Answer
Hi Hariharan,
I have check the web site for your college. It is located in India. I do not have inforrmation about India medical requirements for pilots. However I know that we have numerous Indian students here in USA. As per USA and FAA requirements your vision reqirements specify that you have to have vision corrected or uncorrected 20/20. That means you can wear glasses or contacts. So yes you can get your medical certificate either class 1, 2, 3 with your vision.

The best
