Course Overview

India's aviation sector is growing rapidly — and airlines, MRO companies, and OEMs are actively seeking engineering graduates who understand the aviation world. The challenge is that a standard BE/BTech degree does not cover aviation-specific knowledge: aircraft systems certification, DGCA regulatory requirements, maintenance documentation (CMM, AMM, SRM), or airworthiness standards.

Vajra Aviation's Graduate Engineering Training program is specifically designed to fill this gap. By the end of the program, a mechanical, electrical, electronics, or aerospace engineering graduate will have the technical vocabulary, regulatory knowledge, and practical understanding needed to confidently enter and thrive in the aviation maintenance industry.
