Con's 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 a minimum of 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

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is a very niche specialisation where graduates are employed by airlines and aircraft maintenance organisations. Also you have to obtain DGCA licence on a particular type of aircraft for job as Maintenance engineer. It is high paying job with limited jobs opprtunities in comparison to standard branches such as Mechanical / Electronics / Electical / CSE.
