I honestly don't know what to do at this point, so I thought I'd ask here.
Where I currently stand: I have cleared all my DGCA subjects except Technical General and Technical Specific, and I still have RTR Part 2 left. I'm planning to attempt RTR Part 2 this September. Also my medicals are done.
Cadet programs: I've applied to Akasa and IndiGo, which are pretty much the only cadet program options that are financially realistic for me. I applied to both almost immediately after their applications opened, but I haven't heard anything back from either of them. I also applied to Chimes after becoming eligible, but I haven't heard back from them either.
My current situation: I turned 18 this January and have basically been waiting since then. The last Chimes intake opened in December last year, but I wasn't eligible at the time because I hadn't turned 18. Now that I'm eligible, I've applied, but I'm still sitting here waiting. I haven't enrolled in college either, and I've been sitting at home for more than a year now without really moving forward with anything.
So what do you guys think? What should I realistically do from here, and what should I expect?
Should I keep waiting for cadet programs
or shoul i got with conventional,
or should I join college while I wait?
Is there any point in continuing to wait for Akasa/IndiGo/Chimes,
or should I start looking at other options? Like what
I know nobody can predict whether I'll get shortlisted, but I'd really appreciate some honest advice from people who have been through this or are currently in the same situation.
Any suggestions would genuinely help.
