Aeronautical Engineering

Alpine College of Management and technology (Dehradun).

General placements: College has an excellent overall placement data, although branch-specific data is not availed clearly.

Aeronautical (core) placements: Media. Such core aeronautical jobs (aerospace R&D, aircraft design) are not assured by campus placements, like most private colleges.

Jobs available: The majority of Aeronautical students are put in IT, software, operations, manufacturing, QA or a general engineering job, and not necessarily aerospace.

Average package: Placed students will have an average package of about 3-5 LPA.

Best packages: Premium packages sold are typically not routine or general aeronautical functions, but special or exceptional cases.

Recruiters: Firms visiting the campus primarily are firms in IT and service-based business; there are occasional and few references to aviation.

Internships: Alpine aviation ecosystem has some aviation related internships, but it does not guarantee placements.

Reality Check

there are less core jobs in Aeronautical Engineering in India.

It can be required that students have good projects, CAD tools (CATIA/SolidWorks), internships or advanced education (M.Tech / MS) in order to be absorbed into core aerospace firms such as HAL, DRDO, ISRO, Boeing, etc.

Bottom Line
The average placement assistance of the B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering is provided by the Alpine College.
It is acceptable to a general engineering career, but not the best one in case you want to be sure of core aeronautical placements. Campus placements are not the only point. Success is heavily relied on what you can do, internships, and additional specialization.

Diploma in Aeronautical engineering A 3 year polytechnique degree dealing with aircraft design, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance. It teaches technical information of the aircraft functioning and equips students with aviation related employment.

Eligibility:
After Class 10 study can include students with Science and Mathematics. Majority of the institutes need 40-50 percent marks. Entrance tests are taken in some colleges whereas most of the colleges do direct admissions based on merit.

Course Structure:
The Diploma also consists of theoretical courses and hands-on training. Key subjects include:

Aerodynamics

Aircraft Structures

Aircraft Propulsion

Aircraft Materials

Aviation Systems and Instruments.

Aviation Safety and Regulations.

Engineering Drawing and CAD

Introduction to Electrical and Electronics.

Workshop Practices

Students are also involved in labs and can have industry placements in aviation companies or maintenance facilities.

Skills Gained:
You study aircraft maintenance, troubleshooting, component testing, repair procedures, drafting and safety rules that are needed in the aviation employment.

Career Opportunities:
Graduates may also do work in airports, airlines, aircraft manufacturing companies, MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) facilities, defence organisations such as DRDO, HAL, ISRO (in support capacity). Common job roles include:

Plane Maintenance Technician.

Aeronautical Technician

Quality Control Inspector

CAD Technician

Aviation Assembly Technician.

Salary:
The average salaries received by freshers are of 15,000-25,000 per month and the salaries may increase up to 30000-60000 + depending on the company and job description.

Higher Studies:
Students may undertake B.Tech Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering after the Diploma as a lateral entry (direct 2 and year). It can also take B.Tech in Mechanical, Mechatronics or do AME (Aircraft Maintenance engineering).

Who Should Choose It:
The students who have interest in aircraft, space and engineering and those who want to be able to enter the career early in aviation or want to continue their studies in the aeronautical world.

To a student in Maharashtra seeking to pursue Aerospace Engineering in Bangalore, the most optimum place is the R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE). It is also one of the best privately-owned engineering colleges in India and it has a B.E. in Aerospace Engineering with good academic, research, and industrial exposure. RVCE has laboratories that are properly equipped, simulation equipment, and qualified faculty members in the fields of aerodynamics, propulsion, and structures. The college also collaborates with DRDO, HAL and ISRO and provides students with first hand experience in aerospace industry.

Admission: Maharashtra students may submit an application using the COMEDK UGET entrance examination because KCET is accessible exclusively to Karnataka students. Management quota seats are also to be filled using JEE Main scores. The Aerospace Engineering cut-off of the COMEDK in RVCE is generally approximately 9,000 rank which is a competitive course.

Fees: In out-of-state students, the annual tuition fee under COMEDK would be about 2-3 Lacs and under management quota the annual tuition fee would be about 5-6 lakh. Outstation students have access to the hostel facilities that are equipped with decent accommodation and mess facilities.

Other good choices in Bangalore in case RVCE is out of the pocket are MS Ramaiah institute of technology (MSRIT), Dayananda Sagar University (DSU) and Acharya institute of technology (AIT). These colleges offer also good aeronautical or aerospace major, the latest laboratories and job placements with aerospace, defense and manufacturing firms.

On the whole, RVCE is the most preferred college because of its good academic status, research centers as well as the placement history. Nevertheless, non-state students are to think twice about the prices and position in the ranking. Coming ready to COMEDK and having MSRIT or DSU as a contingency plan gives one a very good opportunity of getting admission to a well-known aerospace course in Bangalore.
