Science till 10th only? You can still be a pilot
New Delhi: Soon, almost anyone who has cleared Class XII could be eligible to become a pilot irrespective of which stream the person chose after Class X — arts, commerce or science.
Existing rules stipulate that a student should have completed Class XII with physics and maths as compulsory subjects for becoming a flier.
Now, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has recommended that anyone who has passed Class X with physics and maths — which almost all do — and then completed Class XII from any stream be considered eligible for becoming a pilot.
The only condition the new DGCA recommendation lays down is that students must have compulsorily studied physics as part of science in Class X — and not home science in place of physics, as is the option in some boards.
DGCA has sent this recommendation to the aviation ministry for clearance by minister Praful Patel.
