Yes, you can even be an Arts student and not have Science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in your Class 12th before becoming a pilot. However, there are some requirements you would have to fulfil in addition to that to become a pilot: 

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to follow:

-

1. Know the Basic Eligibility Criteria for the Pilot Training

To be commercial pilot qualified in India, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) wants that one should have passing marks in Class 12 given Physics and Mathematics as subjects.

If you have not read these subjects in Class 12th and still want to be eligible, you can take this step:

Option A: Enroll to NIOS

You can appear for the exams of Physics and Mathematics as private and open school candidates through NIOS or any other recognised boards.

Now you have cleared the open basic educational criterion.

Option B: Attempt Equivalent Exams

Many from pilot training schools allow qualifying from equivalent Physics and Math papers conducted by their institution. This, however, is not for all countries or DGCA licensing.

-

2. Join a Flying School

Next, when you have qualified enough to meet eligibility criteria, you need to enroll at a DGCA-approved flying school. Here's what you will need:

Class 12th Certificate (with PCM or equivalent as discussed above).

Medical Fitness Certificate (Class 1 Medical Examination by DGCA).

Basic Communication Skills in English.

Top DGCA-Approved Flying Schools in India:

Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Chandigarh

Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Raipur

Capt. Gopi Aviation, Bengaluru

CAE Gondia (National Flying Training Institute)

-

3. procure Licenses

These are the licenses you need to acquire if your objective is to become a commercial pilot:

Student Pilot License (SPL): The first step; issued by a flying school.

Well, learn to fly with a Private Pilot License (PPL): this is obtained after 40 to 60 flying hours for basic flying skills.

You need to have a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) to work as a professional pilot; this requires 200 hours of flying experience.

-

4. Cost of Training

Pilot training comes at a huge price: 30 Lacs to 50 Lacs in India and much higher abroad. Scholarships and education loans may be available.

-

5. Career Options Without Physics and Math

You may choose not to take examinations and pursue other related fields, which include: Cabin Crew or Flight Attendant Aviation Management Ground Staff Operations Air Traffic Control

It surely needs some extra effort to become a pilot from an Arts background, but it sure can be done. In case you need more guidance, let me know!
