Yes your stream in school can influence your options to become a pilot in India but recent policy changes have introduced more flexibility.

Traditional Requirements

Historically aspiring pilots were required to have completed their 10+2 education with Physics and Mathematics (PCM) as compulsory subjects. This was due to the technical nature of aviation training which necessitates a strong foundation in these subjects.

Recent Policy Changes

In May 2025, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approved a proposal to allow students from the Arts and Commerce streams to pursue a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). This marks a significant shift from the previous policy that restricted CPL training to students with a science background.

However, this change is still pending final approval from the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Once implemented, it will open up new opportunities for students from diverse academic backgrounds to enter the aviation field.

Bridging Courses for Non-Science Students

For students from the Arts or Commerce streams who wish to pursue pilot training the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) offers bridging courses in Physics and Mathematics. These courses are designed to provide the necessary foundational knowledge required for pilot training programs.

While your stream in school can affect your initial eligibility to become a pilot recent policy changes and available bridging courses have made it more accessible for students from non science backgrounds to pursue a career in aviation. It's advisable to stay informed about the latest regulations and consider enrolling in bridging courses if necessary. Consulting with aviation training institutes can also provide personalized guidance based on your academic background.
