To a student in Maharashtra seeking to pursue Aerospace Engineering in Bangalore, the most optimum place is the R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE). It is also one of the best privately-owned engineering colleges in India and it has a B.E. in Aerospace Engineering with good academic, research, and industrial exposure. RVCE has laboratories that are properly equipped, simulation equipment, and qualified faculty members in the fields of aerodynamics, propulsion, and structures. The college also collaborates with DRDO, HAL and ISRO and provides students with first hand experience in aerospace industry.

Admission: Maharashtra students may submit an application using the COMEDK UGET entrance examination because KCET is accessible exclusively to Karnataka students. Management quota seats are also to be filled using JEE Main scores. The Aerospace Engineering cut-off of the COMEDK in RVCE is generally approximately 9,000 rank which is a competitive course.

Fees: In out-of-state students, the annual tuition fee under COMEDK would be about 2-3 Lacs and under management quota the annual tuition fee would be about 5-6 lakh. Outstation students have access to the hostel facilities that are equipped with decent accommodation and mess facilities.

Other good choices in Bangalore in case RVCE is out of the pocket are MS Ramaiah institute of technology (MSRIT), Dayananda Sagar University (DSU) and Acharya institute of technology (AIT). These colleges offer also good aeronautical or aerospace major, the latest laboratories and job placements with aerospace, defense and manufacturing firms.

On the whole, RVCE is the most preferred college because of its good academic status, research centers as well as the placement history. Nevertheless, non-state students are to think twice about the prices and position in the ranking. Coming ready to COMEDK and having MSRIT or DSU as a contingency plan gives one a very good opportunity of getting admission to a well-known aerospace course in Bangalore.
