FAQ's
What does the AME course at Nehru Institute of Aeronautics cost?
The institute does not publish fees on its website. CollegeDekho reports the AME course as payable in three instalments - Rs.1,20,000 for the first year, Rs.1,20,000 for the second and Rs.60,000 for the third, about Rs.3,00,000 in total. It also lists BBA (Airline and Airport Management) at Rs.1,20,000 per year and the MBA at around Rs.1,50,000 for two years. Confirm current figures with the admissions office.
How does that compare with other AME institutes?
At roughly Rs.3,00,000 it is at the lower end of Indian AME pricing, where totals commonly run Rs.3,50,000 to Rs.8,50,000. Check what the figure excludes - in particular whether the 328 hours of practical training at AIESL, Air Works or Hosur is billed separately, since several institutes charge that component on top.
