Aerospace Engineering Placement

Lovely Professional University (LPU) does offer placements for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering, but the placement scenario for this specific branch is more modest compared to core IT or CSE branches, and outcomes can vary widely depending on your performance and preparation. Overall university placement figures are strong, with thousands of recruiters visiting campus and high packages in other disciplines, but for aerospace the trend is different. In general placements for aerospace students at LPU are less frequent and more competitive, with many students placed through roles related to mechanical or general engineering rather than pure aerospace core companies. According to student reports, around 50–70% of aerospace students often secure placement offers, with average packages typically around 5–8 Lacs rupees per annum, and a few students getting higher compensation depending on performance and recruiter interest. Recruiters may include airlines, aerospace‑related firms, and mechanical sector firms, but core aerospace recruiters are not as common on campus as in premier institutes. Typical companies mentioned include airline and aerospace firms such as Air India, Indigo, Collins Aerospace, and Tata Advanced Systems, though opportunities with them may be limited and competitive. Some students also pursue higher studies or off‑campus placements to improve prospects. LPU's overall placement support, industry connections, and training resources do help you prepare for interviews and internships, but if your goal is pure aerospace R&D or core engineering roles at major aerospace firms, you may need proactive preparation outside campus drives and consider additional certifications or internships to stand out.

What the Data says in Aerospace / Related Branches at CU.

Placement Rate & Recruiters

Chandigarh University boasted of 50 plus companies in Mechanical, Automobile and Aerospace Engineering in the placement drive of batches 202425.


It also reports that more than 94 percent of students in these branches (Mech/Auto/Aero) got jobs during campus placements.


Top and average salary (CTC) Numbers.

Most recent placement drives had a top domestic engineering package university-wide of about RS 54.75 LPA. 


But in the case of Mechanical, Automobile and Aerospace Engineering in particular the maximum package that has been reported in one of the more recent drives was 11.5 LPA.
The Wire

In earlier data or student reviews, specifically in the aerospace case, we can find references to aerospace having the highest price of - -14-15 LPA, average of -6-7 LPA (or less in certain reviews) based on batch and eligibility.

Student Feedback & Realities

It has been reviewed that in one aerospace batch, 10-15 students were placed in a batch of 60 (which appears to be low, but could be due to eligibility, performance or company demands).
Shiksha

There are internships that can be done and some of them are related to organisations. But new aerospace graduate roles are sometimes all more on the maintenance, design support end testing than directly high-end R&D or space industry positions (dependent on performance and opportunity).
