Query

Dear Sir/Madam, I stay in Dubai, and I want to apply for Sr. Technician (Diploma Stream) Mechanical Engineer. I spoke to UAE Chairman (AMIE) yesterday and he provided me with some useful information, but still i am confused. Please reply my below queries. 1. How to apply for the Member ship (i.e how to get the membership no. that is needed to be filled in the Examination form) 2. If I apply for the membership now. How much time it will take for registration? 3. When does I can send the examination form? Can I appear for Winter 2010 exams ? 4. My visa is finishing the month of September, and I am not sure whether I will be continuing the same job or will move to some other country. After registration can i appear from other location. When does I will be required to intimate/inform the concerned people for the change of examination centre because it will be clear to me by August end only. I desperately need some help from you all, as i am stuck badly. My growth and salary is not increasing due to under graduation. I hope you get some useful information for me.

Basic information of AMIE

WEBSITE: http://www.ieindia.org
What is AMIE? AMIE stands for Associate Member of Institution of Engineers. Simply speaking, it is an engineering degree course recognized by all State Governments, Central Govt., UPSC etc as equivalent to B.E/B.Tech. That means, those who successfully complete AMIE will get equal opportunities for job as well as higher education, just like a B.E or B.Tech holder. The Institution of Engineers (India), the largest multidisciplinary body of engineers in the country is the body that prepares syllabus, conducts examination and issue certificates etc. of AMIE. It is nonformal The attraction with AMIE is that it is a nonformal course. Hence, anyone who meets the specified educational qualification and a keen desire to become a graduate engineer can do this course in the least possible time! This course is especially suitable for employed person, as they can study this course without being interfering their job, whether they are in India or abroad . Who Can Study AMIE ? Those who wish to do AMIE must passes any one of the following qualifications. A recognized 3-year Polytechnic Diploma or its equivalent in any branch of engineering. (No marks restriction) OR +2/HSC/PDC with Physics, Chemistry& Maths with minimum 45% marks. If you possess any qualification equivalent to the above, still then you are eligible to apply for AMIE. Those who pursue AMIE after their Diploma course are usually known as Diploma Stream Students, and others are known as Non-Diploma Stream Students. SYLLABUS OF AMIE

The syllabus of AMIE is more or less similar to B.E/B.Tech. But the number of subjects in AMIE is very less. The AMIE syllabus has two parts:- Section A and Section B (similar to First year , Second year etc. of any formal degree course). Those who join for AMIE should first study Section A subjects, and after passing Section B he should study Section B. In Section A we study some subjects which are fundamental to engineering. In section B, we make specialized study in our chosen branch of engineering. When a student clears all subjects in both sections A and B. he is said to have passed A.M.I.E examination and becomes a graduate engineer. Based on ones qualification, the number of subjects that a student studies in Section A varies. A diploma holder need to study only 4 subjects in Section A, while a nondiploma/+2 holder studies 10 subjects in Section A. Following are the subjects in Section A Fundamentals of Design and Manufacturing Material Science and Engineering Computing and Informatics Society and Environment Mechanical science Engineering Physics and Chemistry Engineering Drawing and Graphics Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering Mathematics Electrical Science. On completion of section A, a student takes admission to Section B. In section B, student is asked to select a branch of engineering. Following are the engineering branches available. Electronics and communication Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Civil Engineering Mechanical Engineering Production Engineering Chemical Engineering Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Mining Engineering Production Engineering Textile Engineering Architectural Engineering. Of the above engineering branches available, a student can choose ANY branch as he wishes, without any criteria. This is one of the attractions of AMIE. For example, a student studied Automobile engineering in Diploma level can choose Computer Science or Electronics etc in AMIE !!!!

Both Diploma and Non-diploma holders should study 9 subjects in Section B. In order to impart practical knowledge, the Institution of Engineers has included project work and lab experiments as part of section B syllabus. In short, a +2 holder can complete AMIE by clearing just 10 + 9 = 19 subjects, whereas for a diploma holder, the total subject is 4 + 9 = 13 only. The project work may be done in the same firm/company where the student is presently engaged in. For carrying out laboratory experiment, the Institution of Engineers will contact the authorities of some engineering college/similar technical institution nearest to the location of the student and make necessary arrangement. For this, a nominal fee of Rs 1000/- will be charged from the student. DURATION The attraction of AMIE is its flexibility in completion time. Apart from conventional courses, the AMIE doesnt have a fixed completion time. Normally 6 years are available for clearing Section A subjects and another 6 years for completing Section B. EXAMINATION AMIE examinations are conducted in the first week of June and December every year. There are a lot of examination centers in India and Abroad. A student can appear for maximum 4 subjects at a time. Thus, a diploma holder can write all the 4 subjects of Section A in single appearance. Examination fee is Rs 1200/- per appearance (not per subject). The examination centre need be selected only at the time of submitting application form for examination.
