Aerospace Engineering

Specialization
Aerospace engineering is a course to enhance and apply your knowledge of science and engineering in the field of aviation. As many governments and private companies sponsor the surge in space exploration, enthusiastic applicants are coming in exponentially. This course provides knowledge in avionics lab, rocket science, applied physics, organic and inorganic chemistry, extraterrestrial biology, and the like. Your skills developed during diploma, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies will see employment in defense, space exploration, aviation technology, and telecommunication.
Course Overview
General Entry Requirement
Certificate courses can be pursued if you have a ten or 10+2 certificate from a recognized board.
UG diploma certificates need 10+2 credentials to apply for.
PG diploma courses need UG passing certificate from a recognized college.
Doctoral studies need PG passing certificates, so respective universities conduct national entrance tests.
Certain colleges like Amity University and SRM University will organize online certification courses for 10+2 students. Most of these are entrance-based admissions.
Which courses are available?
Many technology and science institutes offer many advanced courses in aerospace engineering. Many students go abroad to get high-end practical experience and world-class guidance. U.S.A, Russia, and Germany are the main facilitators in these cases. However, in India, you can pursue online or offline certificate courses, PG and UG diplomas, bachelor's and master's studies, and doctorates from world-renowned universities.
