Aeronautical Engineering

Starting salary of aeronautical engineer in India is between INR 3.5 and INR 6 lakh/ year. It is much less than salaries in developed countries.

Graduates of top universities worldwide get decent salary offers. SpaceX, NASA, and Airbus are some of the top recruiters.

Hi Prasad,

Yes, you can take admission to a BTech in Aeronautical Engineering after completing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering through the lateral entry scheme directly into second year (3rd semester). There are some colleges which may offer lateral admission. For that, please chck college website for detailed requirements.

Also, even if there is no lateral admission offered, you can still apply for BTech Aeronautical Engineering and start the UG course from Semester 1 since you have a PCM background in Class 12 (mandatory for Engineering courses).  

Hope this helped in solving your doubt! All the best!

To become an Aeronautical Engineer after 10th, focus on Science in 11th/12th (Physics, Chemistry, Maths), pass entrance exams like JEE Main and then pass B.Tech/B.E. in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering.

Or you can take a 3-year Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering after 10th to start early. 

Hope this helped solve your doubt! All the best!

No, you don't really. You'll get all the practical and theory-based knowledge required in the field. Though having a few abilities beforehand will help you achieve success a lot faster and easier.

• Strong hold on Mathematics and Physics
• Analytical skills
• Attention to detail
• Problem-solving skills
• CAD Software proficiency

Of course, it is. Top government organizations like ISRO, DRDO, IAF, etc., hire Aeronautical Engineers for many job roles. On top of that, they are also in high demand in private aviation and manufacturing sectors. 

In fact, over the past few years, the evolving space exploration has also created a lot of new job options for new Aeronautical Engineering professionals.
