Integrated Pilot
Mentorship Program.

A structured, end-to-end CPL programme — DGCA ground school and mentorship in Bangalore, flying training through vetted partner flying schools abroad, and licence conversion on return — guided by licensed pilots who have done it themselves. Aerogenesis is a ground-training and mentorship academy; flying training itself is conducted by our partner flying schools.

Estimates only, not guarantees — actual duration and cost depend on medicals, exam attempts, visa processing and flying-school availability.

Eligibility

Who this is for.

Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics is the standard route. Commerce and Arts students without those subjects can still qualify through the NIOS route — see our full NIOS eligibility guide for exactly how that works. You'll also need a DGCA Class 2 medical to begin, and a Class 1 medical before flying training; we guide you through both.

The Core Principle

Most students waste
6 to 12 months.

They complete one step, then figure out the next. Medical after ground school. Visa after medical. Exams after returning from abroad. Each gap costs months — and once flying recency expires, it costs lakhs. The IPMP runs three to four workstreams in parallel from Day 1 — so nothing waits for anything else.
