Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Hi Hrishikesh,
A course in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is not a degree but a license course and only those institutes approved by the DGCA can impart training in this subject.
This training course is rigorous and only a few institutes offer training on heavy aircraft and jet engines.
-> Eligibility :
A student from the Science stream with a minimum of 50% (some institutes need 60%) in class 12th is eligible for a 3 year certificate course on aircraft maintenance engineering conducted by training schools approved by the DGCA.
-> Some of the institutes offering the course are :
-School of Aviation Science and Technology
-Delhi Flying Club, Delhi
-Indian Institute of Aeronautical engineering, Dehradun
-Hindustan Institute of Engineering Technology, Chennai and many others
The list of recognized institutes offering the AME course is available at

Hi Anant,
Aeronautical engineering is one of the most challenging branches of engineering. It has a wide scope of growth in the field of engineering. This field is concerned mostly with the technical as well as the mechanisms of the flying aircrafts. This is an emerging field. This field deals with the development of new technologies in aviation and defence systems. This field mainly consists of the construction, designing, working, testing, operation, maintenance of the space craft's, satellites, missiles, space vehicles, etc.,
Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component.
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. It is divided into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

Wish you luck.

Dear Gagan, After passing out from AME school students have to do a mandatory one year training on type of aircraft in an airline or aircraft operator. During this period getting training on aircraft is more important than salary. Salaries in this year are not very high. Basically you are getting trained. Once you have done that and have qualified examinations then you may be trained for weekly or transit check as per the airline policy. Once you have received certification authority , typically you may get paid about 30-50K depending upon level of your certification. A type rated AME licence holder on Airbus 320 or Boeing 737-900 normally gets paid between Rs. 1.5L to 2.0 L per month. Your salary depends upon your certification authority, experience, specialisation, post held, airline policy etc. There can be no thumb rule to this. This is the present scenario and in dynamic situations supply -demand controls the salaries.
