A Baramati academy that publishes a signable CPL package sheet with the hours, the instalments and the exclusions all printed on it, and dates the sheet one month at a time.
Carver Aviation flies from Baramati in Maharashtra and it is one of the few schools in this directory whose price arrives as a document rather than as a conversation. Its CPL package sheet is a public PDF linked from its own disclosures page, it names the hours it buys, it lists what you still pay for separately, and it carries a signature block for a student or a guardian.
The sheet is headed valid for a period of one month, which is unusually honest and also a warning: a quotation with a one month life is a quotation that will be reissued, so the figure below is the one that was on the page on the day it was read and not a promise about the day you enrol.
The other thing worth knowing before you budget is that the academy says plainly it does not provide accommodation, and the programme requires you to live in Baramati for its duration. Food, transport and a room are yours to find and yours to pay for, and none of that sits inside the package.
The regulator prints approval 05/2015 against this organisation, records its ownership as Private Ltd, and gives the approval as valid to 29 April 2029.
The DGCA list records 9 single engine and 1 multi engine, with types Cessna 172, Cessna 172S, Cessna 152 and Partenavia 68C. The school's own FTO Information disclosure (https://carveraviation.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/FTO-Information.pdf) records 9 single engine described only as Cessna 172, and 1 multi engine Partenavia P68C. The counts agree; the school's sheet does not mention the Cessna 152 the regulator lists. Both are recorded as found.

DGCA ranking, 1 April 2026 edition: Category B, printed at serial 2. It was Category C in the 30 September 2025 edition, so this is a move in the regulator's own letters between the two.
The regulator publishes a letter and a serial number and no score at all, so there is nothing behind the letter to inspect and nothing here to rank schools against each other by. The bands the letters come from, and how many organisations sit in each on this edition, are set out on the flying schools in India index.

Every figure above: read from the academy's own CPL package PDF, linked from its public disclosures page, checked 8 September 2026.
| How far to trust it | What the source says |
|---|---|
| Published, and inside the figure | Registration and insurance fees; SPL and FRTOL ground classes; pre-flight, standardization and all subject ground classes; 20 hours simulator (10 single engine, 10 multi engine); books and flying kit; library use; two sets of uniform; 200 hours of flying training, being 185 single engine and 15 multi engine. |
| Published, and inside the figure | Paid as Rs 2,50,000 at enrolment plus five instalments of Rs 11,30,000. |
| Published, and outside the figure | Aircraft endorsement, SPL and FRTOL licence charges paid directly to DGCA on Bharatkosh; DGCA examination fees; medical examination fees; outside airfield landing and RNFC charges; food, transport and hostel, which the academy says it does not provide; psychoactive, breath analyser and alcohol testing charges; any hours flown beyond the 200 hour minimum, charged at the ongoing flying rate. |
Age 18 on the date of application, 10+2 with at least 50 percent in Physics, Mathematics and English, and a DGCA medical fitness certificate under Rule 39B. New batches commence quarterly, on average 6 to 9 CPL intake sessions a year, with 15 to 20 cadets a batch. The published induction SOP (circular 01/2026, dated 17 June 2026) adds document scrutiny and verification, a parent or guardian orientation session, and an in-house drug and substance abuse screening before training starts. The programme is full time and requires the cadet to live in Baramati; the academy does not provide accommodation. No written entrance examination is described.
The academy publishes no cost at all for the food, transport and room it says it does not provide, so the largest uncosted item on this page is where you will live.
Hours flown beyond the two hundred hour minimum are charged at the ongoing flying rate, and that rate is not printed on the package sheet.
Nothing above is the whole cost of becoming a pilot. Our pilot training cost in India page has the full stack from the medicals to the type rating, and CPL course fees in India puts this school's licence figure next to the rest of the market.
No, and the academy says so rather than leaving you to find out. The programme is full time in Baramati and the academy does not provide accommodation, so a room, food and daily transport are a separate budget you build yourself.
Because it is a quotation rather than a tariff. The academy reissues it, and an older sheet is still reachable from the same public page, so confirm which sheet applies to the batch you are joining before you sign anything.
Its own disclosure sheet and the regulator's list agree on the counts and disagree on one type. Both readings are set out on this page, because a fleet a student can actually get an hour on is more useful than a tidy single answer.
