B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Aeronautical Engineering is an Under-Graduate Aerospace engineering course. The Bachelor of Technology course in Aerospace Engineering is the primary branch of engineering behind the design, construction, and science of aircraft and spacecraft. The Bachelor of Technology course in the Aerospace Engineering field is broken into two major and overlapping branches these are aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. The former deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere, and the latter deals with craft that operates outside of Earth's atmosphere.

The Bachelor of Technology course in the Aerospace Engineering field also covers their aerodynamic characteristics and behaviors, airfoil, control surfaces, lift, drag, and other properties. The duration of the course is four years, but it may be more or less than the prescribed one. The Bachelor of Technology course in the Aerospace Engineering field is very valuable and a career originating in the space technology field.

B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering Eligibility

  • Aspiring students should have passed secondary examinations in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. These subjects must be compulsory, and students should have obtained an impressive aggregate.
  • The next step is of clearing the Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE) conducted by IITs in January and May every year. Several other institutes conduct their own entrance examinations.
  • Other criteria involve having good eye-sight, acute observation power, the ability to handle crisis situations, effective communication skills, and an analytical brain.

B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering Course Suitability

  • Aeronautical engineers should have an eye for detail and be good at problem-solving. They need mathematical precision and design skills, computer skills, and the ability to communicate well.
  • They also need good planning ability and a knack for working under pressure. An aeronautical engineer needs to be physically fit and may need to often work at great speed, especially in checking and maintenance of aircraft during turnarounds.
  • They must have normal color vision.

How is the B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering Course Beneficial?

  • Aeronautical engineering is one of the most exciting career prospects in India. This course offers not only exciting job prospects in top companies but at the same time, one gets this lifetime thrill of becoming a pilot and roaming in space.
  • Most of these passed-out aeronautical engineers are hired by ISRO.
  • Other aircraft manufacturers and prestigious departments like
    • National Aeronautical Laboratory
    • Civil Aviation Department
    • Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
    • Defense Research and Development Laboratories (DRDO)
  • These engineers can also opt for green pastures in foreign countries.
  • Jobs are available with the national, international, public, and private Airline Services as well as aircraft-manufacturing units.
