Hello Vishnu,

As an aircraft maintenance engineer, you have to ensure that an aircraft is safe to fly and the pieces of equipment are working well and are ready to load passengers.

Whereas, as an aeronautical engineer, you are required to handle the design and maintenance of an aircraft.

The above is related to maintenance training and the latter is related to design.

Both are equally good and have good career opportunities. So you need to look for your passion and pursue the same.

Hope this helps.
