Aeronautical Engineering

Hi Nikil,
I am not sure about the colleges in Bangalore, but I know a friend who pursued B.Tech Aerospace Engineering with Specialization in Avionics (http://www.upes.ac.in/upes_btech/aerospace_engg_with_specialization_avionics.php) from University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, and is now placed as a Satellite Engineer and is earning pretty well.
The universities also offer a B.Tech degree in aerospace engineering. (http://www.upes.ac.in/upes_btech/aerospace_engg.php), I think you can go for this university as UPES is well renowned in the sector and I've read about the students from Aerospace engineering participating in various international space competitions.
Recently the students won CanSat competition that held in Burkett, Texas, USA and the news was covered in top newspapers of the country.
The college is very well in terms of providing a good platform to students.
The faculty is also well known and it is also situated in Dehradun which is another benefit for Aerospace students.

There are several universities and colleges that offer aeronautical or aerospace engineering courses. Amongst them, the most famous ones are the IITs, SRM, and PEC University of Technology. For the government colleges, you have to give the JEE Mains Examination and obtain a reasonably good rank. For entry into IITs, the JEE Advance examination has to be given and the rank in that should be less than 3000 to get Aerospace in an IIT. For the private Universities, however, the admission criteria vary depending on the institution.
This is for obtaining B.Tech in aerospace. However, you can also do an undergraduate course in related fields such as mechanical or computer science and then pursue a master in Aeronautical. Although the field of specialization will be restricted by your undergrad field.
