The courses vary a lot in terms of eligibility, fees and duration, but the final outcome; placements are assured and pretty lucrative.
The industry can be broadly classified into 2 major technical domains:
1. Aeronautical & Avionics engineering
2. Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering:
The modern air vehicles undergo stern atmospheric, pressured, temperature &structural loads conditions on its various components. The technologies that come into play are aerodynamics, avionics, material science and propulsion which collectively are called Aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering deals with the variegated branches in aeronautical & astronomical engineering. Out of which aeronautical engineering seem to have tremendous scope both in India as well as abroad. These institutes provide the best of faculty, Equipments, Labs and make sure that the students get a professional niche among their global peers.

8. School of Aviation Science and Technology, Delhi Flying Club, New Delhi,
9. Hindustan Institute of Aeronautics, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
10. VSM Aerospace, Chelekere, Bangalore Karnataka
Eligibility: To be an aeronautical engineer one must have a graduate degree(BE/BTECH) or at least a Diploma in aeronautics which most of the polytechnics offer .the criteria is 10+2 with a minimum of 60%. For better scrutinizing, universities have started conducting an Entrance exam. The IITs have their Joint Engineering Exam (JEE) and other institute conducts their autonomous entrance exams, with the state and national level exams for the government & regional engineering colleges
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers:
With the boom of myriad airplanes coming to India, the need for Aircraft maintenance engineers (AME’s) is going to amplify like anything. This can further be classified as:
A&C Engineers: Engine, Airframe
Avionics Engineers: Aircraft Instruments, Aircraft Communication & Navigation, Aircraft Electrical power systems
