What is the job guarantee of Aircraft maintenance engineering in India? Can I get direct entry in indian navy after completing this course?

To be on the positiIndia is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Due to the liberalisation policies of the government, there is tremendous growth in civil aviation. Many private airlines and corporations viz., Air India, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Air Sahara and Air Deccan are operating today with very good operating revenues. To meet the growing need of the passenger airlines, cargo aircrafts, private air taxi operators, business and corporate jets, there exists an urgent need for aircraft maintenance engineers. An aircraft maintenance engineer has to obtain a licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). AME hence cannot be considered as a degree course. An aircraft maintenance engineer is responsible for the control, maintenance and repair of specialised aircraft instrumentation and related parts of the aircraft. They also learn to set engine controls and to test for their correct functioning. They play a major role among the maintenance personnel to keep the aircraft 'airworthy' at all times. The maintenance of modern sophisticated aircrafts calls for high degree of technical knowledge, competence, proficiency, dexterity and integrity on part of the concerned personnel. Aircraft engineers research, design, manufacture and maintain aircraft. They work on any and every mechanical aspect of the craft, including airframes, hydraulics and pneumatics, engines and fuel systems and control and communications systems. Air craft engineers are involved in stages of aircraft production and manufacture such as design of new products such as components or entire engines; the manufacture and assembly of aircraft parts; research into solutions for complex engineering problems; maintenance of the finished craft to ensure safety and operational status. A course in aircraft maintenance engineering is not a degree but a licence course and only those institutes approved by the DGCA can impart training in this area. After completing the course and passing the internal exam, you will have to clear the licensing exam conducted by the DGCA.
