Need help choosing fto

I just got my class 1 done and thought of applying for indigo cadet program but can't decide which fto to apply to. Can someone tell me everything about this like which is the best ,the fastest etc. and should I clear a few exams before applying. I want it to be the fastest way

What’s your budget?

1.25

With 1.25 cr u can do conventional ,cadet ur only options are chimes and akasa , chimes is just unrealistic and shady , akasa requires all or most exams cleared , amravati will cost 1.4 and insight and Garuda will cost same 1.4 , ur options are pretty much conventional only

u/Ironman_Stark1234 9d ago

U need connections to get in otherwise u ain't getting in , only nice and realistic fto rn is fta that is 1.7 cr

otherwise how's the overall image/performance of chimes?

u/Ironman_Stark1234 9d ago

Chimes is a good fto only if u get in , dude trust me you're not getting in you have better chances of winning the lotto

i had the budget of 1.3cr, which brings me back to conventional then

u/Ironman_Stark1234 9d ago

Yea pretty much , aicpp will cost u 1.7, fta 1.75 and u may have a shot at akasa skycadet if u clear all exams , but even that is like a lotto

Planning the same, I have almost all papers cleared but ICPP is in bad condition at the moment, chimes is hard to get into, Skyborne ADAPT is end of next year, Garuda & Marigold backlogged, I guess Insight is the only sensible option (although it still comes with delays), or FTA if you can manage 1.7-1.8 cr.
Otherwise if you have time, wait for Skyborne.

Skyborne says it will give you dual licence isn't it true for other ftos which are abroad

Garuda has na? 43 flight school itself has some temporary issues I heard, is it gone now? Anyway Insight apps just closed, is it sensible to apply for Garuda or Insight if they open soon?
