No, IITs do not offer Aeronautical Engineering as a separate branch. However, the top IITs offer Aerospace Engineering — which is a bigger and better version of the same field. It covers not just aircraft, but also rockets, satellites, and spacecraft.

IITs with Aerospace Engineering:

  • IIT Bombay
  • IIT Madras
  • IIT Kanpur
  • IIT Kharagpur
  • IIT Delhi (via Mechanical with specialization)

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).

Lovely Professional University offers lateral entry into B.Tech Aerospace Engineering based on diploma marks or LPUNEST, with modern labs, go

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.

Lovely Professional University offers a flexible pathway for diploma students by allowing lateral entry into B.Tech programs. With industry-oriented curriculum, modern labs, inte

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
