Yes, students pursuing a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) at reputed colleges in Delhi—such as Puran Murti Campus—do get excellent opportunities for internships as part of their academic and practical training. These internships are a vital bridge between classroom learning and real-world industry exposure, and they play a significant role in building both technical proficiency and employability.
The colleges offering this diploma often have formal tie-ups with leading aviation and aerospace organizations such as HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited), Air India Engineering Services Ltd. (AIESL), and various private MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) companies and aerospace manufacturers. These partnerships allow students to step into professional maintenance environments where they can observe and participate in actual aircraft servicing procedures.
During the internship period, students are typically placed at aircraft hangars, maintenance bays, or engineering departments. Here, they assist experienced aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians in tasks such as:
Routine inspection and maintenance checks on aircraft
Engine servicing and diagnostics
Replacement and repair of faulty components
Calibration of electronic and avionic systems
Reading and maintaining technical documentation and maintenance logs
The experience is designed to align with the standards laid out by aviation regulatory bodies such as DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) or EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency). Interns are exposed to strict safety practices, maintenance protocols, and aviation ethics, helping them become workplace-ready by the time they graduate.
In addition to national opportunities, some colleges also help students apply for international internships or training programs, especially if they are studying under EASA-aligned modules or integrated pathways. These may involve gaining experience with global airlines or international MRO companies.
Furthermore, internships not only provide technical skills but also help students build important soft skills such as communication, teamwork, documentation, and time management. Many students who perform well during their internships receive placement offers from the same companies or are fast-tracked in future job applications due to their real-world experience.
