1. My first bit of advice if you are a 4th year university student you should finish your degree. Don't do any extra engineering courses. Finish what you are doing and start your flying training straight away. I gather you are from India?? You are best doing your flight training in a foreign country such as Australia! We have a large percentage of Indian's doing their pilot training here. You will be able to find some good flight schools in the cities of Brisbane, Perth & Adelaide. I am not sure how the system works over there but do the research and get enrolled in a flying school oversees and you will be qualifed to fly within 1 - 2 years!
2. ICAO rules state that you must be able to clearly speak and understand the english language in order to become a pilot. I suggest you master english first, otherwise you will have a very difficult time becoming a pilot.
3. First you must learn how to speak, read and write English. I suggest you learn that first!
4. Its interesting that you are an Infy select with such language skills. At least as a future engineer you need to improve on your communication and maybe learn to observe the difference between a PC keyboard and a cellphone keypad. As someone had answered above, getting a CPL from Australia is the cheapest option for Indians. Or if you are ready for the local options, check the link below. Di i &sr ur kwstn?
