Jimmygill, one more question, if I complete just the PPL abroad, get a commonwealth rt then I can return to india and apply for the cpl exams- the CPLG, also convert my rt licence directly to indian rt right?
Unfortunately No.
Some applicants have been reporting that they demand a CPL from contracting Common Wealth state for conversion.
Don't get intimidated by the failure rate, the Indian RT is not that difficult to get.
