Career

Hi,
As you are interested in aviation, you may pursue courses regarding aviation industry. There are various kind of courses in aviation like Commercial Pilots, Helicopter Pilot, Airlines cabin crew, Airlines technical staff or the ground staff.
You can also opt to pursue Masters in Aviation management after your graduation, there are many institutes offering Aviation management courses like Avalon Aviation Academy.
IAF is one of the most challenging career field. There are different levels under which people are hired in IAF, One is the Intermediate level (i.e. after +2), or after graduation or after post-graduation.
There are mainly three branches under which you can work and serve towards IAF as an officer, flying branch, technical branch and ground staff.
Both Men and Women are offered positions in all the three branches. All the branches have different set of eligibility criteria and age limits.
Flying branch - Graduate in any stream with Mathematics and Physics in +2 is important and max age limit is 23.
Technical Branch- You can join in any of the two aeronautical engineering streams - Electronics/ Mechanical depending on the education background, education qualification required is AMIE in electronics or mechanical, the maximum age limit is 28 years.
And for the last Branch which is the Ground staff the most common eligibility criteria is a graduate degree (B.Com in case of Accounts Division) with a minimum score of 60%. There are various sub branched in the ground duty to work in, like administration, accounts, stock/ logistics.
Also, remember that physical fitness is one of the most important aspect to be eligible and to be shortlisted for IAF and there is a separate exam to qualify a physical test.

Hi Puranjay,
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 crafts, satellites, missiles, space vehicles, etc.,
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
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 Utkarsh,
The options are unlimited, as you have done your class 12 with science. With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural science, dairy science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology).
Apart from doing the degree level courses in science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. you can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses. For pursuing a course in engineering you should have Maths as compulsory subject in 10+2.
However, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Website: www.aiims.ac.in or www.aiims.edu, offers B.Tech (Biotechnology) with Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. To get admission in the top medical college in India you would need to score above 90% in 12th and do very well in entrance exam.
With a PCM combination of subjects, you can pursue almost any field you set your mind on. You can of course do engineering which is a professional degree and has streams such as Electrical, Mechanical, Electronic and Communication etc. You can do your graduation in subjects of your interest, even switching to Humanities or Commerce streams if you so desire.
You can do a BCA (Computer Applications), BBA (Business Administration), Law, Civil Aviation – Pilot, Astronomy, Architecture, Design, Mass Communication, Merchant Navy, Defense Forces, Psychology, Civil Services etc. To decide on the course, you should analyze your strengths, career goals, interests, personality, aptitude and ability. If you decide based on these parameters you will put in your best effort and will be successful in your chosen field.
