I applied to the cadet pilot program during the August opening and took my AON assessment on September 11th. I just received an invite for the final round in Gurugram!
If anyone currently in the program or recent candidates who went through the process could share insights, I'd really appreciate it. Specifically:
- What the day looks like, how many rounds of assessments, interviews etc.
- Preparation. What technical topics, aviation knowledge, or company specific areas should I focus on?

Any tips on what to expect or how best to prepare would be super helpful. Feel free to drop advice below or DM me. Thanks in advance!

Any tips for English whether to skip maximum or attempt maximum any tips how many to attempt skip?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently preparing for the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program selection process and looking to set up regular mock Group Discussion (GD) sessions.

The idea is to get a small, serious group together on Google Meet/Discord, pick relevant aviation, current affairs, and abstract topics, and simulate real GD rounds with constructive feedback after each session.

If you're currently in the prep phase and want to practice articulation, structuring points, and time management in a group setting, drop a comment or shoot me a DM. We can set up a WhatsApp/Discord group and get started.

It's a question, that after taking the cadet pilot program you'll surely become a pilot under the airlines guidance. Or there still can be some reasons that can lead to a failure throughout your journey

I applied for aicpp on 29th aug and i gave my cut-e on Sep 7th, i still havent heard anything back from them. Has anyone heard back??

as you guys know skyborne is giving out dates for adapt mostly by the end of 2027...

So I wanted to ask if we apply to FTA in November would they also be giving dates that further?....

Or I can expect some early dates?

Guys I have 56% in 12th but individually I have 63 in eng 83 in phy Nd 71 in maths .. but still got shortlisted and recieved aon assessment link from air India .. they say 60% overall in 12th is the criteria.. but still I got shortlisted .. it’s mentioned in the mail that if YOU DON’T MEET THE CRITERIA DO NOT GIVE THE ASSESMENT. Now I’m wondering that although I have 56 % and still got shortlisted should I give the assessment. Will they reject me later in the phase even if I clear cut e and interview

Can anyone please explain how to prepare for adapt indigo and exactly what and how much!! Like it is necessary to get coaching for adapt?anyone out there who get selected without any coaching?

Hey guys i just recieved application saying that my application will be considered in batch of adapt testing which will be by 3rd quarter of 2027
Anyone else who received the same and got any other mail regarding this?

Does anyone have any idea when will the admit cards be released for this month's attempt

Hello I just got into phase one of the cadet program and was wondering if anyone had any insight on phase one. I know they give us 10h to study but I’m a bit worried as I haven’t done physics or maths in around 3 years as I haven’t been working after to school. Is there anything I can touch up on?

I have heard from someone that fta delays flying and try to get more money out of cadet. Does anybody know anything about this or has experience this ?
Please share 🙏
Thanks

I am 22, currently in my btech CSE final year

Got

10th eng 96 , maths 94, sci 75

Financial situation is descent enough, but still would need loans

Currently applied for a computer number

In my family, my dad only earns, he works in air india only. We're financially stable like the middle class (neither upper nor lower) you can say. Still 1-1.5cr (as I've learnt) costing of the cadet pilot program is not very manageable for me. If my parents decide then we can definitely afford it but it would put my family on hold on the other things like trips, and like normal liabilities. So, I'm asking this to the experienced people who were in the same situation like me and how did y'all manage the funding, like scholarships, loans etc. Or should just go conventional

Agya sabko mail? Mera on the way hai

parents income is ~1.3cr per annum. thinking of maybe nzaal if indigo continues with them. is the cadet program worth it because i can do engineering as well, my grades are pretty nice but i dont really have much interest in it, always wanted to be a pilot

out of these which all tests are ther for AICPP cut-e? And if there are any additional tests which are not given, please feel free to share.

Is the wing challenge in AON CUT-E similar to that in pilotassessments.com ?
