Aeronautical Engineer

Aerospace Engineers who work specifically with aircraft are known as Aeronautical Engineers and those working with Spacecraft are known as Astronautical Engineers. Aeronautical Engineering is not a very big field in India as there is only one aircraft manufacturer in the country namely HAL. However, many Aeronautical Engineers get jobs in Airlines for aircraft maintenance and overhauling.
There are two ways to became an Aeronautical Engineer after 10+2 with PCM. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Chennai offer 4 years B.Tech course. Otherwise one become an associate member of the “Aeronautical Society of India” after passing Part A & Part B examination conducted by the society which is equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautics. This certificate course is a correspondence course but one will have to undergo practical training through some affiliated institutes like.

National Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Ballapur, Dehradun.
Delhi Institute of Aeronautical Studies, Chirag Delhi, Delhi.
