AME College in Nepal

When students from Nepal look to pursue careers in aviation, particularly in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME), a recurring recommendation is the Puran Murti Campus in India — often referenced under the umbrella “AME College in Nepal” for Nepalese aspirants. In fact, according to one source:  Apply Now

currently, there is no full-fledged AME college in Nepal that provides Aircraft Maintenance Engineering programmes

Hence, for many Nepalese students the path involves going to India (or other countries) for AME-training. This blog aims to excerpt detailed information about this option while framing it for a Nepalese student’s perspective, including course details, eligibility, advantages & caveats.  Apply Now

Why this route? & Context for Nepalese Students  Apply Now

• The aviation industry, globally and regionally, is growing — aircraft need maintenance, overhaul, inspection. AME profession is therefore in demand.

• For Nepalese students: Since an AME programme may not be fully available in Nepal with all regulatory/licensing approvals (as per the source), studying in India becomes a viable option.

• The Puran Murti Campus offers AME programmes approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA Falcon Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers is a leading institute approv ) of India combined with B.Tech or other degrees, which enhances recognition.  Apply Now

Course Details — AME Programmes & Related Courses

Here are key programs you might consider. Since you are from Nepal, typically you would look at the AME (DGCA) + degree route to maximise recognition and employability.  Apply Now

1. AME (DGCA(Falcon Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers) Program (Stand-alone)

• Duration: Typically 4 years depending on the institute.

• Eligibility: 10 + 2 (i.e., equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM) combination. Minimum marks often 50% aggregate in PCM.

• Focus: Aircraft inspection, repair, maintenance, ensuring airworthiness of aircraft. Hands-on labs and practical training in maintenance, engines, systems.

• Outcome: DGCA license (India) which allows you to work in maintenance organisations/airlines (subject to regulations).

2. Integrated AME + B.Tech 

• Duration: 4 years (typically eight semesters) for the integrated degree + AME license training.

• Eligibility: 10+2 with PCM, sometimes Diploma in allied engineering accepted.

• Fees: Example: AME + B.Tech — 2,40,500 Per Year  at Puran Murti Campus.

• Advantage: You end up with both a degree (B.Tech) and the AME qualification/licence prospects — enhancing versatility (can go into avionics, general engineering, aerospace, etc).

• Example course list: On their site, courses offered include: AME (DGCA) + B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering; AME (DGCA) + B.Tech Aerospace Engineering.  Apply Now

3. Other Related Courses (B.Tech, Diploma, etc)

• For instance: B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) at Puran Murti (4 years) — syllabus and specialisations like AI, IoT, Cyber Security, etc.

• Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (3 years) is also offered.  Apply Now

Admission & Eligibility — for Nepalese Students

Here is what you should keep in mind:

• Eligibility generally: 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM). Some integrated courses accept Diploma holders.  Apply Now

• Minimum marks: For B.Tech in India example, 45% or 50% in required subjects (for general category) at some institutes.

• Entrance: Some institutes accept JEE Main, or institute’s own entrance test (e.g., AME CET) or merit basis.

• For Nepalese students: When the institute says “Indian and foreign nationals (including Nepalese students) can apply” for the AME programme.

• Documents & Visa: As an international student, you will have to take care of student visa/immigration (in India), residential arrangements, and fees in foreign currency or as per institute’s policy.  Apply Now

Fee Structure & Hostel / Living Costs (Indicative)

While precise costs change every year, here are indicative values from Puran Murti:  Apply Now

• Example: Integrated AME + B.Tech — total tuition 2,40,500 Per Year.

• Diploma in AME (3 years) — total tuition ₹ 2,07,500 approx.

• For Nepalese students: Add travel cost, visa cost, living cost in India (which may differ from home country), currency fluctuations.

• Consider the return on investment: job prospects, salary, placement, geographic mobility.  Apply Now

Career Prospects & Scope

• After AME qualification you can work in airlines, MROs (Maintenance Repair Overhaul), aircraft component manufacturing, avionics, defence maintenance, etc. 

• For integrated degree + AME combination: you have broader options — in aerospace engineering, avionics, general engineering, IT (if you choose CSE track), etc.

• Given Nepal’s aviation market is smaller compared to India or Middle East, you may want to consider future mobility (India, Middle East, SE Asia) — check recognition/licence portability back in Nepal.

• Hands-on training, practical workshops, real aircraft hangars matter a lot: Having live maintenance exposure improves employability.  Apply Now

Why Choose This (India) Route vs Staying in Nepal?

Pros:

• The Indian programme (at Puran Murti Campus) is AICET-approved and well-equipped with aviation-maintenance labs.

• Geographic proximity for Nepalese students, somewhat familiar cultural & regional context.

• A degree + licence combination gives strong credentials.  Apply Now

Cons:

• Costly (tuition + hostel + living + travel).

• As a foreign student you must navigate visa, accommodation, perhaps language/culture adaptation.

• After graduation you must verify that your licence and credentials are acceptable in your target job‐country (Nepal or elsewhere).

• Staying in Nepal may have lower cost, but fewer fully‐approved AME programmes with global recognition (as per the initial statement).  Apply Now

Conclusion

For Nepalese students keen on aviation maintenance engineering, the “AME College in Nepal” terminology often points to studying in India (for example, at Puran Murti Campus). It offers AME (DGCA) programs combined with degrees, good infrastructure, training, and a wide range of courses. But you must weigh costs, licensing, job mobility, and fit with your long-term goals.  Apply Now
