Yes, you can still pursue a career as a pilot even if you studied Physics Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) in Class 12 but scored low marks. The qualification required to become a pilot in India particularly for obtaining a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) mandates that candidates must have passed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. However if your scores in these subjects are low there are pathways to meet the eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for pilot training you must have completed Class 12th with Physics and Mathematics. If you did not achieve the required marks you can clear these subjects through open schooling programs like the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) or equivalent boards. This option allows you to meet the education qualification for pilot requirements.
In addition to educational qualifications you must obtain a Class 2 medical certificate from a Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approved medical examiner. This certificate ensures that you are physically and mentally fit to undergo pilot training.
Once you meet the educational and medical requirements you can enroll in a DGCA approved flying school to begin your pilot training. The training involves both ground classes and flight training leading to the issuance of a Student Pilot License (SPL) followed by a Private Pilot License (PPL) and eventually a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). The qualifications for commercial pilot training are rigorous and include accumulating a specified number of flying hours and passing theoretical and practical exams.
While low scores in PCM may initially seem like a barrier they do not preclude you from pursuing a career as a pilot. By clearing the necessary subjects through open schooling and meeting the medical requirements you can embark on the path to becoming a pilot. Remember determination and the right qualifications are key to achieving your goal.
