Sorry for the wrong typing mistake. My question is as follows. Given that a student has a keen interest in working with ISRO, which would be a better option - Aerospace engineering (Delhi NIT) or Mechanical engineering (Delhi NIT)?

Ans: Hi,
if you want an IIT tag for a lifetime then go with Indore. NIT Trichy is an old & renowned institution

Ans: Prefer NI-T-Mechnical. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Ans: Both options, by mistake, you have wrongly typed the same. Please correct it and ask.

Ans: For a student interested in working with ISRO, both Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Delhi NIT (National Institute of Technology Delhi) can be good options. Aerospace Engineering would be the more specialized and directly relevant choice. It aligns closely with the core activities of ISRO and would provide targeted knowledge and skills for a career in space exploration. However, if the student values a broader education with versatile applications, Mechanical Engineering is also a strong option and can lead to opportunities at ISRO, especially with a focus on aerospace-related electives and projects.
The job market for Aerospace Engineers can be more limited compared to Mechanical Engineers, as it is closely tied to the aerospace and defense industries. These sectors may not have as many job openings, and employment can be more cyclical, depending on government contracts and economic factors. For that reason, Aerospace Engineering is sometimes perceived as a less-preferred or "lower" branch compared to Mechanical Engineering. There are many other factors
