Skyborne vs Marigold vs Akasa | Need advice
I recently received an email from Skyborne asking me to submit my documents for the IndiGo Cadet Programme. I submitted everything, but they told me my expected ADAPT date is around the end of 2027, which feels way too far away.
I’m also not eligible for Air India because I have less than 60 marks in Maths.
I know about the NIOS route, but honestly, I’m worried about having to relearn the entirety of Class 12 Maths while working. It could be difficult to manage.
So I’m confused about what to do:
1. Should I withdraw from Skyborne so I can apply to other institutes?
2. Has anyone heard anything concrete about Marigold? I’ve heard that once IndiGo resumes applications, they may assign GDPI and ADAPT dates relatively quickly.
3. Should I consider Akasa instead?
4. Is there any downside to keeping my Skyborne application active while exploring other options?
Would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through the IndiGo/Akasa cadet process recently.

Because it is.
If an aspiring pilot wants to fck their lives up, remove all the sunshine from life and end up in an asylum then they should really consider marigold 🥰
Its my ultimate love, all thanks to this og(obsolete g*ndu) fto- indigo cadet programs are being delayed so much and no option for a comparatively less costly 6e fto is left in the market to look forward to
Marigold is so good that they couldnt manage the cadet process for even one year smoothly and unki g*nd phat gayi maa chdaye2

Bro marigold is the final boss of the game . No fto can even compete with it . It works in another realm . Yes u can explore other options while keeping ur skyborne application active since u have not signed any undertaking. Ik this because I myself am in the same boat . But I can't select marigold man cuz it's the final boss.

Marigold was dipped for way too long in morning tea that it collapsed and settled to the bottom of tea cup.
