Aerospace Engineering

Yes, In fact, many aerospace companies in India and abroad prefer hiring Mechanical Engineers. Because their skills are broader and more versatile. Aerospace is essentially a specialised branch of Mechanical Engineering. To transition, you can pursue a Master's (M.Tech/MS) in Aerospace or simply gain proficiency in tools like ANSYS, CATIA, and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to secure core roles in design and testing.

Yes, the market has shifted significantly. Opportunities were previously limited to government bodies like ISRO, DRDO, and HAL. Now this sector has opened up. The government introduced a new space policy. There is now a surge in hiring from private players and startups (like Skyroot and Agnikul Cosmos), as well as global MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) hubs being set up in India by companies like Boeing and Airbus.

After completing the M.Tech  Aerospace Engineering course from IIAEIT Pune, students can find opportunities in public and private Aerospace sectors, roles in aircraft/spacecraft design and manufacturing, research and development positions in defense labs, careers in national and international research institutes, and progression to doctoral studies and specialised research

Absolutely. The sector is booming with the privatization of the Indian space sector. Companies like Tata Advanced Systems, Godrej Aerospace, and startups like Skyroot are hiring aggressively. Combined with massive projects by ISRO (like Gaganyaan), the demand for skilled engineers in India is at an all-time high.

United States and Switzerland offer the highest packages. In USA, experienced aerospace engineers can earn over USD 140,000 annually. Also, most of universities to study this course are here in USA.
