Dear Student,
We sincerely appreciate your interest for doing AMIE. Below we furnish the details of AMIE course.
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 A 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 non-diploma/+2 holder studies 10 subjects in Section A.
Subjects in Section A
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.
Aerospace Engineering
Agricultural Engineering
Architectural Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Marine Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Metallurgical and Material Science
Mining Engineering
Production Engineering
Textile 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 doesn’t 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.

HOW TO STUDY
The success in AMIE lies in the systematic study. For the convenience of students, THE ENGINEERS ACADEMY, Ahmedabad conducts regular, evening and postal classes, at a nominal fees rate.
CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
Since a number of students have repeatedly requested, we have arranged correspondence course for outstation students.
This course has been designed to suit particularly employed students. That means, by making use of this programme, you will be able to continue with their job, at the same time you will get the equal benefit of joining regular classroom coaching.
Students joining for the correspondence course will get the specially prepared study materials, questions bank etc. So by systematically following our instruction you can pass AMIE course in the minimum time.
In preparing the study materials, special care has been taken, to present each topic in a illustrated and self-taught style. Positive feedback that we received from our students shows that these materials will certainly prove beneficial to all types of students
WHEN TO START STUDIES?
Postal class for December and June 2008 examination has already started. Since AMIE is a programme that demands systematic study, you have to start your studies on the very day you decide to join for the course, without waiting for registration formalities. This is very important for employed students, because in their case they may not get sufficient time for preparation due to their job-related responsibilities.
Hence, those who wish to register for AMIE later can also join our correspondence course now. This will save their time. On the other hand, if you join our course only after getting registration, you will hardly get one month for preparing for examination. (This is because normally you will get registration confirmation letter about one month prior to commencement of examination)
COURSE FEE
When joining for correspondence course, you will get study materials of the 4 common subject of Section A. The course fee for these four subjects is Rs 3500/- all those who join the correspondence course will get study materials, Question bank etc of the following subjects.
AD 301 Fundamentals of Design and Manufacturing
AD 302 Material Science and Engineering
AD 303 Computing and Informatics
AD 304 Society and Environment
Those who need Previous questions bank should remit Rs 250/- extra. The prices mentioned above include postage.
STUDY MATERIALS
The printed study materials were prepared by a team of teachers who had long periods of teaching experience exclusively in AMIE. The materials are available in neatly printed and bound form .Each topic in the materials is presented in a self-explanatory style, with a number of necessary figures, tables etc.
