Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

DGCA CAR 66 Exam Specific Questions

Q1: How do I apply and register for DGCA AME module exams online?

Examinations are booked digitally through the official DGCA eGCA portal (formerly Pariksha portal). Candidates must register, obtain a Computer Number, upload verified educational credentials (Class 12/Diploma), and choose their preferred exam session, module, and examination center.

Q2: What is the cooling-off period if I fail a DGCA CAR 66 module exam?

If you do not achieve the 75% passing mark, there is a mandatory 90-day cooling-off period before you can re-appear for the same module. However, if you are enrolled in a DGCA-approved CAR 147 Maintenance Training Organization, this retake window may be reduced (typically to 30 days) depending on internal remedial training guidelines.

Q3: Are calculators, log tables, or formulas allowed inside the CBT exam hall?

Physical scientific calculators, phones, and personal notebooks are strictly prohibited inside the Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers. For modules involving calculations (such as Module 1, 2, or 3), an on-screen basic/scientific calculator and digital rough pads are provided directly within the online test interface.

Q4: Are there subjective or essay-type questions in DGCA AME module exams?

Most basic module exams consist entirely of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs).

Q5: What is the validity period of a passed DGCA CAR 66 module exam?

A passed module result remains valid for 10 years. Candidates must pass all required modules for their target licence category (B1 or B2) within this 10-year rolling window to apply for the basic AME Licence.

Q6: Which modules are common for both Category B1 (Mechanical) and Category B2 (Avionics)?

Core foundation modules are identical across both streams. Common modules include Module 3 (Electrical Fundamentals), Module 4 (Electronic Fundamentals), Module 8 (Basic Aerodynamics), Module 9 (Human Factors), and Module 10 (Aviation Legislation).

Q7: Can I appear for multiple AME modules in a single DGCA exam session?

Yes, candidates can schedule and sit for multiple modules during a single exam session, provided exam slots do not clash on the eGCA schedule. However, it is standard practice to attempt 2 to 3 related modules per session (e.g., combining Module 3 and Module 4) to manage study pressure.

Q8: What document proof is required at the exam center on exam day?

Candidates must present a printed copy of the official eGCA Admit Card, along with an original government-issued photo ID card (Aadhaar Card, Passport, or Voter ID) matching the details listed on their eGCA profile.

Q9: How long does DGCA take to declare CAR 66 module exam results?

Since exams are conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, provisional scorecard updates appear quickly on the eGCA portal—often within 24 to 48 hours, though sometimes taking a few days following the session’s conclusion. Official digital result certificates are generated shortly thereafter.

Q10: How can past papers help?

Candidates often fail by relying on memory rather than precise regulatory logic. Practicing past raw papers helps aspirants recognize how DGCA frames questions.

Q11: What does the “3 attempts in a 12-month period” rule mean for DGCA CAR 66 module retakes?

Under CAR 66 regulations (Appendix II, Rule 1.6 & 1.7), you are permitted a maximum of 3 attempts for any single module within a rolling 12-month timeframe. If you fail a module 3 times, your module booking gets locked until 12 months have passed from the date of your first attempt in that set.
Example: If you fail a module in March 2026, July 2026, and December 2026, you cannot appear for that module again until March 2027 (when the March 2026 attempt falls outside the 12-month window).

Q12: Is there negative marking for wrong answers in DGCA CAR 66 AME module exams?

No. As per CAR 66 Appendix II (Rule 1.4), penalty marking systems (deducting marks for incorrect answers) are strictly not used in DGCA AME multiple-choice examinations. Your score is calculated solely based on the total number of correct answers (minimum 75% required to pass). Candidates should answer all questions on the CBT exam without fear of negative marking.

AME General Career & Education FAQs

Q1: What is DGCA and what is its role in the AME career path?

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is India’s regulatory body for civil aviation. For Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs), DGCA sets the syllabus, conducts CAR 66 licensing examinations, certifies CAR 147 training organizations, and issues the official AME License required to certify aircraft airworthiness.

Q2: Is AME a degree or a licensing program?

AME is a specialized professional licensing program governed by DGCA, not an academic degree. While traditional engineering degrees award a B.Tech, an AME license legally permits an engineer to inspect, repair, and sign off (certify) aircraft for flight. Many institutes offer a combined B.Sc. in Aeronautics alongside AME training for dual qualifications.

Q3: What are the eligibility criteria and age limit to become an AME?

Candidates must have passed Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) from a recognized board, or hold a recognized 3-year Diploma in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, or Aeronautical). The minimum age for AME license is 18 years, with no upper age limit for appearing in DGCA module exams.

Q4: How do I get an AME license after passing the module exams?

Obtaining a full DGCA AME License requires two steps:
1. Theory: Passing the required CAR 66 module exams (minimum 75% score).
2. Practical Experience: Completing mandatory practical hands-on training (1 to 2 years depending on Category A or B) at a DGCA-approved Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility or airline.

Q5: What is the salary of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in India?

Trainees and junior technicians typically earn â‚ą10,000 to â‚ą35,000 per month. Once fully licensed (Category B1 or B2), an AME’s salary jumps significantly to â‚ą1.2 Lakh to â‚ą2.5 Lakh per month (â‚ą15–30 LPA), with senior engineers and QA inspectors earning higher.

Q6: Are DGCA AME licenses recognized internationally?

DGCA licenses align closely with international standards like EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency). While a DGCA license primarily grants authorization to work on Indian-registered (VT-registered) aircraft, AMEs can convert or cross-certify their credentials with foreign aviation authorities (such as FAA or EASA) after clearing specific conversion exams.

Q7: Can diploma holders or arts/commerce students apply for AME?

3-year Polytechnic Diploma holders in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Aeronautical branches are fully eligible for AME. However, Arts and Commerce students are not directly eligible unless they clear Class 12 Physics and Mathematics as additional subjects through recognized open schooling (e.g., NIOS).

Q8: What is the syllabus and format for DGCA CAR 66 module exams?

The DGCA CAR 66 syllabus includes fundamental science (Mathematics, Physics), basic electronics, aerodynamics, human factors, aviation legislation, and specific aircraft/engine systems. The exam consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) delivered via an online computer-based test (CBT) portal.

Q9: What is the difference between AME and Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering?

Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineers focus on designing, analyzing, and manufacturing aircraft components in office or R&D environments. AMEs focus on live maintenance, line inspections, troubleshooting, and certifying that aircraft are safe to fly on the tarmac and in hangars.

Q10: How should I prepare for DGCA AME module exams using previous papers?

Solving authentic question papers helps candidates identify repeating question patterns, understand complex CAR 66 modules (such as Module 6, 7, and 10), and improve time management. Practicing mock MCQs alongside studying standard reference books (e.g., FAA handbooks, Jeppesen manuals, and EASA Part-66 study guides) significantly increases first-attempt pass rates.
