Can We Become a Pilot If We Don’t Have Maths?
“Where your childhood dream gently takes a Flight”
It’s one of the most common questions we hear: **Can we become a pilot if we dont have maths** in 12th grade? For years, this has been a major barrier for countless aspiring aviators from Commerce and Arts backgrounds. The answer, in 2025, is a resounding and definitive **YES**. Your dream of flying is not limited by your 12th-grade stream. A clear, DGCA-approved pathway exists to make you fully eligible, and this guide will walk you through every step.
The NIOS Bridge: Your Path to the Cockpit
The key to unlocking your pilot career lies with the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). The DGCA requires aspiring pilots to have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics. NIOS provides the perfect, officially recognized solution to meet this requirement.
What is NIOS?
NIOS is a legitimate educational board under the Government of India, just like CBSE or ICSE. Its certificates are accepted by the DGCA for pilot licensing, making it the standard pathway for students from non-science backgrounds.
How Does It Work?
You don’t need to repeat your entire 12th grade. You only need to register for and pass the On-Demand Examinations for two subjects: **Physics and Mathematics**. Once you have this NIOS pass certificate, you are academically eligible to become a pilot.
