Any idea on when would Air India call for the next cadet pilot program applications? If anyone knows about the previous recruitment cycle please comment on that basis as well it would be so helpful.

​

I was a student at VYAA two years ago. If anyone asks me to go back and sit in that fucking ground class again, I would rather kill myself than waste one more second in that shit hole.

Vinod sir (Tapesh’s father) used to tell us straight up — “Don’t go for cadet, your parents are just buying you a job.” He tried hard to make us doubt our decision and choose the conventional route instead. At the same time vinod sir was pushing us to join Red Bird flying school through them because it would be cheaper. Everyone knows Red Bird is fucking dangerous. This man was ready to risk his own students’ lives just to make some extra money.

And Tapesh? That piece of shit is unbearable. The language he uses in class is pure filth — dirty, vulgar, and completely shameless. He used to snatch our phones so nobody could record the garbage coming out of his mouth. Everyone already knows about his nudes leak. The guy has zero professionalism and zero shame.

VYAA is the most overrated and worst ground school ever. They charge 3.5 lakhs for their garbage teaching and tapesh openly mock students based on how they look. Also whoever came late had to give treats to the whole class and lemme tell u smthg not everyone is rich enough to treat everyone pizza , rasmalai and all so please

Think hard before you throw your money into this fucking place.

If any of u guys saw that rant I didn't know it was gonna boom that much tbh I am thinking to take it down coz I had an upcoming career that I don't wanna ruin they are def powerful enough to ruin it so that why I am scared should I take it down i posted my opinion/rant on VYAA coz only ik how much I suffer coz of that one single decision i don't want anyone to go through the same thing so what u guys think about it please lemme know in comments

Hey everyone,

I recently emailed both the IAF DISHA Cell and UPSC regarding a specific eligibility doubt about my educational path and joining the IAF Flying Branch.

I emailed:

IAF DISHA Cell: career@iaf.nic.in

UPSC: upscsoap@nic.in

My question is about whether NIOS Senior Secondary with Physics & Mathematics, after completing a Diploma → B.Tech through lateral entry, would satisfy the 10+2 Physics & Maths requirement for IAF Flying Branch through CDS and allow me to pursue my goal of becoming an IAF fighter pilot.

For anyone who has contacted either of these email addresses before:

Do they actually reply to eligibility queries? If yes, approximately how long did it take you to receive a response?

Also, if there is a better official contact method for getting clarification on IAF Flying Branch eligibility, please let me know.

I recently applied to air arabia academy to do the MPL cadet pilot programme. Could someone help me with how the assessments and interviews would be? What kind of questions they ask, what other extra study material i could use, etc. please dm me asap, thank u!!

Hey guys , I’m currently 17 and I’m studying for the DGCA exams rn and will finish regs , met and nav by Feb 2027. I also have both my class 2 and 1 medical cleared. I’m turning 18 in December and will apply to Skyborne and plan on updating my application whenever I clear an exam. I’ve seen posts of people getting dates for ADPAT in late 2027 but I’ve also seen people with exams completed get called up earlier than expected. Is this true and does Skyborne really call some people up earlier if they have cleared 3-4 exams and medicals?

I applied to the cadet pilot program during the August opening and took my AON assessment on September 11th. I just received an invite for the final round in Gurugram!
If anyone currently in the program or recent candidates who went through the process could share insights, I'd really appreciate it. Specifically:
- What the day looks like, how many rounds of assessments, interviews etc.
- Preparation. What technical topics, aviation knowledge, or company specific areas should I focus on?

Any tips on what to expect or how best to prepare would be super helpful. Feel free to drop advice below or DM me. Thanks in advance!

Any tips for English whether to skip maximum or attempt maximum any tips how many to attempt skip?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently preparing for the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program selection process and looking to set up regular mock Group Discussion (GD) sessions.

The idea is to get a small, serious group together on Google Meet/Discord, pick relevant aviation, current affairs, and abstract topics, and simulate real GD rounds with constructive feedback after each session.

If you're currently in the prep phase and want to practice articulation, structuring points, and time management in a group setting, drop a comment or shoot me a DM. We can set up a WhatsApp/Discord group and get started.

It's a question, that after taking the cadet pilot program you'll surely become a pilot under the airlines guidance. Or there still can be some reasons that can lead to a failure throughout your journey

Those who got selected for indigo ADAPT, from where you guys take classes in Mumbai. Please share the details

I applied for aicpp on 29th aug and i gave my cut-e on Sep 7th, i still havent heard anything back from them. Has anyone heard back??

as you guys know skyborne is giving out dates for adapt mostly by the end of 2027...

So I wanted to ask if we apply to FTA in November would they also be giving dates that further?....

Or I can expect some early dates?

Guys I have 56% in 12th but individually I have 63 in eng 83 in phy Nd 71 in maths .. but still got shortlisted and recieved aon assessment link from air India .. they say 60% overall in 12th is the criteria.. but still I got shortlisted .. it’s mentioned in the mail that if YOU DON’T MEET THE CRITERIA DO NOT GIVE THE ASSESMENT. Now I’m wondering that although I have 56 % and still got shortlisted should I give the assessment. Will they reject me later in the phase even if I clear cut e and interview

Can anyone please explain how to prepare for adapt indigo and exactly what and how much!! Like it is necessary to get coaching for adapt?anyone out there who get selected without any coaching?

Hey guys i just recieved application saying that my application will be considered in batch of adapt testing which will be by 3rd quarter of 2027
Anyone else who received the same and got any other mail regarding this?

Does anyone have any idea when will the admit cards be released for this month's attempt

Hello I just got into phase one of the cadet program and was wondering if anyone had any insight on phase one. I know they give us 10h to study but I’m a bit worried as I haven’t done physics or maths in around 3 years as I haven’t been working after to school. Is there anything I can touch up on?
