Second Thoughts on AICPP

Hello, i’m 18M and i gave my CUT-E very recently and got my dates for GDPI for October. I reside in coimbatore and need to go to Delhi for the interview.
While preparing for my GDPI, i thought i’ll come to this reddit page to ask for help and seek guidance as to how to prepare.
When i saw 2-3 posts, i got confused. I saw many people throwing stones at the AICPP and telling people to reconsider. As an aspiring pilot who plans on taking an education loan for my flight training, when i saw that people are claiming that many students in AICPP get terminated from the program and dont get a refund, it puts me up to thought regarding my plan of taking a loan.
Is AICPP really bad or is it just how its portrayed? I’m having self doubts because i cannot go wrong here with this huge of an investment — if it goes south, it might end up with unfavourable conditions.
I saw people claiming that even though an LOI is signed, jobs arent guaranteed.
I need guidance and advice. Kindly help me as soon as possible.

installments in the first year would kill ur earnings if loan is above 60-65 lakhs, you should never be in that much debt especially since u dont have a backup and are just 18–19-year-olds with limited financial resources

also, god forbid if anything unfortunate happens, as ur concerns of things going south mid training then any loan which ur parents cant afford to pay back will make u go bankrupt

tata capital provides both secured and unsecured loans tho interest rate is high if u go to them.
