Three Attempts per Year The Pilot Common Entrance Test (Pilot CET) is held three times annually. You're allowed to participate in all three sessions, and your highest score across these attempts will be used for counselling purposes.
Extended Score Validity Once you secure a Pilot CET score it remains valid for three years. That means even if you don’t immediately apply or secure admission, you still have the flexibility to leverage that score for up to three years later.
Age Eligibility Reminder Although your question focuses on attempts, it’s worth noting that to be admitted using Pilot CET results, you must fall within the age range of 17 to 35 years at the time of admission.
Strategic Flexibility
The three attempt structure per year combined with the three year validity effectively gives candidates up to nine opportunities to sit the exam (across three years) if they plan well and remain eligible.
This structure helps you optimize performance you can take the time to refresh or improve before the next attempt knowing prior scores will still count.
Let’s say you’re 18 now:
Year 1: You take Pilot CET three times you perform best in the second attempt.
Year 2 and 3: You could improve your score further in up to six more attempts if needed.
At Age 21, you’re still within eligibility and can use your best score of nine attempts during counselling.
You’re entitled to three attempts per year and your best result is what matters not the total number of tries. Plus since your score is valid for three years you have ample opportunity to maximize your performance.
