Aerospace Engineering

HI, both are pretty good field to study. It actually depends what interest you the most. A degree in aerospace engineering and a degree in aeronautical engineering both prepare students to design aircraft. In fact, aeronautical engineering is a branch of aerospace engineering. Though the two degree programs teach similar engineering principles, there is a critical distinction between designing for air and space. Aeronautical engineering is the practice of designing and building aircraft, like airplanes and helicopters. while in aerospace engineering, professionals design and build units like space shuttles and space stations. So its up to you what you find more interesting. There are very few colleges that are good for these kind of courses, you can go for Hindustan Inst of Engineering Technology, Chennai; Nehru College of Aeronautical and Applied Sciences, Coimbatore; UPES Dehradoon; School of Aviation Science and Technology, Delhi. All are good and have good infrastructure, faculty, curriculum, placements and industrial exposure. Industrial exposure is quite must to understand the nuances of this field. These colleges specially UPES make their students are actively involved in internships, projects to provide deep understanding of the field. Admissions notification are already out by some of the colleges like UPES for 2016 batch so hurry up. Good luck :)

Hi Prakash,
Aeronautical engineering is one of the most challenging branches of engineering. It has a wide scope of growth in the field of engineering. This field is concerned mostly with the technical as well as the mechanisms of the flying aircrafts. This is an emerging field. This field deals with the development of new technologies in aviation and defense systems. This field mainly consists of the construction, designing, working, testing, operation, maintenance of the space craft's, satellites, missiles, space vehicles, etc.,
List of top 10 institutes:
These are the top Aerospace/Aeronautical colleges in India
1.Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
2.Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
3.Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
4.Indian Institute of Technology Madras
5.PEC University of Technology , Chandigarh
6. Bengal Engineering and Science University , West Bengal
7.Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka ,Manipal
8.Sathyabama University ,Chennai
9.Acharya Institute of Technology ,Bangalore
10.Amrita School of Engineering ,Bangalore
For admission in a bachelor's degree, you need to complete 10+2 examination with science subject such as physics, maths and chemistry. For IITs, It is mandatory to qualify in the Joint Entrance Examinations (J.E.E). The duration for this course is 4 years.
Some of the exams are:
UPSEE,
SRMEEE,
CET,
COMEDK,
KCET, ,
EAMCET,
MPPEPT,
KEAM,
GPET,
BITSAT.
etc.
Also, some engineering institutes conduct their own entrance examination for admission. Below is the link for institutes offering engineering. You can refine the list as per your branch and city preference.

Hi Athish,
To be an aeronautical engineer one should have a graduate degree (B.E/B.Tech.) or at least a diploma in Aeronautics. The degree and postgraduate degree courses are offered by the engineering colleges and Institutes of Technology (IITs), and the diploma courses are available at polytechnics.
The basic eligibility criteria for a BE / B.Tech is 10+2 or equivalent examination, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and must have a fairly high percentage of marks in the aggregate. One must also pass the qualifying exam JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) conducted by the IIT's.

Hi Krishna,
The eligibility criteria for pursuing a master's degree are holding a bachelor's degree in B.E/B.Tech in Aerospace or any other equivalent branches of engineering.
Admissions are done on the basis of GATE score or often an entrance. However, it varies from institute to institute as different institutes have different admission eligibility and criteria.
