Yes, many institutions offering a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME), including those under the AIE CET, have multiple intakes per year to provide flexibility for students. Here are the key points:
1. Two Major Intakes
- Summer Intake: Generally begins in April to June, with classes starting in July or August.
- Winter Intake: Typically opens in November to January, with sessions starting in February or March.
2. Application Timeline
- The AIE CET exam is usually conducted before each intake, aligning with the academic calendar of institutions.
- Candidates can choose the intake that suits their schedule and preparation level.
3. Advantages of Multiple Intakes
- Flexibility for students who may have missed the earlier session.
- Reduces the waiting time for admission, especially for those planning a mid-year start.
4. Seat Availability
- The number of seats for each intake is limited, making it competitive.
- Early application is recommended to secure a spot in the preferred intake.
5. Program Duration
- Regardless of the intake, the duration of the diploma remains the same (typically 2-3 years).
6. Institution-Specific Policies
- Not all institutions may offer multiple intakes; it depends on their academic structure.
