The official news from the global manager CAE OXFORD is here!
Fees hikes are for all the cadets! I would like the students studying there to confirm this!
CAE is doing a great job for GMR I think! Many might turn there if they offer right thing at right time at correct amount of fees.
BINGO CAE OXFORD!

Fee hikes are for real
Walk through the doors of CAE OXFORD NFTI GONDIA to lose love of flying
It will be made sure that each time you think of flying you think of a slow slow slow painful death

Our fellow aviator crossbase mentioned about the fee hike which is now officially being forced upon us,it's time to highlight the utter lack of ethics and professionalism in CAE.Cadets are contemplating judicial action against CAE.The TSA (Training and Service Agreement) formulated by CAE NFTI is a joke.It nowhere talks about the rise in fee due to fuel price hike and now when we go to the courts,they will have a lot to answer.We took loans,planned our finances according to the package given to us by CAE NFTI and nobody at CAE NFTI talked about rise in fee due to fuel price hike at the time of admission( and why would they....as we all know they lack professionalism).They now have introduced this new clause in the TSA for the new batches.It's a major lapse on their part.Ideally they should take the price hike(which would cost them 4-5 crores) for current batches as it would save them the embarassment which is coming their way very soon.It is not a big amount for a company like CAE but it can definitely save their reputation here in India which has already taken a hit due to the current situation at CAE NFTI.It's high time they realised that it's not a grocery store where they can just say" We're sorry...we will charge you 6 lakhs more...thank you come again".

If CAE wants rationalise the fee hike saying the fee hike is due to higher operational costs it better see the way their money is wasted by the assets are misutilised to satisfy the false egos of some officers that some posts are filled just to warm seats draw salaries of several lakhs of rupees and playing cards on desktops

Assuming your age is 18 years old I would suggest you to go and get a college degree first .
A pilots license is not equivalent to a degree and your educational qualification will always be 10+2 .
The Aviation scene in India is pretty bad at present with thousands of unemployed CPL holders waiting for their first opportunity . This wont change for a long time to come unless the price of Oil comes down drastically and the govt of India rationalises the taxes on the aviation sector .
They would also need a significant change in policy to encourage the sector
Lots of unemployed CPL holders are finding it difficult to get other jobs since they did not have a college degree .
Aviation is big financial risk . There are no garuntees in the Aviation sector .
I would say go to college get your degree and in the meantime observe how things change . Who knows perhaps things will change for the better in 2-3 years time

Fee hike and possible transfer
Those who stick with CAE Nfti will have to pay 38.5 lakhs to commence flying at
the institute but now there exists an option of transferring to Sabena ( Phoenix, AZ) for the same amount. The administration has also bought 4 new DA 40s to supplement the existing fleet, the last of which arrives end of September.
In theory thats what has been promised upto now. The plane to student ratio might decrease and some kids might transfer as well.. So take your pick gents.

If I was in your position I would take the opportunity with both hands and go abroad .
Not only will you finish much faster but you will also enjoy it a lot more than flying around in India .
But clear all your papers first including RT . That way the only thing you will have to do when you come back is give the skill test .
Remember though the cost of living in the US is much higher . So you will have to budget for that too .
Had they given this opportunity earlier you could have paid the fees directly to the academy in the US and save money on the 12.5% service tax .
The only thing that would stand in your way would be getting the US visa approved.........
I believe even CAE Oxford Aviation Academy does the same thing for its students where they go to phoenix to finish off the time building .

The CAE website says they are accepting applications for Lion Air? Was it there from the start or have they put it up recently? I thought only MSD had the contract to send pilots to Lion!

Been trying for a week+ to get a date for IR Renewal(on the DA42). Would normally have gone to IGRUA but that isn't happening due to unavoidable circumstances.
Turns out, all communication is routed through a fairly inept system, where nobody knows what paperwork is required or how much flying time is required. Answers ranged from "we don't know" to "we'll check and tell you" and finally, got this : "we confirmed its 45 mins, but because of *traffic*, it might increase to 1:15 or 1:20." Wow.
They went back on the dates that had been agreed upon for the test *twice*, each time ONE day prior to the date of travel, saying something about how the CFI needs a "refresher"(first time) and "unavoidable circumstances" the next. So much for professionalism.
I took up NFTI because i really had no option; but since this is such a frustrating, slow process I might as well wait and go elsewhere.
This, coming from someone who wasn't ever a part of NFTI. I can totally understand what you guys there must be going through.
Hope things improve.

Any basis of you commenting on Qatar program? Because as far as I know only one student was recruited by them, that too long time back. Nothing latest on Qatar yet.

Is the IndiGo cadet pilot scheme still existing? Are they still accepting applicants? There seems to be no update on the testimonials section of the NFTI website. Have most if not all of the IndiGo cadets been inducted as trainees?
