The short answer is no flying schools vary widely in their admission processes depending on their regulatory framework type of program and country.
In India the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) does not administer a centralized national level entrance exam for admissions into flight schools. Instead schools follow their own admission criteria:
Many require a 10+2 (Physics Mathematics English) qualification medical fitness and sometimes an aptitude test or interview assessing reasoning communication and basic mathematics.
Some flying schools participate in national level exams like Pilot CET where performance can lead to entry or scholarships these are not mandated by the DGCA .
In other countries like the U.S. the model differs:
Flight schools regulated under FAA Part 61 generally don’t administer formal entrance exams. Admissions are more flexible focused on checking eligibility and guiding students to pass standardized FAA knowledge tests independently.
Part 141 schools by contrast operate under more structured curricula. Some have the authority to conduct stage checks or ground tests internally by certified instructors (known as check instructors ) but key knowledge exams and final checkrides are still regulated by the FAA or designated examiners
Thus while some schools especially prestigious or government affiliated ones may conduct their own entrance exams it s not universal. Many rely on national tests regulatory body exams or standardized protocols instead.
