Dear Reader,
The shortest and the least expensive route to become a graduate engineer is AMIE. Below
we furnish the details of AMIE postal course.
What is AMIE?
AMIE is the only way through which one can

study engineering in the distance education

Recognized Engineering Degree. AMIE stands for

mode and get a

Associate Member of

Institution of Engineers. It is a deg ree leve l exam ination in engineering. That m eans, those who
successfully complete AMIE will get equal opportuni ties for job as well as higher education, just
like a B.E or B.Tech holder.
It is nonformal
The attraction of AMIE is that it is a non-

formal course. Hence, anyone who meets the

specified ed ucational qu alification a nd have a d esire to bec ome a graduate engineer can do this
course in le ast possible time! This course is esp ecially suitable for e mployed person, as they can
study this course without being in terfering their job, whether they are in India or abroad. Persons
who are employed can realise thei r dream of be coming qualified Engineers and can im prove their
position and employment prospects by passing the AMIE examinations through Postal Coaching.
Who Can Study AMIE ?
Those who wish to do AMIE must have any one of the following qualifications.
1. A recognized 3-year Polytechnic Diplom a or its equivalent in any bran ch of engineering.
(No marks restriction)
OR
2. +2/HSC/Inter with Physics, Chemistry& Mathematics with minimum 45% marks.
If you possess any qualification higher than or equivalent to the above, still then
you are eligible to apply for AMIE.
Those who pursue AMIE after their Diplom a c ourse are usually known as Diplom a
Stream Students, and others are known as Non-Diploma Stream Students.

3
So, AMIE is the only recognized engineerin

g course that can be studied without

entrance-exam, mark restrictions and even in the distance education mode.

The IEI
The Institution of Engineers (India) Kolkata, is the largest profess ional body of engineers in
India. The IEI started non-form al e ngineering e ducation programm e in 1928. It is authority that
prepares syllabus, conducts exam ination and issu e certifica tes etc. of AMIE. Jyothis Academy is
not an agency but a coaching center for AMIE. Ap art from regular and postal coaching, we help
students community in arranging AMIE admission. The official website if IEI is www.ieindia.info
Membership
The services and benefits of IEI is offered onl y to its members. Hence in order to appear for
AMIE exam ination, one has to becom

e a m ember of IEI. This m

embership is called ST/T

membership. Anyone who got membership becomes eligible for appearing AMIE examination. The
membership/admission/Enrollment is given to ALL wh

o m eet the stipulated eligibility c riteria.

There is no any screening or merit listing.

For joining AMIE course, one should apply fo

r m embership in the specified application

form.
Diploma holders are usually

called Senior Technician Memb ers, and +2 (or equivalent)

holders are called Technician members.

Recognition
The AMIE course is recognized in India an abroad and has been approved as equivalent to
B.Tech/B.E by
PSC, UPSC
Govt. of India
All State Govt. in India
AICTE etc.
Anyone who passes AMIE exam ination will be considered as a B.Tech or B.E holder for
job as well as higher education. Hence, once who completes AMIE can try for job in either Govt. or
private sector just like any ot

her B.E or B.Tech graduate. He

can enjoy all benefits of other

graduate engineers. After AMIE, you are eligible for GATE examination and can go for any higher
studies.
SYLLABUS
The syllabus of AMIE examination is more or less similar to B.E/B.Tech.

4
JYOTHIS ACADEMY
Kottayam

But the total number of subjects to be studied in AMIE is very less.

The AMIE syllabus has two parts:- S ection A and Section B (similar to First year , Second
year etc. of any formal degree course).
Those who join for AMIE m ust pass all subjec ts in Section A first, thereafter he should
study Section B.
In Section A we study subjects which are fund

amental to engineerin g. In section B, we

make in-depth 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 qualified graduate
engineer.
The num ber of subjects one should study

in Section A depends on the qualifying

examination passed. A diplom a holder need to study only 4 subjects in Section A, while a nondiploma (+2 holder) studies 10 subj ects in Section A. All the subjects in Section A are compulsory
subjects.
Following are the subjects in Section A
1. Fundamentals of Design and Manufacturing
2. Material Science and Engineering
3. Computing and Informatics

For
Diploma
holders

4. Society and Environment

5. Mechanical science

For +2 holders

6. Engineering Physics and Chemistry

7. Engineering Drawing and Graphics
8. Electronics and Instrumentation
9. Engineering Mathematics
10. Electrical Science.
The detailed subject-wise syllabus shall be given to you along with our post course materials.
On completion of section A, a student takes ad mission to Section B. In section B, student is
asked to select a branch of engineering. Following are the engineering branches available.
1. Electronics and communication Engineering
2. Electrical Engineering
3. Computer Science and Engineering

5
4. Civil Engineering
5. Mechanical Engineering
6. Production Engineering
7. Chemical Engineering
8. Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
9. Mining Engineering
10. Production Engineering
11. Textile Engineering
12. Architectural Engineering.
Of the above 12 engineering branches availa ble, a student can choose A NY branch as
he wishes. This is one of the attractions of

AMIE. For exam ple, a s tudent studied Autom obile

engineering in Diploma level can choose Computer Science or Electronics etc in AMIE !!!!
Both Diploma and Non-di ploma holders should study 9 subjects in Se ction B . Of this 9
subjects, 6 are com pulsory and 3 are optional.
Institution of Engineers has incl

In order to im

uded project work and lab expe

part practical knowledge, the

riments as part of section B

syllabus.
In short, a +2 holder can com plete AMIE by clearing just 10 + 9 = 19 subjects, whereas for
a diploma holder, the total subject is 4 + 9 = 13 only.
The project work m ay be done in the sam e firm/company where the student is presently
engaged in. For doing laboratory experim

ent, th e In stitution of E ngineers will con tact the

authorities o f som e engineering college/s imilar t echnical ins titution near est to th e lo cation of th e
student and make necessary arrangement.
DURATION
Another feature of AMIE is its flexibility
courses, the AMIE doesnt have

in com pletion tim e. Apart from conventional

a fixed completion tim e. Ho wever 6 years are available for

clearing all Section A subjects and another 6 years for completing Section B.
However, with systematic study one can complete the course in minimum time. This is how
it works:- In one sem ester a student can appear for maximum 4 subjects. If a student appears and
clears maximum number of subjects in each attempt then he can clear AMIE in minimum time.

6
EXAMINATION
AMIE exam inations are conducted in ever

y June and Decem ber. The exam ination is

written-type and is of 3 hour duration: No laboratory exam; No internal assessment; No Viva.

The examinations are conducted in all major cities in India and Gulf Countries.

How to Study
The AMIE exam syllabus is freely downloada ble from websites. The IEI doesnt take any
responsibility for teaching you. The IEI will co nduct examination and will issu e certificates th at
thats all. Students m ust find their own way to study the subject to prepare well for exa mination.
Since AMIE is a degree level exam

ination, a pe ripheral knowledge on the subject will not be

sufficient for scoring pass mark in the exam.

MIE. Our faculty highly
