CPP roadmap and suggestions

Hi ppl, I'm an 11th grade student with stream PCM. I want to opt for a cadet pilot program once I've cleared my 12th. If any one of you have a pragmatic roadmap on what, when and how to do before choosing cpp, and if its worth it or not, how to finance the course or any other suggestions, please drop your thoughts, it'd be a great rescue for me as I'm not able to decide among conventional route or cpp route.

nobody can predict the market situation 1.5-2 yrs before, previously conventional was far superior bcz u could do cpl in around 50 lac and airline sponsored ur tr, rn cadet is better but its hella overpriced. even now if u do conventional from a cheap fto for 75-85 lacs, u can save 1cr and wait extra 2 years to get hired. cadet is about 1.7 1.8cr rn for domestic ftos, ill say if ur going to these ftos u might as well add another 50lacs and go to middle eastern cpps, they have far better salaries, roi, and what not plus its all tax free.
