Aeronautical Engineering

Aerospace Engineering is a much broader branch of study when compared with aeronautical engineering. The word “space” itself defines it. Aeronautical engineering is a narrow branch which is limited to the study of the design of the aircraft's while aerospace engineering is the study of all the space craft's that are used within and out of the earth's atmosphere

There is common entrance exam called the Manipal University Online Entrance Test. Based on the results you can choose the branch you want.

To become a pilot, you've to go for pilot training. To become a scientist you can go for Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering.

Aeronautical engineering in there in only a few selected colleges in India. Manipal is by far one of the best colleges for it. The professors are very passionate and knowledgeable about the subjects. We have machines which are only there in IIT's. The labs are amazing. You can do a lot of experimental research. We have a non working plane also for better studies and also flight simulation system.

Eyesight does not mattet for engineering.

Barely any company comes for Aeronautical Engineering. A few that usually come are GE, Honeywell, Quest Global.

yea , u can do it like in Chennai HIET , Amet are there

There are lot of institutes which offer Aeronautical Engineering. I will like to recommend following: IIT Mumbai, PEC Chandigarh, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology , Manipal Institute of Technology, Amity Institute of Aerospace.

Both Aeronautical and Petroleum engineering are niche degrees with major opportunities in Government and Public Sector Units. Opportunities in both the field are similar. Currently because of international oil price crash Petroleum industry is in bit of crisis worldwide. However I feel it's a temporary phenomenon. If both subject are of equal interest to you, choose your specialization based on Institute brand image, ranking and placement record.

Aeronautical Engineering is good option for both boys and girls. You have a role model in Kalpana Chawla. Kalpana Chawla was the first woman of Indian origin in space. She was a masters in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington USA.
