Should I Choose Non-IIT Options for Aerospace Engineering?

Ans: Hi Sateesh. Glad to here that your son is in 11th std and interested in Aerospace Engg. There are many colleges across the country where your son can get admission. You may get the list of colleges/institutions even with the help of Google. But ask your son to score more and rank. If this is done, he may be admitted to IIT also. Based on his score, the institute can be chosen.

Ans: नमस्ते वेणु
एयरोस्पेस और एयरोनॉटिकल इंजीनियरिंग के 2 क्षेत्र हैं। आईआईटी के अलावा, वीआईटी वेल्लोर, एमआईटी डब्ल्यूपीयू, एमआईटी-एडीटी भारत में एयरोस्पेस के लिए अच्छे विकल्प हैं।

Ans: इसके लिए आपको आवश्यक शोध करने की आवश्यकता है। जहां तक ​​कैरियर की संभावना का सवाल है, यह एक बहुत ही निर्दिष्ट रेखा है और बिना शिक्षण के केवल ISSRO जैसे अनुसंधान संगठन ही वहां हैं। लेकिन निश्चित रूप से विदेशों में इसकी संभावना बहुत अधिक है। मैं आपको शीर्ष स्तर के आईआईटी में इसकी संभावना देखने का सुझाव दूंगा। यह एक बहुत अच्छी शाखा है, क्योंकि मुख्य धारा सीएस की ओर केंद्रित है, इसलिए उसके पास बेहतर अवसर होंगे। शुभकामनाएं। प्रोफेसर........:)
