About Course 

Aeronautical engineering is a field of Aerospace Engineering. Some of the institutes also offer this course as a specialization of aerospace engineering at the postgraduate level. This field of engineering comprises the study of designing and building aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters.

The curriculum of B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering covers various fields such as planning, designing, structures, aerodynamics, impetus, streamlined features, and frameworks of aircraft. The four-year program is a combination of applied physics and engineering.

Why Choose Course And Required Skills 

A career in aeronautical engineering can lead to many global opportunities for you. There are many public sector organizations and private sector companies that hire aerospace engineers to design, test, and help manufacture missiles, aircraft, spacecraft, and satellites.

Eligibility  

The eligibility criteria for B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering are as follows - 

1. Applicants should be at least 10+2 qualified from a recognized Board

2. Applicants should at least have secured more than or equivalent to 60% aggregate in their qualifying examination in the science stream

3. It is compulsory for the applicants to have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at the 10+2 level

4. Students with an equivalent qualification can also apply

Entrance Exams Details

Admission Process 

There are two ways through which admission into the B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering programme is given. One through engineering entrance exams and the other through management quota seats. In the entrance exam process, the candidates have to produce their valid entrance exam scorecard, i.e either a national-level entrance examination scorecard or a state-level entrance test scorecard. Candidates can also apply for admission to select institutions which conduct its own entrance tests. On the basis of the candidates’ performance in their respective qualifying exams and entrance exams, a merit list is prepared by the institutions followed by the conduct of counselling rounds. The final seat allotment is done after the counselling rounds conclude. 

Some institutions reserve a certain number of seats as management quota seats and candidates willing to apply for admission in these management quota seats have to just fulfil the minimum eligibility criteria. No entrance exam scorecard is required in this scenario.
