Math, weather, and geography are the best things to learn. Also get your pilot license early so you can gain more experience.

My father is a pilot and the subjects u need is Maths and for some reason Science, u can also take Geography as bonus. First u will get your PPL, after 35 hours of flight. Their after u can either buy your own plane or fly at any club... Good luck.

You need physics. Physics will teach you everything. I dont see where they came up with math, because if you study that, youll be a good navigator until you plow into the ground.
Physics will get you used to the real life forces on an aircrat, like g's, center of gravity and lift, stability, the way wings work, and a load of other useful stuff.
In america, we have many indians here for college, so it is possible for you to come here and learn, but you must get your citizenship before you can fly. I was born here and I am obviously american, but the tsa wouldnt let me fly until I showed them my birth certificate and drivers license.

Physics and math are by far your best choice, as there's lots of both in commercial aviation. You need to understand aerodynamics, navigation, powerplants, meteorology, etc. so physics and math will give you a good background. A good commercial pilot has to be intelligent but not necessarily intellectual. Most military and airline pilots in US, Canada, and Europe have a university degree these days.

Math classes, geometry and calc helps. I wouldn't worry about geography, when getting my licenses, i remember looking at maps, but it's not like you have to study geography to look at a map. If you are capable of taking weather classes, do so, it will help out in the long run. Good luck, and don't forget to have fun.

Math is a help. But becoming a commercial pilot is more about flight experience, so get your pilot's licence early, and start flying as much as you can in smaller planes.

If it is offered basic ground school would be the ticket. Baring that, weather, geography would be helpful.
