Eligibility for being Pilot in India now allow any stream students to Apply !

As in other country, being pilot you do not need to have science student in Senior Secondry Schooling but in India it was a rule. Existing rules stipulate that a student should have completed Class XII with physics and maths as compulsory subjects for becoming a flier.

Now, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has recommended that anyone who has passed Class X with physics and maths — which almost all do — and then completed Class XII from any stream be considered eligible for becoming a pilot.

The only condition the new DGCA recommendation lays down is that students must have compulsorily studied physics as part of science in Class X — and not home science in place of physics, as is the option in some boards.

Now this will sure help many people out there who want to be Pilot but hindered by not having science at Intermediate schooling.
