The Hindu
On Sunday, Air India asked him to give his exam next month.
Air India has said Navneet Singh, who was part of the four-member team that won India's first-ever lawn bowls medal at the Commonwealth Games, can appear next month for the pilot entrance exam scheduled for Sunday.
PTI had reported on Saturday that Delhi-based Singh, who aspires to be a commercial pilot, will be missing Air India's entrance exam on Sunday.
Singh is the youngest member of the quartet that secured the silver medal on Saturday.
"I recently got my commercial pilot licence and I have an exam with Air India tomorrow but I can't reach there. Now that we finally have a medal, it is okay," Singh told PTI after India lost the men's four finals to Northern Ireland.
On Sunday, Air India announced a relief to Singh, asking him to come next month for his exam.
"Congratulations Navneet on winning Silver at the #CWG2022. We are happy to inform that you can appear for the exam next month and a communication on this has already been sent to you. Best wishes & keep our Flag flying high," the airline tweeted.
The silver medal following the gold-winning effort from the women's team has capped off a potentially game changing performance for India at the Games.
