FAQ's
What does PAMEC cost?
Third-party listings put PAMEC's fees between Rs.1,44,850 and Rs.1,70,900 for the full course. That makes it among the least expensive DGCA-approved AME options in India - private institutes commonly charge Rs.3,50,000 to Rs.8,50,000 for comparable programmes. It is a Punjab Government college, which is why. PAMEC's own website is currently down, so confirm figures by phone before relying on them.
Why is it so much cheaper than private AME colleges?
PAMEC was established by the Punjab Government in the early 1980s and operates as a state institution rather than a private college. Check separately what the fee excludes - in particular whether the CAR-147 practical training component at an approved maintenance organisation is billed on top, as it is at most institutes.
What makes PAMEC's B.Sc. unusual?
PAMEC is described across multiple sources as the only institute in India offering a three-year B.Sc. (Hons.) in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering recognised by the University Grants Commission, affiliated to Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University, Bathinda. Most AME institutes pair the licence with a degree from a partner university; a UGC-recognised honours degree in AME itself is rare.
Is PAMEC DGCA approved?
Yes, by the DGCA, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, for ab-initio AME training.
Where is PAMEC located?
At the Civil Aerodrome on Sangrur Road, Patiala, Punjab 147007 - on an operating airfield, which is unusual for an AME college and useful for live aircraft exposure.
How do I get admission?
Admission is both merit and entrance based, and the college accepts CBSE and PSEB Class 12 results. Contact the college directly for the current cycle.
The college website does not load - is PAMEC still operating?
Yes. As of August 2026 pamecpatiala.com returns a server error on every page, which is a website fault rather than a sign the college has closed. Its Google listing is active with recent reviews. Reach the college on +91 99889 03636 or at [email protected].
When was it established?
The early 1980s, by the Punjab Government.
What do students say?
PAMEC holds 4.3 from 42 Google reviews as of August 2026. The review count is small, so treat it as a limited sample. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as among the best options in north India for the AME licence.
What should I ask before enrolling?
Whether the practical training fee is included, which approved maintenance organisation students are placed with, current DGCA module pass rates, and hostel availability and cost - all of which are unavailable online while the site is down.
