An aeronautical engineer has to primarily deal with aircrafts with his roles ranging from conduction of test runs, overseeing research and development, design, maintenance and manufacturing military and civil aircrafts. They are constantly exploring and availing new software and technologies to develop, create and design helicopters, jetliners, and passenger aircrafts.

Dear Nani,

You should always prefer a branch according to your skill and interest. 

It depends on which type of job you want to do in future. 

If we compare the branches then Mechanical engineering has very wide scope. It is applicable in every type of industry. It has better

For IIT-B, the cutoffs in the past few years have been in between 1.5k and 2k for Aerospace. The same have been ~2.5k-2.7k for IIT-K, and ~3k for IIT-M and IIT-KGP.

Regarding marks, scoring slightly above 50% of the max marks will surely land you with a rank close to

Dear Faizan,

This is something you need to decide for yourself. We would only suggest that do not go as per the common trend or what your friends want to do. Just pursue what your are good at or what your passion is. Something you have good knowledge about or

Aeronautical engineering is a study about the design and systems of an aircraft. It involves practical and theoretical understanding of materials, assembling parts, testing and maintenance of aircrafts. The course also enables students to attain knowledge of advanced technology used in aircrafts travelling in outer space.
