What is module exam | How many modules are there for AME (aircraft maintenance engineer) students

What is a module exam?

  • Module examination is conducted by DGCA. It's an examination for eligibility of a student for the aircraft maintenance engineering license and another license such as BAMEC (BASIC AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATE).



  • Basically, the module exam is conducted three times a year.
  • In the module exam, OMR (multiple choices) type questions come
  • In each module exam, different sets of questions come. 
  • Now giving each module exam you have to give 1500/- rupees.
  • Note- if you failed continuously for a module then you are not eligible to give that particular exam for one year.

    • (Means if you give one exam let’s say module 8 and then you do not give module 8 exam instead of that you gave module 9 in the next season and after that, you gave module 8 again, then that also counts as a continuously appeared exam.)

 

 

 

How many modules are there?


 Actually, there are 22 modules but some are for category A, B1, B2, and C., And Module 1 (mathematics) and module 2 (physics), is not applicable in India.

So Aircraft maintenance engineering students have to pass mostly 10-12 modules.
