Aeronautical Engineering

Aeronautical engineering involves the study, design and research of the machines or airplanes which moves in the space and air sphere of the earth. There are three types of courses in India of aeronautical engineering. Polytechnic Diploma course with the duration of 3 years after 10 or 10+2 examination. UG degree courses leading to the BE/B.Tech with the duration of 4 years after 10+2 examination. PG degree courses leading to the ME/M.Tech with the duration of 2 years after the completion of UG degree in engineering. Doctoral degree courses leading to the Ph.D. domain with the duration of 1-2 years after the completion of PG degree in AE. Admission Process:
Students need to appear in JEE Main to get the admission into engineering courses. For admission to PG engineering courses like M.Tech candidates have to appear in GATE exam. Specialisation:
