Thakur Institute of Aviation Technology

The best thing about this college is that it is the Best AME institute in Maharashtra. This college is equipped with India's first Virtual Reality classrooms. Immersive training and Virtual reality center. The negative remark is that the college teaching staff have some internal issues with the administration and this is affecting the students and their studies.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a very easy course. Easy if you understand the basic concepts. The exam structure is simple, 30% are Subjectives like answer in detail, and 70% is objectives MCQs. But there's a catch, to pass the exam you need to score atleast 70 marks out of 100.

It is a 3 years course. 2.5 years are theory class at the college and 6 months are at the airline for On-Job-Training (OJT). Airlines come in the campus for interview for ojt. If you get ojt in Air India you get a starting stipend of 18,000/- only. After ojt if you are good enough the same airline will absorb you.

This is a professional course so there are no events celebrated except for freshers party and farewell party. Freshers party is a party conducted by the students of second year for all the new students taking admission in first year. Farewell party is like a send off party for the passed out students.

The fees for this course are very high. This is a expensive course. The fee structure is divided into 6 installments, paid at the starting of every semester. Each installment us 75,000/- only. 1st semester fee is 76,000/- which includes 1000/- admission fee. The total fee is 4.51 lakhs.

Aviation is a new sector. Not many Banks trust the aviation industry. But there is full scope in this industry. The future of anyone in aviation is very bright. While there are few banks who grant loan for these courses. SBI Bank is one of those few banks. Although there is no scholarship for this course.

Talking about extracurricular activities, there is a floor dedicated for indoor games and a gym. Talking about sports, there are no significant sports in the college except for indoor games. In indoor games there is table tennis, snooker, pool, Carrom, chess etc. The labs are in excellent condition. The equipment is up to the mark and in working condition. There is a operating Aeroplane and helicopter in the campus.

The alumni network of the college is very weak. There are hardly any super seniors who are in touch with each other or the college. My seniors are very good. They are very kind, polite and helpful. They give proper guidance, tips and tricks for clearing the exams and how to crack the interviews etc.

I got to know about the college from the internet. I visited the college, personally reviewed the college. Taking admission in this college is very easy. Just walk in and select the field you want and fill the form and pay the fees. There is no eligibility criteria except that you must have passed 10+2 with PCM.

The faculty is well trained and have a lot of experience in the field. We have teachers from Air India, Jet Airways, Indigo, Indemar, Air Works and Indian Air Force. The teach with the help of advanced technology like smart class and Virtual reality.
