Hi Sreenidhi.
The height limitation of 5ft 2 is a firm limit and you will not meet eligibility requirements for this scheme. There are other schemes that provide opportunites with other airlines which may have different limits depending on the aircraft you would be flying.
Look around for different opportunities and do not give up on the idea of being a pilot. This is not the only way.
We wish you luck.
