Thank you for approaching counsellors at CareerGuide.com. You have stated in your query that you have completed aircraft maintenance engineering i think it is a diploma program right? So now after completing this diploma what to do next? Ask yourself if you want to study or if you want to work? If you want to work, then you should choose companies that recruit you as flight technicians. As a flight technician you will most often be working at the ground level at an airport. This role is often known as ground technician jobs which means you will be responsible for attending to any technical problems that an aircraft may face upon landing or before taking off. You will not fly in a plane but be responsible to test the plane only when it is on ground. As a flight technician you will also be responsible for periodic check on flights and their technical systems. To get a job in this industry. you can always follow up jobs posted by airport authority of India or also on job portal websites like naukri shine or monster.com

If you like to study alternatively, i would suggest you to do an Engineering degree. as you have already obtained a diploma in aircarft engineering, you will be suited to study BTech in aerospace engineering or BTech in aeronautical engineering. As a diploma holder you can very well make use of the lateral entry system in India. Lateral entry means you will be eligible to directly join the second year of the engineering degree and you dont have to study the engineering degree right from first year. This way you can actually complete the engineering degree in three years. You should carefully choose if you want to study or work but in my opinion, it is good to get an engineering degree right now and then later start work. As the world is highly competitive it has become mandatory that students have to have a degree level education. A diploma is not at a degree level and this will also give you jobs only as a technician. If you study engineering degree, your position and as well as salary will also be considerably better. There are many universities that offer this engineering course and you should most often attend their entrance test to be eligible for admission. Almost all private universities offer lateral entry and i am sure you can do an engineering with them. If you require further help please dont hesitate to contact us. All the very best.
