What AAI Applicants Often Miss
- ATC posts need a science degree with Physics and Mathematics, or an engineering degree, and good spoken English tested in the voice test.
- Junior Executive (Engineering) uses GATE scores only, and the GATE year must match the notice.
- Junior Assistant (Fire Service) includes a physical and driving test, and needs a valid heavy vehicle licence or the type the notice specifies.
Preparing for AAI Recruitment
For engineering trainee posts, a strong GATE score is often the key to the shortlist, followed by a group discussion and interview where your core subjects and final-year project are discussed. Read about the company's business and recent projects before the interview.
Eligibility for AAI Jobs
Each AAI notification sets the qualification and age limits for its posts. Central government recruitment explains the standard age relaxations and the mistakes that get applications rejected.
Pay and Benefits at AAI
AAI pays on its own company scales. Executives are usually on industrial dearness allowance (IDA) pay scales, with allowances paid as a share of basic pay and performance-related pay that depends on the company's results. Trainees move to a regular grade after training.
