Aircraft Maintenance Engineering

Hello dear,
Unlike other engineering programs you do not get a degree or Diploma after completion of course. This is a certification course. During the course one is trained to clear the licence exams conducted by DGCA (governing body for aviation) apart from the regular exams conducted by college. Clearing of the Gov license exams are mandatory (pass Mark is 70%) to become an engineer. Completion of the course of 3 years does not satisfy the requirements to be an engineer & may need to work as an aircraft technician for aminimumof 2 additional years on any aircraft. Aviation sector is still unstable with most of the airlines reporting losses and hence New vacancies are scarce. Pro's
Perks (free plane tickets) and benefits (6 digit salary) are good once you become an engineer. New airlines in the pipeline may create new vacancies including opportunities in the middle east. Only the most competitive minds get through the Gov license exams and hence challenging job ahead. Working on an aircraft is definitely exotic and exciting and is quite easy to be the showstopper of your neighborhood.

Hello, I feel you are getting a little confused. Let me explain based on what I understood: You are doing Diploma and desire to do engineering in aircraft main. Right? Firstly Aircraft Maintenance Engineer & Aeronautical Engineer are two different entities. First is actually not an engineering course. Its not authorised by AICTE. But its equivalent to graduation and one gets opportunity to clear DGCA licence exam. This in turn enables one to get job in civilian airlines. I think you are looking for this. Normally eligibility is 12th but many institutes allow Diploma holders also to take admission. You need to check with your intended institute about this. Best wishes.

As we know, India has more aircraft. Aircraft is a complex machine, which needs a regular maintenance and this maintenance is done by Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME). Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are responsible for the security, safety and maintenance of an aircraft.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers can do job in Indian as well as foreign airlines. So, AME is a great job in terms of scope. To get admission in AME institute there is a famous national level common entrance test through which candidate get admission in DGCA approved AME institute and the name of this test is Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Common Entrance Test (AME CET 2018).
