Did you know?
Is there any entrance examination for AME admission in India conducted by government bodies?
No, there is no entrance examination for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) admission in India that is conducted, approved, or mandated by any government body. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India, has explicitly stated that it does not conduct, prescribe, authorize, or recognize any entrance test for admission to DGCA-approved AME institutes.
As per the DGCA Public Notice dated 18 April 2019, it was observed that certain private organizations were conducting entrance exams such as AME CET and JEE AME, falsely claiming that admissions to AME institutes were based on these tests. The DGCA has officially clarified that such claims are misleading and illegal, as no such examinations are recognized by the authority.
Therefore, students aspiring to pursue the AME course should note that admissions are carried out directly by DGCA-approved institutes, strictly based on the eligibility criteria laid down in DGCA regulations – and not through any government-conducted entrance examination.
Can a Graduate, Postgraduate, or Ph.D. in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering/Aircraft Maintenance Certify an Aircraft in India?
No. Even if a person holds an M.Tech or Ph.D. in Aeronautical or Aerospace Engineering from a national or international university, they are not authorized to certify an aircraft unless they have completed the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) curriculum as prescribed under CAR-66 by the DGCA, Government of India, and have obtained a valid DGCA AME License.
Beware: A Crucial Advisory for Aspiring
Pilots and Parents
As per Public Notice F. No.: DGCA-10034(11)/24/2025-DFT dated 12 December 2025, issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Indian students intending to undergo pilot training abroad are cautioned that DGCA does not regulate, supervise, or bear any responsibility for foreign Flying Training Organisations (FTOs) approved by other States. DGCA shall have no role or liability in matters related to training quality, delays, interruption or non-completion of flying hours, changes in training schedules, fee refunds, financial or contractual disputes, safety, accidents, insurance claims, or any loss arising during the course of training abroad. All such issues remain solely between the student and the concerned foreign institution. Students and parents/guardians are therefore strongly advised to exercise due diligence and to take informed and cautious decisions before enrolling for pilot training outside India.
