What is the best institute for aerospace engineering

Hello Nagarajan Subramanian

What is aerospace engineering?

• It is the construction, design and maintenance of aircrafts, missiles, spacecrafts and weapon systems. Main focuses include fuel efficiency, flight safety, environmental impact and operating costs.
• The two fields in which you can work as an aerospace engineer are research and development, and testing and maintenance.
• Aerospace engineers also work on finding malfunctions in the parts and investigation of air craft crashes.
• The course includes the study of Fluid Mechanics, Astro-dynamics, Statics and Dynamics (engineering mechanics), Mathematics, Electrotechnology, Control engineering, Aircraft structures, Materials science, Solid mechanics, Aeroelasticity, Avionics, Software, Risk and reliability, Noise control, Aeroacoustics, Flight test etc.

Eligibility:

• Candidates applying must have had completed their 12th grade examination with Science i.e. Physics, chemistry and mathematics.
• The candidate must appear for the JEE Main examination in order to get admissions in these colleges.

I hope this answers your queries.

Do revert back in case of any further doubts.

Hi Nagarjan!

The best colleges to study aerospace is none other than IITs. Aerospace of IIT KANPUR is well known otherwise other IITs too have a reputated name for this branch,

all the best!
