Can I take advantage of student discounts with Indian airlines if just passed out from college?
Within the next few months, I have to fly to Hyderabad for a job. My college will have finished by then. It will have finished in July precisely. But officially my Identity card doesn't expire until August.
So can I use this ID card as a proof of me being a student?
Also if I can manage a bona fide letter from my college, will the airline company consider it?
Since I have never travelled via an air-plane before, I am ignorant about the customs.
Also, how should I proceed with booking a ticket on-line on student booking scheme?

Technically, as long as the ID stating you are a student is valid, and your status hasn't changed, you can claim student benefits.
An airplane is just another mode of transport. So if the airline that you wish to travel with has such a student scheme, then your student ID should be enough of a proof for them, but again, they are the only ones who can confirm this.
Regarding your query as to how to proceed with booking via the scheme, that is something you will have to find out yourself as firstly you have not mentioned which airline you are planning on flying with, and secondly, if there does exist such a scheme that the airline subscribes to, it should be mentioned on their website, or at worst, info can be obtained by calling their Customer Service.
I would also like to state that I believe this is not a question fit for [travel.se], and I have flagged it as such. But if it is ok'd by the Mods, then my answer stands true to the best of my knowledge!
