If I come from a commerce background, can I still apply to flight school now that the physics and maths requirement has been removed?

Yes, you can apply to flight school with a commerce background, as the DGCA no longer requires Physics and Mathematics at the 12th-grade level for Commercial Pilot License applicants. However, you must complete an approved bridge course in Physics and Mathematics from an institution like NIOS before taking the DGCA's CPL examination. Once you finish these subjects, you can move forward with pilot training and work toward obtaining your Commercial Pilot License. This change makes pilot training more accessible for students from different educational backgrounds.
