The cost of the course to become a cabin crew or air hostess after your 12th grade in India depends on the institute duration curriculum and city. According to AME CET typical fees for a full fledged cabin crew/air hostess course can span INR 50,000 to INR 2,50,000 or more.
Duration & depth of training: Shorter/basic courses (3-6 months) charge around INR 50,000 to INR 1,00,000.
Comprehensive programmes including grooming communication first aid in flight service and personality development might cost INR 1,00,000 to INR 2,50,000+.
Location of institute infrastructure placement support and brand affect cost.
Additional expenses like uniforms travel accommodation (for training away from home) may add to total cost.
The air hostess course duration and fees go hand in hand. Many institutes run courses for 6 to 12 months that fall into the INR 90,000 to INR 1,75,000 bracket in cities like Ahmedabad. Shorter 3- to 6-month courses might be less expensive but may offer less depth. For example one centre lists roughly INR 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh in Guwahati for full course.
This investment in your career is absolutely worthwhile if your aim is to step into aviation as a cabin crew. To make the best choice:
Check the institute's placement record (how many graduates got airline jobs).
Confirm the fee breakup: Is the quoted fee inclusive of all materials uniforms and exam/placement support
See if the institute offers scholarships or instalment payment options. AME CET mentions scholarships for top candidates.
Visit the campus (if possible) or attend an info session to assess infrastructure faculty & facilities.
