Should I consider NRI quota for BDS in Telangana?

Ans: Hello Dear.
Your son can be admitted to the commercial pilot course after his 12th (i.e. +2 grade) with MPCB subjects. He must follow the course's guidelines and percentile requirements. It would be suggested that one should take the admission immediately after the 12th. The future of the commercial pilot is very bright provided one should have a keen interest in it. Many students initially choose this profession, but later they get disappointed. Before choosing such courses, one should take immense care. The lifestyle of a commercial pilot is different than that of a normal person. It would be better to check the physical fitness, mental fitness, and other parameters of your son before choosing this career.
Best of luck to your son for the upcoming examination and his bright future.
