What else it publishes
Read from student-reported living costs at Gondia and the operator's own cadet page, read 14 June 2026, checked 15 June 2026.
What it does not publish
- Tax on the tuition is quoted as applicable, with no amount. Ask for the figure in writing before you pay.
- The operator publishes no breakdown of the cadet route into its licence and type-rating halves, so the two cannot be compared line by line.
Where this sits
2nd lowest of the 17 schools that publish their own licence fee. The middle fee is ₹54,85,050.
How to apply
- Step 1. Apply direct for the integrated licence, meeting the operator's own entrance and medical requirements
- Step 2. Or go through an airline's cadet selection, which places you here afterwards.
Whichever school you choose, the licence needs a DGCA Class 1 medical, a DGCA Computer Number and five theory papers from the DGCA exam syllabus, practised in the DGCA question bank and under a timed mock test.
Common questions
Is NFTI the same thing as CAE?
The Gondia institute is operated by CAE, and both names attach to the same campus, which is why a search throws up two sets of pages for one place. The fees above come from the operator's own pages for that campus.
Which of the two published prices applies to me?
The smaller one if you are self-funding a licence and the larger one if you are selected onto the airline cadet programme that runs through this campus. They are separate products, not a base price and an upgrade.
Are living costs really excluded?
Yes, and the operator says so itself. Gondia is where you live for the length of the course, so budget the accommodation and meals line as a real cost rather than treating the tuition as the whole bill.
