Question
Am currently pursuing my B.E in mechanical from Anna University (India).This being my final year, am planning to shape my career. From the very beginning i was always interested in pilot training, but never got the correct information regarding where and how to start from. i want to know how should i proceed like all the formalities,fee structure,duration and which flying academy to apply to? What about the future prospects? What is the eligibility criteria?

Answer
Hello Vishesh,
I am in need of more specific information to answer your questions.  I can only answer questions regarding pilot training in the US.  Is this where you want to receive training?  Are you looking to obtain just a license to fly or are you looking for a career with the airlines?  Do you have a college degree? Do you have any experience?
All these points must be addressed before I can help you.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Dave
