AME Dual Program

A focused, career-first pathway that blends hands-on aircraft licence training with a full bachelor’s degree. This integrated dual program fast-tracks technical competence, managerial fluency, and employability, so graduates leave ready for both workshop floors and leadership roles.

What our Exclusive Dual Program Is

ARDC’s AME dual option lets you complete the DGCA-approved 3-year Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) course while simultaneously earning a three-year bachelor’s degree, either BSc (science focus) or BBA (management focus). The programme is structured so that technical licence training and academic coursework run in parallel, delivering two marketable credentials within the same timeframe.

The AME portion follows DGCA CAR-66/CAR-147 syllabi so graduates are eligible to appear for DGCA module exams and obtain AME licences such as B1.1, B1.2 (mechanical) and B2 (avionics). A DGCA-approved AME qualification is mandatory for licensed maintenance roles in India.

Who it is for

  • Students who want a licensed technical career plus an academic degree for wider options.
  • Learners who prefer hands-on work (maintenance, troubleshooting) but also want management or research pathways.
  • Candidates aiming for better placement prospects in airlines, MROs, airports, OEMs, or for future study abroad

How the programme works

Three years total

The full DGCA AME licence curriculum (B1/B2 streams) runs alongside degree semesters.

Balanced timetable

Classroom modules, workshop practise, lab sessions, and degree lectures are scheduled to avoid conflict and ensure deep learning in both strands.

Practical attachments

ARDC uses in-house workshops, MRO facilities and airport attachments for live exposure. This is core to converting theory into serviceable skills.
