It is imperative that students are medically fit. For international students, obtaining security clearance through DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) is a prerequisite for admission to the course.

The AME course holds recognition and approval from the Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India. DGCA, serving as the regulatory authority for civil aviation, is responsible for overseeing air transport services to/from/within India and enforcing civil air regulations, air safety, and airworthiness standards. It also collaborates on regulatory functions with the International Civil Aviation Organization. It's important to note that accreditation from AICTE, UGC, NCTE, etc., is not a requirement for this course as DGCA serves as the sole regulatory body for civil aviation activities in India.
