its still the same....even after two years nothing has changed. don't invest your money in a place like nfti. GMR school in hyderabad is kind of okay types. You can check up with them. GMR school is officially known as ASIA PACIFIC FLIGHT TRAINING ACADEMY LTD. The issue with APFT is that their fee structure is just too huge, when it comes to installments. For example the installments are approx ten lac rupees. Total fees around 38lacs. And if u don't pay them on time then they stop your flying and ground class. Even APFT has got issues, its just that nobody has made them public. The only good thing about APFT are the instructors and accommodation. The management is absolutely incompetent. They all talk big and do nothing. Text me for further queries. thank you.

Current scenario?
Hello everyone.
I was interested in joining the Indigo cadet program at Gondia. But on reading this post i felt a bit diffident. I understand that these opinions were well over 2 years old, hence i wanted to ask the current situation prevailing. Is there anyone out here who knows what the situation is like at Gondia currently?
Thanks a ton in advance!

APFT
i am a student of "APFT". my sincere advice to people who are planning on joining here is please dont waste you time here. the only reason most of the people are stuck here are because they have already paid up most of the money and the management would never refund it.
POOR MANAGEMENT, POOR HOSTEL MAINTENENCE, POOR FLIGHT PLANNING.
OUT OF THE THREE AIRCRAFTS ONE OF THEM(VT-GMR MOST OF THE TIME) IS ALWAYS DOWN. so there are basically only 2 aircrafts and due to the operations being carried out from an international airport there are always consstraints for startups.
EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO CLASSES OR NO FLYING PEOPLE ARE MADE TO SIT IDLE IN THE ACADEMY AND WASTE THEIR TIME AS THEY DONOT WANT PEOPLE TO GO BACK TO THE ACCOMODATION AND USE THE AIR CONDITIONING SO THAT THEY SAVE ON THEIR POWER BILL AND THIS HAPPENS 3 DAYS A WEEK WHERE YOU HAVE TO SIT IDLE THE WHOLE DAY.
FLYING IS VERY VERY HARD TO GET AS THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE
THE MANAGEMENT IS LEAST BOTHERED ABOUT THE INSTITUTE AND IT IS JUST A MONEY MAKING SCHEME WITHOUT A PLAN
BE READY FOR A FRUSTRATING 36 MONTHS IN THE INSTITUTE IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN

How hard is it to get in Indigo pilot program?
I'm thinking of joining Cae(Gondia) because it guarantees a job as a Indigo jfo upon completion of the Indigo pilot program. I was checking the program website(Apply - Indigo Pilot Program - Gondia) and it says that applicants will go through a written test (math,physics and english) , I was just wondering that how hard will be the test! And also what are the chances of me getting in the program in one try?

@anshul The CAE-IndiGo contract expires next year. They had signed a 5 year contract in 2011 and currently there is no news of an extension/update.
Considering it takes 48 months to complete the full course, you might wanna re-consider.
Also I think there is no guarantee of JFO. You still have to go through the CASS. You're exempted from the written exams though.

The CAE IndiGo contract has no bearing on the LOI issued by IndiGo . IndiGo will hire if you finish the program nothing more nothing less
And no it does not take 48 months ( 4 years ) to finish the program . It definitely does not take 48 months to fly 200 hours .
Passing the theory exams on the other hand is only under your control and has nothing do with either CAE or IndiGo
I'll admit there are no guarantees in the program but then there are no guarantees in the Aviation field whatsoever
And no cadet pilots dont need to undergo CASS because they will already have done with CASS and an interview before joining as a cadet pilot
After obtaining the CPL candidates proceed directly for type rating and join IndiGo all this time while drawing a salary as well ( something not available to outside CPL holders )

So if he enrolls now he'll get in, what if someone enrolls in 2017/18 will he get in too?
If IndiGo does not have a cadet pilot program in 2017/18 then obviously one cannot enrol in the program
You seem to be confusing the IndiGo cadet pilot program with the pilots who enter the normal CPL program at NFTI
The pilots who enter the normal CPL program are not treated any different to other CPL holders . They have to pass the written , CASS and interview in order to join IndiGo just like any other CPL holder
The IndiGo cadet pilots give a written exam , CASS and interview before being accepted as an IndiGo Cadet Pilot . They are given an IndiGo employee number and paid a monthly salary as well from day one they join NFTI . That is you are paid during the entire duration of your pilot training . But in return Cadets have to agree to sign a 5 year contract to fly with IndiGo

If someone want to enrol in 2017/2018 for the IndiGo Cadet Pilot program with CAE that means IndiGo should still have an active contract in place with CAE for training cadet pilots
If IndiGo does not have a cadet pilot program in 2017/18 then obviously one cannot enrol in the program
