As you have mentioned your desire to become an airline pilot, you need to get a commercial pilot license. This is known as CPL license, and to get this license you should undergo a pilot training and pass a government approved written and practical exam conducted by DGCA Government of India. To get this CPL license, you should enrol in a pilot training institute and these institutes in India are recognised and popular for this course.
  • Government training institute Bhubaneswar
