Aeronautical Engineering

To be a private pilot (of small planes, single engine, single crew, day only, clear meter only, etc), you need to be at least 17 y.o., have a medical certificate, pass the radio exam, pass the theoric exam (includes aviation laws, navigation, meteo, how a plane works and flies, etc), have at least 50 hours of in-flight experience (including a cross-country flight, solo flights, etc), and pass the flight test (with an examiner of Transport Canada).
Then, if you want to go professional (and actually get paid for flying), you need the Commercial pilot licence. It requires the previous licence (Private pilot), another 50 hours of experience and additional qualification that you must pick up after the private pilot licence and before applying for the exams for the commercial one. These qualifications include stuff light night flight and flight by the instrument (for example when you're in a fog and depend solely on your instrument). The medical certificate required is also more restrictive.
After getting the commercial pilot licence, you can get paid to fly small planes with 1 to 3 passengers. You need to get an additional qualification to move onto bigger planes, which might require more flight experience. Pilots of big airliners, like B747 or A320, have thousands of hours of experience in flight.
Each step mentioned here is increasingly expensive, so you'll usually manage to do all that by being paid to fly, once you get your commercial licence. But before getting the commercial licence, you'll need training for both theory and practice, which will have to be assumed by yourself. In Quebec, there's a public school (the CQFA, which is a Cgep, so where tuition fees are mostly paid by the government) that offers the formation up to the commercial licence, but it is very hard to get admitted. You can also try the military, or (if you're 12 y.o.) enrol into the Canadian Air Cadets, spend 45 years there and apply to be one of the few in the country to receive a free private pilot formation. Some company in the aerospace industry will encourage you by offering to cover some few fees.
I also heard that other countries have different requirements and path to get the formation. For example, I heard cases where people got their licence while studying (aerospace) engineering in France because their school was encouraging it and was covering a lot of the fees for the formation.

Aeronautical Engineering: Eligibility Criteria
Any candidate who wishes to pursue Aeronautical Engineering must fulfill the following eligibility criteria:
-Aeronautical Engineering is offered in by many engineering colleges in India. Admission criteria for - Aeronautical Engineers is JEE Main and JEE Advanced score
-The basic eligibility criteria for aeronautical engineering is minimum 70-75% marks in aggregate in PCM in class XII
-Diploma holders in aircraft maintenance engineering can acquire degrees on clearing the exams of the Aeronautical Society of India
-For admission to Postgraduate and Doctoral programmes, the candidate must have completed Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering
-Many institutions like IITs IISc, Science research institutions accept GATE score as admission to Masters degree the discipline.

Hi, Let me break it down for you:
Ranking: SRM ranks 11 on the list of the best private sector colleges in india while Manipal is off the charts. Infrastructure & facilities: Srm boasts a 250 acre campus in Chennai which is the biggest of its kind with a 100 mbps network connection spread through out the campus. Aeronautical hanger: Srm hold an aeronautical hanger which consists of :
A computational fluid dynamics laboratory with standard software has been established
A subsonic research wind tunnel with hot wire anemometer, pressure scanner and precision manometers is available
A full-fledged aerospace structural mechanics laboratory is under development
The associated laboratories such as CAD Lab, Dynamics Lab, Metrology Lab, and Metallurgy Lab in the sister departments of the school are made available to students
Supersonic Windtunnel (Mach 2.5 to 3.5)
Blower Tunnel
Jet Tunnel
Water flow channel for flow visualization
Air bus simulator
Fees : At srm you have to pay a lot less than what you have to pay at manipal, even though SRM being tge better of the two. SRM has collaborations with over 70 and over international institutions and rich programs like semester abroad programme, dual degree programme and twinning programs to get the most of the 4 year course time. Hope you make the right choice cheers.
