Many students dream of becoming pilots even if they come from a commerce background. The good news is that a commerce student can become pilot in India. The main requirement is to meet DGCA's medical and educational standards not the stream you studied in school. However sometimes candidates may fail the medical test initially. This does not mean the dream is over.
The DGCA Class 1 medical test ensures that a pilot is physically and mentally fit to fly. If a student fails in the first attempt it can often be due to minor or temporary issues such as eyesight BMI or a treatable condition. DGCA allows students to reappear for the medical test after recovery or treatment. With proper medical advice and care most students clear it successfully in their next attempt.
To apply for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) you need to pass 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics. If a commerce student didn't have these subjects in school they can still become a pilot by appearing for these subjects through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling). Once qualified they can join DGCA approved flying schools across India.
So yes a commerce student can become pilot even if they fail the medical test initially. The key is to stay motivated improve your health and retake the medical test. Aviation welcomes students from all streams who have passion discipline and dedication. Many successful pilots started from commerce and achieved their dream through proper guidance and persistence.
