Is aerospace engineering a good option for a good career?

Have you ever seen the big spacecrafts & rockets and imagined how they have been constructed??

How they have worked?

The answer is right here “Aerospace Engineering”

Aerospace engineering is that branch of which deals with the design, development , testing and production of aircraft and related system like missile, rocket-propulsion systems, space-shuttle etc.

Now let's come to your question, Yes it's a great career option. Aerospace is one of the most coveted fields of engineering today, since so many students wish to get into this sector. A lot of students now want to work with prestigious organizations such as ISRO, NASA, HAL, etc, and even the private sector such as Airbus, BMW, etc.

To study Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering, it is essential to target the right institutions as they provide a challenging environment, as well as scope for growth for any individual. The subjects needed to study Engineering in class 11th and 12th are – Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Admissions to programs are based on entrance examinations, the most popular being the JEE Mains and Advanced, VITEEE, SRMJEE, GATE, etc.

Here are some of the top programs in the country you should be targeting if Aerospace is the field for you:

• Indian Institute of Technology, Madras – B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering
• Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay – B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering
• Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur – B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering
