Dear Aspirant,

Whatever proficiency you may possess in your academics (advanced, intermediate/average, beginner) there is a specific skill set that is required to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering. Clarity of concepts of the topics taught in the science stream, observational skills that catch detail, innovation, creativity, physical stamina, scientific base and analysis and leadership are examples of skills required to pursue the course. The B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering is a four year undergraduate course that makes the aspirant competent enough to battle the stress and the long term pressures of the field.

Essentially, Aerospace Engineering involves the manufacture of aircrafts, weapon systems and spacecrafts. It all revolves around the principles and techniques of Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Robotics, Electricity etc.  As long as it suits your interests, the course can be enrolled by a student from any class. The basic eligibility to pursue the course is passing higher secondary or 10+2 with a minimum of 60 per cent marks (55 per cent marks for SC/ST) in Science stream (Physics, Chemistry and Maths).

Depending on the college, the fee structure of the course varies .
