Worth preparing alongside

We cannot line IGRUA Entrance Exam up against other exams yet

This does not mean IGRUA Entrance Exam shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

Job profile & salary

Note

IGRUA does not recruit. The entrance leads to admission to a flying training course whose outcome is a Commercial Pilot Licence with Multi-Engine Endorsement and Instrument Rating. Employment as a pilot is a separate matter for airlines.

Type Rating Option

IGRUA states it has a tie-up with FSTC for type training on A320/B737/ATR-72/Q-400 at their Gurugram or Hyderabad centres, and that candidates who wish to undergo this training must indicate it at the time of filling the entrance form.
