But our carrier is better for it

Aerospace engineering is broadly divided into two types of engineering- aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

An Aeronautical Engineer is crucial in the research, design, development and performance testing of commercial and military airplanes, weapon systems. Aeronautical engineers improve flight safety & fuel efficiency, develop control systems, analyze new materials and use advanced technologies to meet customer needs and reduce the environmental impact of air commute.

Coming to the next question, scope of aeronautical engineering in India. This is a difficult question to answer in every aspects, of course you get a lot of opportunities in government sector but it isn’t enough. I guess nothing is enough and that shouldn’t stop you from taking up this course or profession if you are passionate about it and things involved interests you.

What all can I do after Aeronautical Engineering?

Maintenance of Aircraft - Aerospace Engineers test new aerodynamic and aviation systems, and maintain them.

Aircraft Designer - Aerospace Engineers specializing in this field deal with designing, constructing, and testing aircraft, missiles, and spacecrafts. They may conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptability of materials and equipment to aircraft design and manufacture.

Aviation Engineer- Aerospace Engineers in this field deal with the airport design, aircraft navigation technologies, and aerodrome planning.

Defence - Aeronautical Engineers in this field deal with creation, maintenance and deployment of defence aircrafts such as fighter jets, choppers, bombers, etc. Also the job requires to be able to handle such aircraft at necessary times.

Where all can I work?

As everyone here mentioned right, you can work in government sector with ISRO, DRDO, HAL, etc. And then we can look at private companies such as L & T, Godrej & Boyce aerospace, Boeing, Airbus, Mahindra, etc

You can also go for Indian airforce and Indian Navy.

Hope this helps you.
