The Polytechnic in AME College in India is a 3-year full-time diploma programme, and it is neatly organised into six semesters, each lasting around six months. The structure is designed to help students gradually build their knowledge from basic engineering concepts to advanced aircraft maintenance skills.
During the first year, you study the fundamentals — mathematics, physics, workshop practice, engineering drawing, and introductory aviation subjects. This foundation helps you understand the core technical concepts needed in aircraft maintenance.
In the second year, the curriculum becomes more specialised. You learn about aircraft structures, materials, aerodynamics, basic avionics, engines, electrical systems, and the functions of different aircraft components. This is also the stage where hands-on training in labs and workshops begins intensively.
The third year focuses on advanced maintenance practices, aviation regulations, aircraft inspection techniques, troubleshooting methods, and safety procedures. Students also participate in practical training, industry visits, and project work, which prepare them for real-world aviation environments.
