Yes Class 12th Is Required and Here’s Why

To begin training for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in India you must have completed Class 12th from a recognized board. The standard requirement is that your Class 12th education must include Physics and Mathematics (PCM) with most sources requesting a minimum of around 50% marks in these subjects  Additionally aspiring candidates must meet age requirements: the minimum age to start training is generally 16 years (for Student Pilot License or SPL) while one must be 18 years or older to be issued a CPL 

What If I Didn’t Study PCM in 12th?

If you didn't study Physics and Mathematics in Class 12th there's still hope You can qualify by taking these subjects through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) or another open board an accepted alternative by DGCA to meet the eligibility criteria  However, an important change is underway: the DGCA has proposed allowing students from arts and commerce streams, who didn’t study PCM to pursue CPL training though this is currently a draft proposal pending final approval from the Ministry of Civil Aviation Until such a rule is officially enacted, the PCM requirement remains mandatory.

Summary

  • Yes, completing Class 12th is mandatory to become a pilot in India.

  • You must have studied Physics and Mathematics in Class 12th to be eligible for CPL training.

  • Alternative pathways, such as NIOS, allow candidates without PCM in school to meet the requirements.

  • New policy proposals may soon allow broader eligibility, but these are not yet in force.
