andhra Pradesh/ Telangana etc.) if you wish.
Just ensure that once you get into engineering, keep a percentage of above 70 (without any backlogs) to be eligible for placement in most companies. If asked about the year loss in class 11, be honest.
If you are confident that you can work hard, learn and score, engineering is for you.
