Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) admission in India typically requires candidates to qualify for an entrance exam, with AME CET (Common Entrance Test) being the most popular. Some institutes and universities also conduct their own exams, while others offer admission based on 10+2 marks, especially in PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics). The eligibility criteria generally include passing 10+2 with at least 50% marks in PCM or a diploma in engineering.
AME programs are regulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India, and students must undergo theoretical and practical training before obtaining a DGCA license. The entrance exam assesses candidates' aptitude in mathematics, physics, reasoning, and general awareness. Qualifying the exam provides access to top AME institutes, scholarships, and better placement opportunities. Some private institutions may also offer direct admission, but competitive exams ensure access to reputed training centers with quality education.
