Rookie in india looking for guidance

HI Folks, my maiden post here on this site. Like many other posts, this too is centered around finding the right place to do my flight training subject to numerous factors.

I write in from India, am 26 and am not from a science academic background, but am greatly interested in flying. Am open to training locations outside of India and have a budget in the region of say US$ 40,000 for my course fees.

Would also be looking at getting employment in the Indian region on completion of the course, so the necessary conversion courses too need to be kept in mind.


Have some queries:
  • Would I be able to get my PPL, Instrument Rating and Commercial Multi Engine rating in say 12 - 15 months time? Is this too short a time frame.
  • Is my budget of US$ 40,000 enough or would I still be short of funds?
  • Would my lack of science back ground prove to be a hassle or would I still be able to give this a shot?
  • Would my age prove to be a hassle
  • Based on the above which place would be a good bet for me
