Current Eligibility & Proposed Changes.

Until recently in India the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) mandated that students must have studied Physics and Mathematics in Class 12th to be eligible for Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) training. This science-stream requirement has been in force since the mid 1990s meaning arts or commerce students were previously ineligible unless they re sat Class 12th exams via open school to include those subjects. However, in a landmark development, the DGCA has proposed lifting this restriction allowing Class 12th graduates from arts and commerce streams to pursue CPL training provided they meet medical and other criteria. The recommendation has been forwarded to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and, pending final approval from the Law Ministry  could soon come into effect.

What This Means for Arts & Commerce Students

If approved, this change will open the skies to many more aspiring pilots by removing the need for physics and maths in Class 12th, thus aligning India with international practice. That said experts emphasize that the foundational knowledge in physics and maths remains important. To bridge any knowledge gaps DGCA approved bridge courses in these subjects may become necessary during pilot training. While this move significantly broadens access stakeholders in aviation have raised concerns about maintaining training quality and safety standards. The aviation sector continues to debate how to implement the change without compromising rigor.

Yes  arts and commerce students could soon become eligible to pursue a Commercial Pilot Licence in India thanks to the DGCA’s proposed reform. Until the law is officially amended however the traditional requirement of physics and maths in Class 12 still applies.
