Mechanics

Hello,
To become an Aircraft Mechanic or an Aviation Technician, one gas to undergo three years AME course after completion of 10+2 with physics & mathematics. These courses are conducted by many institutions in India. In some places, there is entrance exam while at others admission is based on marks obtained in 12th exam. Once eligible, a student can select either of the two streams of mechanical or avionics. Merely passing the course does not make one eligible to work on the aircraft straight away. One needs to obtain a license issued by DGCA. Only license holders are allowed to work on aircraft. With the boom in the aviation sector, many Indian carriers have placed orders for aircraft. All these will require license holders to maintain. Thus in near to medium term prospects of AME are quite good. Depending on the company, one can expect a salary of about Rs. 50K.
