Aeronautical Engineering

Hello Roshan,
Placement cell of Manipal is quite good. But, if the Industry is not doing well then placement will not happen. Aeronautical Engineering is unfortunately in this category. Alumni response is quite discouraging. But then where are the companies doing research in aeronautics in India? You may get job in a production line. Majority of the students go abroad for PG.

IIT Powai is the best Aeronautical Engineering Institute of India with respect to academics, brand image, alumni network and placement records. You may refer to following link for list of top Aeronautical Engineering degree colleges in India:

The college is really good for aeronautical engineering. We have very good professionals and lab facilities to help the students understand all the concepts as well as they can. Placements are not so much as of now because the knowledge from undergraduate studies is barely enough to qualify you for a job in the field of aeronautics but you can expect an initial package of Rs 3-5 lakhs.

Yes, you will get admission in aeronautical engineering after completing Diploma in mechanical engineering.
I would suggest, you should continue with mechanical engineering because it has a huge scope in near future and
you can also go in the aeronautical field after that.

Dear Suyash,
Obviously, yes. You can take admission in any college all over India.For that you will have to appear in JEE exam & get good marks & will have to appear in counselling conducted by college.

Hello MD Fahad,
It's good to know that you want to become an astronaut. But unfortunately only one Indian national has become an astronaut till now. He was a fighter pilot in IAF.
Aerospace is the name of the industry that produces aeronautical products.
A lot of colleges offer aeronautical engineering. IIT's, NIT's and many others.

Sorry to say but these marks are very low as per the selection criteria. You can try for other branches.

Fresh Aeronautical Engineers from IITs can get starting salary of Rs 6 to 12 Lakhs per annum in India depending on the type of company. Salaries in Western developed countries will vary between 60K USD to 100K USD per annum. Some brilliant students who have written and published technical papers may get higher salaries in countries like USA or Germany.

Hello Shikhar,
Entrance exams, subsequent merit list or Ranking are the inevitable evils you have to face today. Earlier, you accept it the better.
No college worth mentioning accepts students without entrance exam.
