Hello Mudit,

To answer your question, we first need to understand what the courses - Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) and B. Sc. In Aviation provide.

The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course is an entrance examination [So to speak, CATAME conducted by Fora of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Institutes (FAME)] for courses that have crucial role in the aviation industry. AME's are responsible for servicing and maintenance of the aircraft which includes repairs, replacements, overhaul and inspection of the aircraft, aircraft components and other related items of equipment and hence they are entrusted by the DGCA (Director General of Civil Aviation).

However, B.Sc. in Aviation is an undergraduate three year course that provides information on internal mechanics of an aircraft, the precautions which should be taken when flying the aircraft and other such cautionary measures.

The following are a few facets that will help you understand the difference better:

In simpler words, B. Sc. in Aviation deals majorly with the theoretical aspects of aviation whereas AME deals with the practical aspects of it.

B.Sc. in Aviation being a 3 year undergraduation course, provides you with an academic degree whereas AME does not provide you with any such qualification.

An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) is not necessarily a holder of an Aerospace Engineering degree, but it does help you get your foot in the door. You can be a competent AME with backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or with Business degrees as well.

Hope this helped you with your query. Please feel free to ask me any more doubts and I shall try to clarify them to you.
