A Helpful Guide to the AME COURSE of Nehru College of Aeronautics and Applied Science

The curriculum is actually really well structured It is based around the 11 DGCA modules an AME licensed engineer should have .... And the whole course is wraped around it Each module are subdivided according to each one's difficulty, length and importance The curriculum actually includes English, french and maths which is really helpful in the aviation industry The course could have been a little bit more easier as in to increase the duration of the course could be lengthened as the curriculum seems to be squeezed in 2.5 years which at times to take a toll on students and most seen to just ignore it The teaching method could be really improved as most of the teachers are ex-airforce technicians and some of them see to be following the old method of teaching which at most times could be boring Again the exams are devided according to which semester you are in which range between 3-5 exams

From the 5th Semester the students are eligible for placements There are a no. Of companies which take placements such as Air India, Airworks, GMR aviation, Indigo, Airforce, etc.. The average package for this particular course is around 20k per month the reason being you are basically a fresher with no experience at all 98% of the students receive placements every semester My plan is to work in India for 2 years to get the required experience time and then move to a job abroad as fast as possible

The Yearly Fees for this course 1,80,000 rupees Per year but it should be paid in semester wise which means 90,000 Rupees Per Semester The admission fees, bookfees, uniform fees, and other fees all add up to 23,000 Rupees for the whole course The scholarship provided by the college is merit wise which means you will be recieve a deduction from your fees on each semester according to the percentage scored by the student in thier 12th STD final exam

There are not a lot of cultural activities for this particular course the reason being that this course is so tightly packed you tend to have not mch time for it But the college do try it's best to include as much extracurricular activities as they can But every semester they take the students to either trivandrum airport, Kochi Airport or in Osur for practical training with live aircrafts typically for 10-25 days depending on which semester you are in Sports activities only happen annually The library is considered to be a smart library and it is well updated and equipped The facilities and technological provisions within the classrooms are really really poor there are no such smart boards or anything just a chalk board and a projector There are not much social or cultural groups in the college other than the usually ngi group , media group and the army training group

The facilities in the hostel rooms are bare minimum as there are 3 bunk buds which accomadates 6 people in 1 room and there are 3 cupboards and 2 study tables The rooms are really tiny as well and there are no airconditioner in any any of the rooms but they are not actually necessary cause the college is situated in a somewhat chilly place with good environment The food is not that good especially if you are person who is not from the Tamil Nadu State as you will have a hard time adjusting to the food food culture of the state The registration process is fairly simple actually and it is somewhat affordable compared to other colleges ... It costs 85k Rupees per year The problem is that the hostel is really strict on students going out of the college premises as if you need to go out for whatever the reason might be you have to write an outpass letter which sould be signed by the chief warden, the Hod and the class teacher which at most time is really inconvenient for the student

I did enquire and almost applied to Hindustan institute of engineering and technology (HIET) which had the same course The reason is choose this college is because when I enquired to students who are studying and who have previously studied at HIET .... I got to know that HIET had a really low passing percentage whhich is 30-40% and they're teaching is quite bad and the course was not really practical oriented and mostly concentrated on theory based learning The admission process was really really smooth as me and most students where helped out by a proffeser UDAYKUMAR sir who helped us understand the course and structure very well and helped us ease through our admission process The basic eligibility of this course is that you must have studied Maths, Chemistry and Physics in your 12 th grade or if you took a diploma it should be engineering based The good thing is the course doesn't require any entrance exam which is a huge positive

The faculty of the college is actually really supportive and look towards the betterment of the students and what is best for them The college staff are always keen to solve any problems the students are facing and are very approachable The no. Of exams depends on the semester you are in they range between 3-5 according to which semester you are in They are typically quite hard the reason being. That the required passing percentage is 75% anything lower means you are failed But most of the students do pass and thc pass rate for the semester exams are 93% The course and curriculum are very well coordinated and structured the reason being they have 58 years of experience doing this job and because of that most colleges and universities such as algappa university refers they're syllabus and curriculum
