Overview:

Learning about aerospace engineering can inspire awe at the seemingly unlimited potential of human flight and space exploration. B Tech Aerospace Engineering students learn the skills required to develop, manufacture, and maintain spacecraft, aircraft, missiles, and other systems. Aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering are the field's two primary, overlapping sections, which have traditionally focused on atmospheric and space travel concerns.During your BE aeronautical Engineering studies, you will be able to work on actual projects that apply engineering principles to real-world aeronautical challenges. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the research and manufacture of missiles, propulsion systems, satellites, and aircraft, as well as the design and testing of aerospace and aviation-related commodities, components, and assemblies.

Course Duration- The UG degree in Aerospace Engineering is for 4 years from any university in the country for 10+2 students and is  3 years for Diploma graduates.

Salient Features -

Eligibility & Admission

Eligibility for B.E./B.Tech:

• Students must have taken the 10+2/PUC/equivalent examination from a recognized board or university, with Physics, Math, and Computer Science as obligatory courses, and have an aggregate score of 50% (45% for SC/ST/OBC).
• The student should be 17 years old by December 2023.
• Students must have passed at least one of the following entry exams: JEE, CET, or UPSEE.

Admission Process

The ranking in the JEE national entrance exam, the KCET state-level entrance exam, or the direct university entrance exams determines whether a student is admitted to a B.E. or B. Tech program. Some colleges give places depending on students' performance on their 12th-grade exams. Please familiarise yourself with the various Entrance tests, the associated dates for the exams, and the cut-off in colleges as there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to admission.

Entrance Exams for Admission to B.E/B. Tech  Aerospace Engineering

To pursue a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, students must first take the National Entrance Examination (JEE) or State-level Entrance Exams such as KCET, MHT CET, WBJEE, or COMED-K, followed by University Entrance Exams. These examinations are critical entry points for aspiring students seeking admission to reputable universities.

Here are the details of the Top Entrance Exams for Engineering

• The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the JEE Main exam online over a three-hour period.
• The Indian Institute of Technology conducts the JEE Advanced (IIT JEE) exam online with a duration of three hours.
• The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) administers the KCET exam in offline format for one hour and twenty minutes.
• The West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam conducts the WBJEE exam in offline mode for a length of two hours.
• The Maharashtra Government conducts the MHT- CET test in offline mode with a time constraint of 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Future Scope

After earning a B.E. or B. Tech degree, an aerospace engineer can pursue one of four primary career pathways.
