Integrated Aeronautical Engineering AME Program in Dehradun

It is a 4-year dual-qualification course combining a B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering with DGCA-approved Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) training. Graduates earn both a university degree and a DGCA AME License, qualifying them for engineering, MRO, and airline maintenance roles.

Students must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) with at least 50% marks from a recognised board. Medical fitness per DGCA norms is also required — no colour blindness or night blindness. Age must be between 16 and 28 at the time of admission.

The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) AME License is the legal authority to certify aircraft as airworthy in India. Without it, no person can sign off maintenance on a commercial aircraft. It is issued under CAR-147 and recognised internationally by ICAO-member states. Learn more about aviation regulatory requirements at FMS Academy.

B1.1 covers mechanical systems — airframes, powerplants, hydraulics on turbine-engine aircraft. B2 covers avionics — electrical, electronic, instrument, communication, and navigation systems. Both streams are available at the Alpine Group of Institutions, Dehradun. Choosing between them depends on whether you prefer mechanical or electronic aircraft systems.

Entry-level DGCA-licensed AMEs typically earn ₹4 to ₹6 LPA. Mid-level engineers (2–5 years) earn ₹7–10 LPA. Senior licensed engineers with international placements can earn ₹12 LPA and above. Avionics (B2) specialists are in particularly high demand with competitive starting salaries.

Yes. The Alpine Institute of Aeronautics, Dehradun, provides hands-on training on live aircraft, covering inspection, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety procedures, as required by DGCA's CAR-147 Basic program. Practical training also includes time at DGCA-approved Aircraft Maintenance Organizations (AMOs).

For aviation career-focused students, yes. A standalone B.Tech does not qualify you to certify aircraft, only the DGCA AME license does. The integrated program gives you both in the same duration, dramatically widening your career options across airlines, MROs, design, and regulatory roles.
