Aeronautical Engineering

Aircraft engineering could be an exciting career if you are looking for something other than medicine and regular engineering courses. Although aircraft engineering is just another branch of engineering but it is very new field. Students who are anxious about aircraft engineering can read this article and find out everything that they need to know. Eligibility for aircraft engineering is you have to complete 10+2 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Math) and appear for an entrance exam. You can choose aerospace engineering course in a given college. You complete the course in 4 years and enter the job market. To get an entry level jobs just BE degree is good enough however for higher job posts you need Masters or a doctorate degree. Here are eligibility criteria for three years A.M.E. Course:
1. Must have passed 10+2 with 50% marks in aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Math.
2. Three Year Diploma in any branch of Engineering
3. B.Sc. After 10+2 with math, physics and chemistry. In order to get a job you have to get a license from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Hello Shaik,
1)Huge Campus
2) Good Faculty, Very Few (Hope they remain by your time)
Cons
1) Labs equal to None (Many instruments are not working and we were just told to write manual without performing)
2) Industrial visit (Rarely planned industrial visit, we had only two -one at Indus university and other at Airport, which doesn't relate much to the practical/industry exposure)
3) Placements, as per my knowledge and from the words of my friends in Last year there will be no core company visiting for the branch. Let just go off core branch, who will like to work in IT local company after spending Lacs of fees.
4) Fees, The annual tuition fees will amount near approximately to 1 Lacs. A hefty amount compared to the quality. As they have deemed university they will * out small amount of money now and then during a year by showing various exam fees and so on!
Now here is my 2 cents advice to you for the Aeronautical field, After completing undergraduate you will find it very hard to get the job in core field because to be straight forward in India there are just manufacturing unit and Indian Aerospace companies being basically an IT mainly are in providing solution to big players (Airbus and Boeing) in CFD.

Hello Tanmoy,
Upon completion of 4 years' degree course, you are trained and qualified to design and test aircraft, engines and related equipment. After graduation, you may continue further studies, and do MS/M.Tech Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineer, and thereafter you can do Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral programme.
On the other hand, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is a 3 year's optional vocational training course approved by DGCA Director General of Civil Aviation. The training course allows you to apply for the BAMEL Basic Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License, after completion of the Training programme. It is also possible to apply for the License Exam directly to DGCA, if employed as a Mechanic/Technician with an Airline. Having aviation experience of 35 years allows you to clear the examination modules conducted by DGCA, and be eligible for the BAMEL LWTR License without Type Rating. This is not a degree programme, therefore it is not possible to study further PG, Doctoral and post Doctoral studies. It is like a vocation training, a certificate course. It is not even equivalent to a Diploma. Aircraft maintenance engineer A.M.E. is a low profile, blue collar job, compared to an aeronautical engineer.
