No, you do not get a job there right after the course. ISRO and HAL hire through their own exams and interviews. Good marks, projects, and internships help you get selected. Many students first join private aerospace companies and then try for ISRO or HAL later. A college in Bangalore helps because these organisations are nearby, so you can find internships and meet people in the field.

Aerospace engineering covers all flight whether it is on Earth or out in space (airplanes, rockets and satellites). Aeronautical engineering only covers flight within Earth's atmosphere (airplanes, helicopters and drones).

Aerospace engineers look at the big picture like deep space travel but aeronautical engineers focus strictly on regular flight controls, wind movement on Earth and airports.

Both jobs require you to be great at math and physics but aerospace takes you to outer space while aeronautical keeps you within Earth's sky.
