For those who are willing to work in aeronautical or aerospace engineering and those who want to do something new in every field, this course is beneficial. After completion of this course, the candidates can design and test aircraft-related equipment. After the successful completion of a course, the student or applicant can apply for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) license.

The aviation industry in India is set to increase by three times in the next decade alone. More than 800 new planes are on order for various airlines in India and on their way to be delivered by 2025. With all these new aircrafts and airlines coming in, there will be a huge need for manpower for various aspects of aviation. One of the most important aspects is the maintenance of these aircrafts as ICAO and DGCA have set certain rules where an aircraft needs timely maintenance in order for it to be always fit to fly. An AME or an aircraft maintenance engineer's task is to repair and maintain every single nook and cranny of an aircraft and he/she is responsible for the well being and worthiness of the aircraft. WIth all these aircrafts coming in, there is gonna be a huge demand for AMEs as well and right now, many institutes in India and running DGCA regulated courses for AME divided into mechanical and avionics. One can choose any of the good aviation colleges to pursue such courses and there are even campus placements at some colleges.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineer or AME is the person who has been licensed to work on the maintenance aspects of civilian aircraft by DGCA. There are plenty of institutes which impart this training which normally is a 3-year B.Sc course. As per the report of IATA as well as DGCA, passenger traffic, as well as cargo traffic, is increasing every month. This, in turn, has prompted many Indian carriers to place orders with either with Boeing or Airbus for a passenger as well cargo aeroplanes. The large induction just around the corner will definitely result in increased demand for AME's to maintain these aeroplanes. This appetite is expected to continue at least in near to medium term in future. To conclude, it is definitely a fact that career and job prospects for AME's in India is on the upswing and are expected to remain this way.

Aircraft maintenance engineering is not just a degree, it is a training programme. After completing of the training programme, one can get a license from DGCA. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) deals with construction, repair and maintenance of the plane. AME engineer's main work to check every part of the place to be in working position before it takes off. There are many companies which give a job to AME students such as Indian Airlines, Kingfisher, Jet Airways, Spice Jet, Air India, Sahara and many more. AME student can get starting average salary of 35000 per month and it will increase up to 60000 within 2-years of good work record and it will further increase.

World-wide, the business of aircraft maintenance is enormous, and is set to expand. The approximate number of aeroplanes currently in service world-wide is around 500,000 passenger and cargo aircraft and about four million smaller private aircraft used for business or pleasure. India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Due to the liberalisation policies of the government, there is a tremendous growth in civil aviation. Many private airlines and corporations viz., Air India, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Air Sahara and Air Deccan are operating today with very good operating revenues. To meet the growing need for the passenger airlines, cargo aircrafts, private air taxi operators, business and corporate jets, there exists an urgent need for aircraft maintenance engineers. The aviation industry has two main branches: flying branch and maintenance branch. While pilots fly the aircraft, aircraft maintenance engineers are concerned with the maintenance of the aircraft. An aircraft maintenance engineer has to obtain a license from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).No matter what stage you're at in your education or career, TuteeHUB will help you reach the next level that you're aiming for.

India has very well developed aviation industry and its growing very rapidly. Government has planned to expand both commercial flights and Air logistics transportation to mid-size towns. This expansion program will require lots of Aeronautical personnel. Aeronautical / Aerospace engineers deal with designing new aircraft and its systems, whereas Aircraft Maintenance Engineering deals with the repair of these aircraft. Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) courses are designed to train and sill students in Mechanical Stream and Avionics stream of engineering professionals for Aviation Industry. The aircraft engineers mainly deal with the construction, repair and maintenance of the aircraft. AME graduates with DGCA license are employed by Government and Private airlines, corporate, Public/ Private Aviation organization. It is highly rewarding and high paying career option.
