No, an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) course is not equivalent to a B.Tech degree. AME is a licensing program regulated by DGCA, focused on aircraft maintenance, repair, and ensuring safety. It is skill-based and doesn’t award an academic degree. In contrast, B.Tech is a 4-year engineering degree offering in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in a broader scope, including aircraft design, research, and development. Both are valuable but cater to different career paths in the aviation industry.
