Role of DGCA: The DGCA is the primary regulatory body for civil aviation in India. It sets the standards for AME training, conducts examinations, and issues the AME license.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Educational Qualification: Minimum 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as core subjects, often with a minimum of 50% marks.
• Age Limit: Minimum 16 years at the time of admission. For Category B licenses, the applicant should generally be at least 21 years old to apply for the license.

• Category B (Maintenance Certifying Technician):
• B1 (Mechanical Stream): Sub-categories include B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine), B1.2 (Aeroplane Piston), B1.3 (Helicopter Turbine), and B1.4 (Helicopter Piston).
• B2 (Avionics Stream): Covers aircraft electrical, instrument, and radio (communication and navigation) systems.

DGCA AME (Industry Embedded)

10+2 PCM Students can get computer number by DGCA as Private Candidate.
