To prepare students to work as qualified aviation maintenance engineers, universities offer the Aircraft Maintenance Engg. The course normally includes both theoretical and practical instruction, covering subjects including aviation rules, maintenance practices, and aircraft systems.

After completing Aircraft Maintenance Engg, which typically lasts 2400 hours, graduates will be prepared to pass the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), Government of India licencing exam and become certified AMEs. The goal of Aircraft Maintenance engineering is to give students the information and abilities needed to maintain, repair, and overhaul aircraft as well as to make sure that they are safe and airworthy.
