Hi everyone,

I'm a PCB student and like most people around me, the expectation is to become doctor. But honestly, I don't feel interested in pursuing MBBS at all. My real interest is in becoming a pilot

The thing is, I have around 30 lakh INR that my family can arrange for my career. From what I've researched, pilot training in India can cost much more (sometimes 50-70 lakh or even higher) which is making me confused and stressed only option i have is conventional way to become pilot because cadet costs more then 1 cr so please give any solutions regarding this

So I went for my C1 in Feb to AFCME and the optho department asked me to bring a second opinion and so I did stating that I don’t have glaucoma or something. But they still gave me a PU lol but initially I knew I don’t have glaucoma so I’ll challenge them in appeal but man at this point I feel so low and it’s pointless to continue like I’ve applied for appeal and even received a reply from DGCA referring me to IAM but the same glaucoma thing happened with someone I know and he’s currently in blr rn but they keep stalling idk(like the first time he went to IAM His IOP was high so they asked 4 extra tests then when he got those extra tests after a week then they started saying your Cup disk ratio doesn’t match in all the reports) man this is lowkey depressing like This doctor whom certified me that “there is no glaucoma” hes a Padma shree awardee for glaucoma services.

I feel so lost even after ruining this much AIIMS RP CENTRE, all the eye hospitals waiting for the doctors etc etc before appeal.

Now I’ve received my appeal letter but man I don’t feel motivated it feels like it’s sucking off my energy. I’m having time and monetary loss(monetary loss can be restored but the time 😔).

At this point im having second thought if I should go to blr

In 2022 Air India under TATA embarked on an ambitious goal of transforming the airline and making it a key player. This included:

• Improving ground and air services like IFE, food, etc.
• Refurbishing all planes and getting newer ones.
• Lowering losses and increasing the profitability of the company.
• Increasing the number of passengers such as to India, via India to third country as transit and to get international-domestic-international.
• Increase the number of destinations to places like Jakarta, Dallas, Los Angeles, etc.

However Air India is currently going through a rough patch as losses have mounted and there’s pessimism over achieving the 2027 plan.

So now that the CEO is leaving, I’m curious to hear what you would do differently.

I did some research and saw CPL+ type rating makes upto 1cr sometimes but I think that's too much of a loan to repay later in the future so how much loan should u take to become a pilot so I can repay it easily in the future without having to worry?

so do i need 50% aggregate in pme (if i pass pme) or overall to get hired by a airline???
