hi,
For lateral entry into aeronautical/aerospace engineering, you must have a Diploma in Engineering (like E&E) with required minimum marks (usually 50–60%). You can apply directly to colleges offering B.Tech lateral entry (2nd year). The process includes filling the application form, appearing for a lateral entry entrance test (state-level or university-level) or merit-based admission, followed by counseling and document verification. Some states like Karnataka use centralized counseling (KEA).

hi,
No, you cannot join IITs through lateral entry after a diploma. Institutes like Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and other Indian Institutes of Technology only admit students into B.Tech (including aeronautical/aerospace) through the regular first-year route via Joint Entrance Examination Advanced, after qualifying Joint Entrance Examination Main. Diploma holders must follow the same process and start from first year—there is no direct 2nd-year entry.

hi,
With 45% in your board exams, your admission at Parul University depends on the course. For most engineering programs, the minimum eligibility is around 45% in PCM, so you may be eligible, but admission is not guaranteed—it depends on seat availability and specific course requirements. For non-engineering or design courses, eligibility may be easier. You should apply early and confirm with the admissions office.
Lovely Professional University (LPU) has slightly higher eligibility for many programs, usually around 50–60%, though some courses may accept lower scores with conditions. LPU offers modern infrastructure, industry exposu

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!
