Hi Mayank, My Daughter is in 12th Class (PCM), She is looking to become Pilot. What all options she can go with after 12th. Pls advise.

Ans: Mr Vivek…
There are various flying academies which impart flying and ground subject training in our country which can be looked up on the internet. Most of these get you ready for the licence and once you obtain it, you have to apply to the various airlines. The life of a pilot is glamorous and one has to remain fit physically and mentally to fly. One will have to spend anything between 25 to 40 lakhs to earn your wings in the civil world. The money thereafter is good but life isn’t so easy as is portrayed. As an afterthought, why doesn’t she try to join the Indian Air Force as a pilot?
All the best to her and happy landings!

Ans: Hi
Your daughter is right in 10th std. Please ask to focus only on the 10th syllabus and board exams.
First, she has to complete her 12th with JEE and state-level entrance examinations conducted for Engineering.
The liking/interest of students changes day by day. Even if she hates maths/computers she has to complete 12th science,
Tell her to wait for 2 years to think about the careers in which she is interested.
Later, when she is in mid 12th std, pl communicate with us again. Tell us about per progress in the studies. Then it would be possible for you to suggest the way as per your and her wish.
Best of luck for her upcoming 10th Board Exam.

If you are not satisfied with the reply, pl ask again without any hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
