IIT Bombay does not offer an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) course or program.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay is focused on the design, analysis, and research of flight vehicles and offers undergraduate (B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering), postgraduate (M.Tech), and doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in aerospace engineering.
Though IIT Bombay offers a variety of B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) courses.
If you are considering IIT Bombay and want to maximize your opportunities for non-core (non-traditional) engineering jobs, such as those in software, consulting, finance, analytics, or product management.
