I want to know how to decide which type of flight controller to use nd do we need to code it from pc or its already been coded
And i will be making own frame using aluminum or fiber glass or carbon sheets listed by many people

The kk 2.1 is widely considered the best beginner's flight control board. It has an on board LCD screen for easy setup. It has relatively limited functionality e.g. no GPS but at it's price - 2100 in India, it is an excellent option for a beginner. The MultiWii board has been also suggested since you can add features like GPS later but it does not have a screen. For the transmitter, I would recommend one of these: Avionic RCB6i (Rs. 3000), FlySky FS-T6 (Rs. 3900), FlySky TH-9x (Rs. 5050), Turnigy 9X/9Xr/9XR pro (Rs. 7200-10000)

The problem is that your budget is 6-7k. An APM 2.6 flight control board with a GPS module itself will cost around 6k. So that does not leave any money for the actual quadcopter. I suggest you start with a kk 2.1 and buy an APM later. Otherwise, PM sooraj.palakkad. He helped in building my quad and he also completed a quad with a DIY MultiWii board so you should ask him about MultiWii. I really don't know much about the Multiwii/ Crius boards.

Hi, cool16yash , Received your PM, I am posting answer to your queries here, because, other people can also benefit .

Well Before, going to make your own flight control board, shall i know your skills,
I assume you have basic knowledge in electronics
Do you have experience with arduino or any other microprocessor platforms ?

Multiwii, is a very good open source flight controller Coded on Arduino platform. At first, it was intended to help people who want to make cheap Flight controllers from Arduino boards and motion sensors from Wii, nunchuck controllers. Later, many people developed the source code to include many advanced features and support for different h/w.

You can make a simple flight controller with self level feature (Like KK2), for 500 to 1000 Rs, using Arduino and a sensor break out board (MPU6050 or other supported sensors) On multiwii platform.
Later you can add advanced features too.

Making your own flight controller is quite challenging, especially if you are new to RC. It will be much quicker and more convenient to buy one.  But if you have experience with microcontrollers and electronics and you want a challenge, you could definitely succeed. There are several flight controllers you could make such as the Aeroquad and MultiWii. Check their websites.
Basically, you would need a base microcontroller- such as an Arduino/ clone. You would then need to add sensors such as a gyro/ accelerometer or integrated IMU module. You would also need to download firmware or develop your own (quite difficult)

Well, it's not that hard.

But I have another option for him - Can arrange parts like motors + ESC + KK2.1 + othe connectors and cables for around 5500 to 6000.
He can  get a LiPo + Radio + charger for the remaining money.

servo? did you mean ESC?
