QnA related to Aerospace Engineering

Ask your question related to Aerospace Engineering

Hello,

Typically the cutoff for aerospace engineering is determined by the entrance exam (like JEE Advanced or GATE) and institution and category-like factors. For example, in the JEE Advanced, you need to rank in ranges of 1400 to 2800 for admission to top IITs in the general category.

I hope it will clear your category!!

Hello

Aerospace Engineering is offered at top IITs like Bombay, Kanpur, Madras, and Kharagpur. The minimum (best) cut-off ranks are around 1,100–1,300 in General category for top IITs like IIT Bombay.

The maximum (last) cut-off ranks go up to 6,000–7,000 in lower-ranked IITs or for reserved categories. Female-only and EWS categories may see closing ranks near 5,500–7,000.

These cut-offs vary each year depending on difficulty level and seat availability. A safer rank for the General category is under 2,500 to secure Aerospace in a top IIT.

HELLO,

Yes you can pursue a M.Tech in aerospace engineering after completing a B.Tech or B.E. in Aeronautical Engineering

You will likely need to appear for the GATE exam and meet the specific eligibility criteria of the institute where you want to apply, most institutes require a minimum of 50 percent in your undergraduate B.E./B.Tech degree along with a satisfactory performance in the GATE exam

Hope this Helps!

Hello,

If you want to pursue an aerospace dual degree program in IITs, generally you need to get ranks in the range of 5000 to 10,000. But, if you want to go to older IITs, you need a rank in the range of 2,300 to 4,500. Also, you should check the official JoSAA website to check the specific cutoff.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Thank you

Hello Aspirant,

Normally the period between the final merit list and option filling for MHT CET (PCM) can be anytime between 01 to 03 days. It is important for candidates to check the official CET (https://cetcell.mahacet.org/) Cell website on a regular basis, this will give the candidates an idea of when option filling will begin, all options are based on the official CET Cell schedule since it may vary from year to year. Have your documents, your preferences of college available before the window to fill options opens up; it is brief and will matter for allotment.

Hello,

To get accurate details, please ask your question with the name and location of the college.

Thank you !

Hello Vikas,

Yes, Flowthermolab is a great platform for understanding CFD, particularly for mechanical and aerospace engineers. Offering courses with industry relevance that expose students to a combination of practical tools such as ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM alongside background theoretical studies. Their project-based learning enables students to apply and synthesize knowledge from their academic studies in preparation for working in the field of thermal and fluid sciences, and is great for career building purposes.

Ajeenkya DY Patil University in Pune offers a BTech in Aerospace Engineering that includes core subjects such as aircraft structures, propulsion systems, aerodynamics, and space technology. The course is designed to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical exposure through labs and workshops.


The university claims to offer internship opportunities as early as the first year. Students are expected to work on real-world industry projects and attend technical sessions, but the actual quality and depth of these internships may vary depending on partnerships and student performance.


In terms of placements, ADYPU states that it has over 140 recruiting companies visiting for engineering branches. The average package for engineering students ranges between 4 point 5 to 6 point 5 lakh per annum. The highest package reported is around 19 to 21 lakh per annum. However, it is important to note that these figures are overall and not specific to aerospace engineering.


For aerospace specifically, placement opportunities may be limited unless you are exceptionally skilled or have completed strong internships. Core aerospace companies like ISRO or DRDO generally prefer candidates from top-tier institutes or those with competitive research backgrounds.


If your goal is strong placement and industry exposure in aerospace, ADYPU is not among the top recommended colleges. While it is improving, it still lacks the national reputation and alumni network that many recruiters look for in this field.


Better options for aerospace engineering in Maharashtra, excluding IIT Bombay, include College of Engineering Pune, MIT World Peace University Pune, and Vishwakarma Institute of Technology. These colleges have better industry ties and established academic records.


In conclusion, ADYPU can be considered if you are looking for an affordable private university with a developing infrastructure and are willing to build your own career path. However, for better placements and training, colleges like COEP or MIT WPU offer stronger value and recognition.
