Sir, is aeronautical engineering a good degree? I have heard there no jobs in this field?

Ans: It's a specialist branch and a handful of manufacturers with a large base of aeronautircal engineers to keep them in good flying fit shape. Therefore the jobs will not be as abundant as you would ahve for many other areas.

Sir my daughter is doing a job in HINDALCO, after B Tech from NIT Durgapur in Metallurgy and material science. She has cleared GATE and got M Tech in IIT Madras. Should she go for M Tech admission or go for PSU job based on her GATE score?
Ans: Chitrasen Sir, (You have not mentioned your daughter's GATE Score). However, please note, IIT Madras M.Tech Metallurgical and Materials Engineering delivers an advanced curriculum accredited by its top NIRF engineering ranking, taught by research-active faculty through centres like CAMMD, leveraging state-of-the-art computational and experimental laboratories. The two-year program admits 36 students via GATE MT, maintaining consistent placement outcomes of around 75% over the last three years. Graduates benefit from multinational recruiters and strong alumni networks fostering interdisciplinary research and industry collaborations across energy, aerospace, and biomedical sectors. Conversely, PSU jobs in metallurgy via GATE open roles in ONGC, BHEL, NTPC and SAIL, with general-category cutoffs near 40 marks, offering HRA, DA, medical benefits, pension schemes, and robust job security under government regulations. PSUs provide structured promotions, training programs, stable work-life balance, and social prestige for engineers. Considering these core aspects—curriculum rigor, faculty expertise, infrastructure, placement performance, and career support—the decision hinges on academic research exposure versus long-term security and government-backed benefits.

Recommendation: Accept the IIT Madras M.Tech admission to deepen expertise through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary labs, and global collaborations if academic advancement and specialized industry roles are priorities; choose a PSU position for immediate stability, structured career growth, and comprehensive benefits if long-term job security and government-backed perks outweigh further study. All the BEST for the Admission/Prosperous Future!
