Aeronautical Engineering

Hello dear,
Unlike other engineering programs you do not get a degree or Diploma after completion of course. This is a certification course. During the course one is trained to clear the licence exams conducted by DGCA (governing body for aviation) apart from the regular exams conducted by college. Clearing of the Gov license exams are mandatory (pass Mark is 70%) to become an engineer. Completion of the course of 3 years does not satisfy the requirements to be an engineer & may need to work as an aircraft technician for aminimumof 2 additional years on any aircraft. Aviation sector is still unstable with most of the airlines reporting losses and hence New vacancies are scarce. Pro's
Perks (free plane tickets) and benefits (6 digit salary) are good once you become an engineer. New airlines in the pipeline may create new vacancies including opportunities in the middle east. Only the most competitive minds get through the Gov license exams and hence challenging job ahead. Working on an aircraft is definitely exotic and exciting and is quite easy to be the showstopper of your neighborhood.

B.Tech in Automobile Engineering is an undergraduate engineering degree. Students passed in 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as subjects are eligible to take admission in this course. The duration of the course is four years. Admission in most of the colleges is done through various entrance tests conducted at national and state level. Top institutes offering this course are:
MIT, Manipal
SRM Engineering College
The Neotia College, Kolkata
Amity University, Noida
Chandigarh University
B.Tech in Automobile engineering deals with the study of various engines and their construction, electrical systems, alternative fuels, safety, economics and quality of an automobile. Candidates must have considerable understanding and interest in mechanics, electronics, and mathematics as these are vital skills required for making a good growth in Automobile Engineering. The Automobile Engineering graduates are placed in organizations specializing in products and services related to the automobile industry, software solutions, product and technology like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Daimler India Ltd, Honda, and Tata Consultancy Services. According to PayScale India, an automobile engineer can earn anywhere between INR 250,000 and 600,000 per annum average salary package.
What is automobile engineering?
Automobile Engineering is the sub-branch of Mechanical Engineering, also known as automotive engineering or vehicle engineering. The automobile industry includes automobiles and auto components sectors. The automobile engineering course caters to the creation and maintenance of automobiles, right from designing the vehicles to manufacturing components, assembling them, testing them for safety, repairing and maintaining. It also enables the engineers to explore new areas, create new avenues in the fields of R&D and develop their talent in new technologies.
Academic Options
There are options for higher studies after the completion of B.Tech. Students can pursue Master's degree in a specialised course. Students can take GATE to get admission in this course. Ph.D is another option for higher studies. Students can also opt for MBA course, which will take them to the managerial level in their career which is the most promising career option nowadays.
