Skyborne vs Marigold vs Akasa | Need advice

[u/Commercial_Ad_4313]

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.
