Hello Lily,

Manipal Institute of Technology(MIT) does not offer a dedicated Aerospace Engineering however, it provides a B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering, covering key aspects of aircraft design. propulsion, and aerodynamics. for more details, refer to the official program page.

Hope this message finds you well,

Thank you.

Yes, you can pursue Aerospace Engineering after completing a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics in India. However, there are a few key points to consider:

Options Available:

1. M.Tech./M.E. in Aerospace Engineering

You need to qualify GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) in a relevant paper (e.g., Engineering Sciences – XE, Mathematics – MA, or Aerospace Engineering – AE).

Some IITs, IISc, and other top institutes allow non-engineering graduates with strong mathematical backgrounds.

2. M.Sc./M.Tech. in Computational Mechanics or Fluid Dynamics

Some institutes offer related fields where mathematics plays a significant role in aerospace applications.

3. Direct Admission to Aerospace Engineering Courses Abroad

Many foreign universities accept a B.Sc. in Mathematics for M.S. programs in Aerospace Engineering with prerequisite courses.

Key Challenges:

1. Since B.Sc. Mathematics students lack core engineering subjects, you may need to take bridge courses in physics, mechanics, and engineering basics.
2. Some IITs/NITs may not accept B.Sc. grads directly for M.Tech. in Aerospace, so you have to check specific eligibility criteria first.

Hello,

After your GATE result , follow these steps to get admission in M.Tech Aerospace Engineering :

1. Check Cutoff: Look for the GATE cutoff of institutes offering M.Tech in Aerospace.

2. Apply for COAP (IITs) or CCMT (NITs): If you want admission in IITs , register for COAP . For NITs, IIITs , apply through CCMT .

3. Apply to Institutes Individually: Some institutes like IISc, private universities (BITS, UPES, etc.) have their own admission process. Check their websites.

4. Attend Counselling & Interview (if required): Some IITs/IISc may conduct interviews after shortlisting.

5. Finalize Admission: Accept the offer and complete fee payment to confirm your seat.

Apply on time and keep checking official websites for updates!

Hope it helps !

With an 81.3 percentile in JEE Main as an SC category female candidate, securing Aerospace Engineering at NIT Surathkal is unlikely, as past SC category cutoffs for engineering branches were within a rank of 6,000. Your estimated rank is significantly higher, reducing admission chances. However, cutoffs fluctuate, so participating in JoSAA counseling, exploring other NITs, or considering alternative institutions is advisable. If feasible, reappearing for JEE Main to improve your score could enhance your chances in the next admission cycle.

Hello Vikas,

Here are some M.Tech Aerospace Engineering colleges in India that don't require GATE :

Hello there,

Based on your AEEE percentile of 25.67 , securing a B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham's Coimbatore campus under Slab 3 is highly unlikely. Historically, admission to Aerospace Engineering at the Coimbatore campus requires significantly higher percentiles. For instance, in previous years, the closing ranks for Aerospace Engineering were around 16,796, corresponding to much higher percentiles.

Given your current percentile, it would be prudent to explore alternative engineering branches or consider other campuses where the cutoff percentiles align more closely with your score. Additionally, you might want to look into other institutions that offer Aerospace Engineering with more accessible admission criteria.
