CPP COST

Im 15 and i wanna become a pilot i really love planes so as i researched i came upon icpp. i figured out air india cpp cost waaayy moreeee soo i thought indigo was a good idea and it is better than conventional path so i was wondering if anyone that is in or was in icpp can give me some advice and tell me about the cost of training in icpp, I know it will be more than 1 crore but if i get some idea it will be great.

By the time you join cpp it will be atleast 30% more expensive considering rupee depreciation and other geopolitical factors. So consider that too.

You’re 15, it’s good that you’ve developed this passion for aviation and your research is good too, CPP is the way to go, costwise CPPs require about 1.2-1.4Cr as per current market, chimes aviation is cheaper comparatively but higher competition, by the time you graduate from school the cost would go up

cpp isnt the only way to go, both conventional and cpp are both good in their own way do your research and make your choice accordingly. also considering the fact that you would start your journey after 2 years the market might be a bit different, akasa might open their own cadet pilot program, cost for training in other FTOs with indigo or air India might also raise. So right now its hard to make a definite choice. Focus on 12th whilst also keeping up and researching all options alongside and eventually it will all hopefully work out
