2. Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering is a well-known branch of engineering that attracts students with
interest in airplanes and their mechanism. The primary job of an Aeronautical Engineer is to
devise aircraft and propulsion systems, but with time, the engineer is given many more
responsibilities to carry out. Recruitment opportunities are available in defense services and
aviation industry
Engineering in aeronauticsis taxing because of its vast syllabus which necessitates a lot of
thoroughness and hard work. However, completion of course is rewarding for any student as it
leads to a job with good remunerations. An engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering
helps one in getting job in aviation industry, defense establishments, and civil aviation
department. The average salary of an aeronautical engineer is INR 6 lakhs or more. With
experience, the earning grows manifold.
Here’s an overview of Aeronautical Engineering for students who plan to pursue it as a career.
How do one get started?
To pursue a course in Aeronautical engineering, students must have studied physics and
mathematics in school. Courses in aeronautics prepare candidates for jobs in the field of
aerospace and aviation. Classes in these fields are typically part of an undergraduate or graduate
degree program. Aeronautical courses are available at undergraduate, postgraduate, and
doctorate level.
These courses help candidates in becoming air traffic controllers and maintenance technician as
they get hands-on experience on aircraft manufacturing, mechanics, and engineering.
Required Skillset for Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering being a technical skill requires professional with keep observation and
strong calculative skills.
Here are a few qualities one should possess to be a successful Aeronautical Engineer:
Skillset for Aeronautical Engineering Aspirants
Speed and accuracy – since aircrafts have to be serviced in a short time Manual, technical and mechanical aptitude
Strong sense of responsibility Alertness and presence of mind
Must have leadership qualities but also be able to work in team Normal colour vision
Physical fitness and good height Strong analytical ability

3. Aeronautical Engineering: Eligibility Criteria
The average cost of a undergraduate program is around INR 1 Lakh per annum while the average
cost of a PG program is around INR 2 Lakh per annum. Diploma course in aeronautics costs
around INR 60,000-1,00,000 annually. Any candidate who wishes to pursue Aeronautical
Engineering must fulfill the following eligibility criteria:
• Aeronautical Engineering is offered in by many engineering colleges in India. Admission
criteria for Aeronautical Engineers is JEE Main and JEE Advanced score
• The basic eligibility criteria for aeronautical engineering is minimum 70-75% marks in
aggregate in PCM in class XII
• Diploma holders in aircraft maintenance engineering can acquire degrees on clearing the
exams of the Aeronautical Society of India
• For admission to Postgraduate and Doctoral programmes, the candidate must have completed
Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering
• Many institutions like IITs IISc, Science research institutions accept GATE score as
admission to Master’s degree the discipline
