Integrated Aeronautical Engineering & AME Course – Degree + Licence

INTEGRATED PROGRAM OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING & AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING

(B.Tech. The program is approved by AICTE and affiliated with BTU. The DGCA approves the AME Program.)

PLACEMENT PROBABILITIES ARE TOO HIGH WITH THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM OF

B.Tech. (AERONAUTICAL) + AME

In today’s world, having a single graduate degree will not make you stand out from the crowd. Thus, students have begun opting for two courses together to deepen their knowledge and skills across several subjects. 

If you are looking for a career change, an Integrated Program may help you advance your basic degree and explore areas in other fields. Another significant advantage of such a course is that you may also gain versatility and add classes to your professional portfolio.

Such programs are less costly than pursuing Aeronautical Engineering and AME degrees separately. By doing an integrated program, one saves time and becomes fully skilled. Suppose a student is doing only B.Tech. Aeronautical Engineering: If he or she joins an airline as a graduate engineer trainee, he or she will have to complete another 2 years to clear the DGCA AME License examination. All this shows that Integrated Program Personnel have an edge over either Aeronautical Engineering Personnel or AME Personnel. More of these personnel will have both design and maintenance skills.

The integrated course is a combined B.Tech program. (Aeronautical Engineering) and Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, in which students will appear for two examinations for the issuance of the Degree and License. Both courses will run in parallel, and at the end of four years, students will have both B.Tech. (Aeronautical Engineering) & Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, thereby making him eligible for both Manufacturing and Maintenance jobs related to aircraft. This will also enhance placement probabilities, as we will be able to apply for all types of jobs in the aviation engineering industry, whether manufacturing- or maintenance-related.

More and more students are opting for dual degrees or dual courses to stand out in a crowd. These students with Integrated courses are preferred candidates in the Industry because employers can place them in any relevant job within their company.

Along with the course curriculum, we are also providing design and analysis-related software to students to make them eligible for the design industry.

These students will be appearing for two separate University examinations for the award of B.Tech. Degree and DGCA license examination for the award of AME license.

The practicals being provided to them have been designed to make them eligible for jobs in both the manufacturing and maintenance sectors.

QUALIFICATION FOR ADMISSION INTO THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING AND AME

The minimum eligibility criteria for admission into the Integrated Program are:

• Applicant must pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or equivalent. Students having any other optional subject in place of Chemistry are also eligible. E.g. Computer Science in place of chemistry, along with Physics and Mathematics.
• 3 years of Engineering Diploma in the relevant stream. (i.e. Diploma in Mechanical, Production & Industrial, Electronics & Communication, Electronics, Instrumentation & Control, Telecommunication Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering. Students with this qualification are eligible for lateral entry into the second year of the Aeronautical Engineering Program.
• B.Sc. with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Students with this qualification are eligible for lateral entry into the second year of the Aeronautical Engineering Program.
• Candidate must have a minimum 60% mark in 10+2 in PCM or equivalent or in any of the above qualification requirements.

SCOPE FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING + AME

India is the third-largest aviation market, with significant scope to become the world’s largest shortly. Following the Indian government’s Make in India policy, many aircraft manufacturers have begun outsourcing the design and manufacturing of aircraft components in India. All these companies are seeking skilled Aeronautical Engineers (AMEs) to join their teams.

Airbus and Boeing both have established manufacturing units in India; these companies are also major employers of Aeronautical Engineering (AME) pass-outs.

India’s aviation growth is evident in rising passenger traffic, with many new airports coming online to cater to it. In Delhi and Mumbai, the Indian government is planning third and second airports, respectively. Passenger traffic has increased to the extent that the government has already segregated the helicopter and non-scheduled operators flying from New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport. Helicopter flying is taking place from India’s First Heliport at Rohini, and non-scheduled operators or small aircraft operators are flying from a separate airport at Hindon. Due to this high growth in the Industry, more and more aircraft will be brought in and manufactured, thereby increasing job opportunities for Aeronautical Engineering/AME pass-outs and experienced personnel already working.

Due to tax relaxations, the MRO industry is expected to grow from 800 crores to 3000 crores over the next 3 years. Convergence between the defence sector and civil MROs will be established to create economies of scale. This will also create many job opportunities for Aeronautical Engineering graduates.

Aeronautical engineers are also employed in the space sector. According to the Indian government's latest announcement, the Indian private sector is to be a co-traveller in the space sector journey. They will also provide a level playing field for private companies in satellites, launchers, and space-based services. This will boost the job prospects of Aeronautical Engineering/Aerospace Engineering graduates.

Aeronautical Engineering / AME graduates can apply for jobs in approximately 350 plus companies in India, to mention some of the companies and domains of aviation-related companies are as follows:

• India Air Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, BSF, HAL, ISRO, DRDO, NAL, Taneja Aerospace, Mahendra Aerospace, Civil Aviation Department, DGCA, AAI, Scheduled Airlines, Non-Scheduled Airlines, Private Airlines, Government Airlines, MRO, AMO, TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS, DESIGNING COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURING COMPANIES.
