@ BALA : I have completed my ame course as well as my diploma in mechanical engg. The words you typed on top reminded me of exactly how i was when i hoined the AME course after i had completed my diploma . I had an option of doing my degree and choose the AME course . I thought exactly like u that i will go through all the hurdles and join AME n i will get a job in this field . 3 years later , now i so regrett taking this course i struggled day in and out for a training to no avail. In INDIA it doesnt matter wether u did ur course from the top most college in the world or how many licences uve cleared , all that matters to get a job is what contacts u have in the industry . I stood first in my entire bactch of 60 student but till today not even 1 person has even looked at my marks card not one person has called me even for an interview .

I have applied in all the companies u can imagine but not even a single mail or call. I know of people who dont even know head o tail o what an aircraft is but with a ministers recommendation theve got a job even without an interview . All the interviews happen internally and no one comes to know what happened when . I love planes so dearly BALA but in this corroupt country that is not what they require . I swear u will be shocked when u enter this field and see the thousands of students who have not even attended interviews till now and are jobless since the past 3 years or so . Wether u study from uk usa austalia wherever , if u dont have a contact n money to shell through ur nose as a bribe to the hr dept , u can place that AME certificate in ur briefcase n leave it to rott . That is what the state of my certificate is now . Ask any student in india who has done their AME wether they regret doing this course and ill throw u a 1000 dollar bill if even one person says NO.

Believe me bala today ur saying ull make it some how , 3 years latter ull be typing the same thing as i am right now thinking that i should have done that degree . 1000DS of kid here are jobless n im tell u that not 1 single guy since my 3 bathes senior has got a job until now . all are at home regretting . Plz take my advice Indias aviation sector is so corrupt ull never stand a chance 3 yrs later all ull do is running pillar to post to no avail . I did the mistake u dont do it .. take care
