Yes, the Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) offered by reputed colleges in India — such as Puran Murti Campus — is recognized and accepted in the aviation industry both in India and internationally. This recognition is backed by compliance with national and international regulatory bodies that set the standards for aviation training and safety.
Firstly, the program is typically approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which is the statutory body under the Ministry of Education responsible for ensuring the quality of technical education in India. AICTE approval guarantees that the course content, infrastructure, faculty, and training methods meet national academic standards, making the diploma legally valid and educationally credible.
Secondly, many Aircraft Maintenance Engineering diploma programs also adhere to the guidelines set by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) — the Indian government body responsible for regulating civil aviation. The DGCA approval is crucial because it sets the aviation-specific norms required for professionals working on aircraft registered in India. A diploma that follows DGCA norms ensures that the training is aligned with real-world aviation safety protocols, aircraft maintenance procedures, and technical standards used by Indian airlines and MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) organizations.
Moreover, some institutions like Puran Murti Campus go a step further and follow additional global standards such as those from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). EASA is the regulatory authority for aviation safety in the European Union. Diplomas or training that align with EASA modules make it easier for graduates to pursue licensing and career opportunities abroad in Europe and other EASA-compliant countries. This global alignment increases the diploma's value and enhances the student’s ability to work in the international aviation sector.
In addition to regulatory recognition, many large employers in the aviation sector—such as Air India, Indigo, Boeing, Airbus, SpiceJet, and HAL—accept graduates from these diploma programs, further validating their industry relevance and practical worth. Institutions often partner with these companies for training, internships, and campus placements.
