An Aligarh academy whose fee is a five word phrase inside a disclosure table, on a site whose every deep link returns an error unless you arrive by clicking.
Chetak Aviation trains at Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh and publishes its fee in the smallest form any school in this directory manages: a bare phrase inside the disclosure table on its home page, with no breakdown, no instalment plan and no statement of what it covers. That table is also where the academy prints an approval date that had already passed when this page was checked.
The site itself is difficult to cite and that is a practical problem for you and not only for us. It renders nothing without JavaScript, and its server has no fallback for deep links, so a direct request to the course page or the contact page returns an error. Those pages work only when you reach them by clicking inside the site after it has loaded, which is why this page links the academy's home page and nothing deeper.
The academy advertises a multi engine rating while its own disclosure table records no multi engine aircraft, and the regulator's list agrees that it holds none. That does not make the course impossible, since multi engine hours can be flown elsewhere, but it does make it a question to ask before you pay for a rating.
The regulator prints approval 01/2021 against this organisation, records its ownership as Society, and gives the approval as valid to 26 August 2026.
The DGCA list records 3 single engine and 0 multi engine, types Cessna 172 and Cessna 152. The school's own disclosure table records 4 single engine aircraft and NIL multi engine. The regulator's single engine count is one lower. Both are recorded as found. The school also advertises a Multi-Engine Rating course while declaring no multi engine aircraft of its own.
The site renders nothing without JavaScript, so a plain fetch of any of its pages returns an empty shell and every quotation on this page was read from the code the site ships to draw itself, checked 8 September 2026.

| Figures checked | 8 September 2026 |
DGCA ranking, 1 April 2026 edition: Category B, printed at serial 9. 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.
| What you pay for | Amount | What the figure is |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial pilot licence course, the school's own published total | ₹56,00,000Published | As the source prints it: Course fees 56 lakhs |
Commercial pilot licence course, the school's own published total: read from the academy's own home page, inside its regulator mandated disclosure table, checked 8 September 2026.
| How far to trust it | What the source says |
|---|---|
| Published, and inside the figure | The disclosure table gives the fee as one line with no breakdown. The same table says accommodation is available and that a cadet agreement exists. |
| Published, and outside the figure | Not stated. |
| Published, and outside the figure | The terms and conditions page says fees are paid according to the fee structure communicated at the time of admission and that the academy may revise training fees, course charges or administrative costs. |
The CPL page requires at least 18 years of age, 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics, a valid DGCA Class 1 Medical Certificate, and compliance with DGCA licensing requirements. No entrance test, interview or batch intake is published. The disclosure table gives minimum time to complete 200 hours as 8 months and maximum as 14 months, and says accommodation and placement assistance are available.
Registration Office: E-551, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Floor, Ramphal Chowk, Dwarka Sector 7, Manyavar Showroom Building, New Delhi 110075. This is an office address, not a flying base; the site's own disclosure table names Aligarh airport as the only operating base, which matches the DGCA list.
The academy does not say what its published fee covers, and its terms page reserves the right to revise training fees, course charges and administrative costs.
No instalment schedule, entrance test or batch calendar is published anywhere on the site.
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.
Because the deeper pages cannot be linked. The site's server returns an error for a direct request to any inner page, including the course and contact pages, so a link to one of them would be a link to an error. The home page is the only address that reliably answers.
Its own disclosure table prints a validity date that had already passed when this page was checked, and the regulator's list carries the same expiry for this organisation. The regulator's list is the one to check before you pay anybody, and it is linked from the directory index.
The academy advertises one. Neither its own disclosure table nor the regulator's list records a multi engine aircraft against it. Ask where those hours would be flown and on whose aircraft before you treat the rating as included.
