Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Common Entrance Exam Syllabus
The AME CET 2026 syllabus is based on your educational background. There are three separate syllabus patterns, one for each category of candidate.
- Class 12 PCM students: The syllabus covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from the Class 11 and Class 12 NCERT curriculum, plus English and General Awareness.
- B.Tech / 3-year Diploma holders: The syllabus focuses on a Technical Aptitude section instead of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
- Class 10 / Non-PCM Class 12 students: The syllabus covers General Awareness, English, and General Intelligence & Reasoning.
