Is it possible to become a pilot after completing civil engineering?
I prefer It is tough because if you completed your Engineering means you spend a good amount of time in the Degree so at least you reached 21 or 22 years of old.it is a major draw back for pilot in this new era, because Airlines need pilots with min of 7000 - 10000 hrs of flying hours and that guy should be lesser that 30 yrs of old.why i am saying all these according to new rules Pilot cannot exceed 1000 hrs of flying in one year, so if you started to become a pilot after engineering means these eligibility will take you to 30 -35 years of oldi recommend if you are pursuing the Engineering and Pilot career values you more means…Drop Engineering and Join Pilot Training.Good Luck
I am currently an engineering student. I want to become a pilot once I’m done with my degree. How do I pursue my CPL in India and then settle in London? Is that possible?
Koi foreigner ki baat maat suno. Ye log chahta hain ki tum Australia jao, aur unke school se ppl karo. Aur baad mein paastao. No use.If you become a pilot in anywhere in world, no Airline in world will employ you except India. Every airline recruits fresher pilots of their own nationals. You can get trained from Australia or Canada, but you will have to convert that license into Indian License, pass Indian Exams as per DGCA , pass RTR. The amount of money time and effort you will loose to get an Indian license, you may have to give up by the time for frustration after wasting 50 lac of rupees.Once you are employed in any Airline in India, have lot of experience, then you can move to anywhere in world. Below 5000 hours of jet experience, No airline like Emirates , British Airways will not take you.You will have to work in India only for the first 10 years of your career. It is your choice if you want to go to Australia and aapna paisa baarbad karo.

Can I be a pilot after engineering?
Yes, you can become a Pilot after Engineering, but if you really have a passion for flying, you can do your Commercial Pilot License before Engineering. Maybe, immediately after your 10+2 PCM.Start early, so that you can cover great distance in your career. Being an airline pilot can lead to a lucrative paycheck. While the average median salary for airline and commercial pilots in 2017 was close to $112,000, the more experienced and versatile a pilot is, the higher the potential earnings. In addition to work as a commercial pilot, some pilots take on charters or private plane services, which can boost earnings even higher. Some pilots also find side jobs working as flight instructors. There r lots of allowances and benefits.It is easy to find an international job with international base, for a commercial airline pilot. There r plenty of job opportunities in the gulf, and throughout the world. More airplanes, less pilots.Many students have a passion for flying and opt for the profession for the sense of power and freedom it provides them. Very few other professions provide an opportunity to see the world from the sky, and as such, the role holds great appeal to those who have a sense of adventure, who enjoy seeing new places and experiencing new things, and continually meeting new people. There is glamor and appeal in the job of a pilot. Pilots are required to retire by age 65, after which, they have lots of ground instructor jobs or management jobs or consultancy jobs to choose from.

In addition to this it has its own ATC(Air traffic control), Uncontrolled airbase(No specific time for arrival or departure), almost 1:1 student instructor ratio. It also provide good placement assistance.For more information you can visit Academy of Carver Aviation Pvt.

If I want to be an airline pilot in India after my B.Tech degree, how do I start? Should I be taking flying lessons while pursuing my B.Tech degree?
As a B.Tech student I’m guessing you already have the basic math and physics knowledge you need in order to start airline pilot training. But the procedure is not different for anyone. No course or degree makes the process of becoming an airline pilot any different, easy or difficult.I would first recommend you to give your 100% to your B.Tech, your B.Tech marks could also be considered during selection process in the flight school.While you’re doing your B.Tech, get a full body check up from a doctor and see if there is any health related obstruction towards you being a pilot and then work towards it. Physical fitness is a must and that’s the only thing you need to think about right now. I recommend going to a DGCA certified medical practitioner and getting a class 2 medical.If you still really want to do something related to it now, then go online and give psychometric tests. These are important tests and a part of selection process in both flying schools and airlines.In the final semester of your graduation, you should start checking out entrance exam application dates and aptitude tests application dates for the flying school you want to get your training from. Visit a national bank and enquire about loans if you need one (at IGRUA you pay 42 lakhs and 15 lakhs for type rating to another institute). Currently there is only one flying school in India which is performing extremely well and it’s IGRUA. The other best option is Chimes Aviation.You need to go for their entrance test, aptitude test, interview and all other things that they ask for when you submit the application. You can also go for the safer option of going for the Indigo Cadet Program.From here on, they will guide you towards everything, for more questions about aviation check out my other answers on Quora.
