Dear Omkar,
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. The minimum eligibility criterion for getting admission into any one of the institutes is 10+2 or equivalent with physics, chemistry and mathematics.
Training is imparted for servicing and maintenance of aircraft to ensure 100 per cent flight safety. After completing the course and passing the internal exam, you have to clear the licensing exam conducted by the DGCA.
Remuneration in this field is very attractive. In Indian Airlines, Air India, Pawan Hans and other private airlines, engineers get a starting gross salary of about 25,000 to 40,000 pm which goes up to 1.20 lakh, whereas the total training cost is only around 1.25 lakh.
The major types of specialised courses in AME are: light airframe, heavy airframe, jet engine, radio navigation, electrical system, instrument system, piston engine and heavy aeroplane.
On completion of training, you will get a Basic Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Certificate (BAMEC) from the DGCA which will make you eligible for a job in the aviation industry.
All the best.
