Layappa Kantikar
Real aeroplanes and helicopters, not models
AME 2023 passout: awesome infrastructure near the airport. We get to work on actual airplanes and helicopters, not just models. This helped me understand real aircraft systems better.

Well-equipped labs
Great practical training and real aircraft experience. The labs are well equipped and the teachers are very knowledgeable. I feel much more confident about my AME career now. AME student, Batch 2025.
2010 Shreyas
Tough course, well guided
The faculty here are supportive and explain everything clearly. The course is tough, but the way teachers guide us makes it manageable and interesting. AME student, 2024 batch.
Surya Teja
Says management is money-focused
This is the worst college, the management doesn't care what happens on campus. They only want money, they don't care about students. Whatever they say one day, if we go and ask the next day they say when did I say that. They can't stand by one word.

FAQ's
What does VSM Aerospace cost?
VSM does not publish fee figures on its website, and no reliable third-party total exists. Request a written, itemised fee schedule, and ask specifically whether the CAR-147 practical training component is included or billed separately.
Is VSM Aerospace DGCA approved?
Yes, for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering in Category B1.1 (Mechanical - aeroplane turbine, airframe systems and gas turbine engines) and Category B2 (Avionics - electrical systems and radio navigation).
How long has VSM been running?
Since 1994, as part of the Agragami Group of Educational Institutions - over 30 years, which makes it one of the longer-established AME institutes in south India.
What aircraft are on campus?
VSM states it owns light and heavy aeroplanes and helicopters on its own property. Holding both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft is uncommon among Indian AME institutes, and students specifically mention working on actual airframes rather than mock-ups.
What facilities are there?
Aircraft hangars, laboratories equipped with real parts and instruments, classrooms and a technical library.
Where is the campus?
Major Akshay Girish Kumar Road, Sector A, Yelahanka, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560064, on the northern side of the city towards Kempegowda International Airport.
What are the placement claims?
VSM advertises 100% placement assistance and an alumni network of 2,500+ students. Assistance is not a guarantee - ask for batch-wise placement data with employer names.
Which stream should I choose?
B1.1 covers airframe systems and gas turbine engines - the mechanical side; B2 covers avionics, electrical systems and radio navigation. Both lead to DGCA licence examinations in their respective categories.
What do students say?
VSM holds 4.0 from 203 Google reviews as of August 2026 on the listing matching its Yelahanka address. Positive reviews consistently cite hands-on access to real aircraft and helicopters and supportive faculty. Critical reviews, including a detailed 1-star, allege the management is money-focused and inconsistent in what it commits to. Apano publishes both.
Why do two VSM listings appear on Google?
There are two Google Business Profiles: a VSM Aerospace AME Training School listing with a small review count, and the main VSM Aerospace - AME College listing at the Yelahanka address with 203 reviews. The second matches the campus address. Duplicate listings split review signal - worth being aware of when comparing ratings.
