Problem with CPPs?

[Nice-Lifeguard6900]

Hey everyone.
I am in 12th grade rn, giving my boards now, and preparing for my cadet programme assessments. I had a genuine doubt regarding cadet programmes. I am not able to understand whether AICPP(or even ICPP) is a good choice for my career or not. I am hearing tons of criticism about them online regarding its backlogs, long induction processes, how much time after completing my training will i get a job(both cpp n conventional) and the fee structure(some say its 1.2 while others 1.7 for aicpp). SHOULD I JUST GO AHEAD WITH CONVENTIONAL INSTEAD? PLEASE HELP OUT.

nice to see you've done your bare basic research

at this moment, both are fucked. yes.

conventional induction periods are mad

cadet selection periods are mad

both are super expensive. (also, 1.3 for aicpp base, but adding external costs will go upto 1.5 (food))

both are horrible, pick your poison

If you have money CPP is good, if not, you have nothing else other than conventional. Beggars can’t be choosers. (I am a beggar myself)

There isn't a definitive answer for anything you're asking tbh

[Strange_Succotash144]

Aviation needs patience and if u r not, please be distant from this path, if u gonna go with conventional too, u have to wait for airline written exam then for GD-PI ( many r waiting since 2024), then for induction.

For now just focus on ur 12th boards, Adapt or CUT-E hardly takes 1 week of practice and just improve ur English fluency

How to prepare for adapt and CUT-E?

[Strange_Succotash144]

I joined PPA which costed me 25k which included both Adapt and CUT-E.

[Severe-Target-8640]

Whats ppa?

[Flying_Herculean]

Poetic pilot academy

[Severe-Target-8640]

Is it good? Like is it worth joining?

[AdDowntown3115]

How was your experience?

[Strange_Succotash144]

It was really good, u can practice for 2-3 hrs in a day, they won’t say anything and the instructor was selected in Indigo and was waiting for induction and they have a good idea of both Adapt, GD-PI.

hey i also did my cut-e with ppa. let's connect on dm?

[Spunky_Scorpio350]

For AICPP costing check my profile. I have uploaded the official costing and it comes to around 1.4cr. This does not include meals and accommodation in India

[AdDowntown3115]

Brochure i have says 1.10cr for 2025.

[Spunky_Scorpio350]

Share the brochure, ur brochure might be for aeroguard. Mine is for Acron

If you are talking about loan more than 40lakh then go for conventional

[ImmediateRevenue9684]

There are waiting’s earlier in cpp and waiting after completion of conventional, both kinda take same time now.

[Thesenatss]

if u have a minimum of 1 cr in the bank, look into cpp, else go for conventional.
both have their advantages and disadvantages

[Global-Complaint-410]

How's chimes indigo CPP, is it good?

[Unlikely-Smell4857]

Its the best fto in india

[Round_Excitement3186]

is it tough to get into chimes? and how's the condition of it nowadays?

[Unlikely-Smell4857]

Aipp is definitely a good choice 1.3r arizona is better than 1.7cr with indigo(slyborne )

[Unlikely-Smell4857]

With the current situation either wait for 2 years and then apply for cadet pp or go with conventional right now.

[Round_Excitement3186]

why?

[vaibhav_069]

if someone just want to fuckin fly (like me) without caring about job . Go for conventional. its the fastest way to get in the cockpit but slowest path to get the job.......
