Ques. Is Amity University the best for aerospace engineering?

● Top Answer By Tanushree Chakraborty on 07 May 21

Ans. One of my friends studied aerospace engineering at Amity University, so let me share his experiences about the college and also the true facts about Amity University. Amity University offers two programs in Aerospace - BTech in Aerospace Engineering and a Dual degree program ( Integrated BTech + MTech). There are very few experienced faculty members in both of these departments. They are not very active and supportive. The course curriculum is well designed, however, the teaching methodology is not very impressive. The department is very strict about the attendance of students. The students need to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance. The department debarred the students who fail to attain 75% attendance in any subject. The aerospace department is separated from the Amity School of Engineering and technology and thus the students miss out on most of the events and programs. The student crowd is huge at Amity. There are various spots of the student crowd such as Domino, CCD, Small market, Salons, etc. huge events are being organized for students. Categories Aerospace Engineering at Amity Course Fee 9.20 lakh Placement Percentage 30-40% Highest CTC 10-13 LPA Average CTC 4-5 LPA Recruiting Companies Rockwell, Wipro, Indigo, Spice JET, Tech Mahindra, etc. The campus placement is not good in the aerospace department. Either you will be selected in Defence or any IT company. There are no internship opportunities available. You will hardly get a package ranging from INR 4-5 LPA. The course fee is also high in respect to the placement given. The course curriculum is mainly theoretical and very less practical. You should try for another better college for doing Aerospace rather than in Amity.Read more

Ques. What marks and rank is required to get Aerospace Engineering in IIT Bombay in JEE Advanced 2024?

● Top Answer By Adwait Tejas on 20 Mar 23

Ans. The JEE Advanced cutoff 2023 for Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay has not been released yet.  Factors determining IITs Cutoff 2023 for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering are Previous years’ cutoff trends Difficulty level of JEE Advanced 2023. The total number of candidates who appeared for the entrance examination. Number of applicants for Aerospace Engineering in each institute. Previous Years’ IITs Cutoff for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering You can check the previous years’ cutoff of IITs for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering for reference from the tables given below. Category  Cutoff General 2119 OBC 1211 EWS 496 General (PWD) 164 SC 726 ST 396 As far as marks are considered I think scoring above 50% of the maximum marks will guarantee a rank close to 2000 which is sufficient for getting Aerospace at IITK, IIT-KGP, IITM but maybe not IIT-B. However, don't limit your efforts to attain the required rank only. Work hard and give your best and try to rank as high as you can. Also, I would suggest you to go for IIT Kanpur if you are interested in Aerospace as it has better facilities in this branch. But it is a well-known fact that the job prospects in Aerospace are very limited in India. If you get a rank of more than 10000, go for IIST, Trivandrum. Read more

Ques. How is Hindustan University for aerospace engineering?

● Top Answer By Anita Mukherjee on 08 Apr 21

Ans. One of my friends studies at Hindustan University. So, I know a little bit about the institute.  Hindustan University is recognized as a great platform for Aerospace Engineering. But the institute owes its reputation to the students who go out of their way to excel in academics without much help from the institute. According to my friend’s experience, the institute does not offer support of any kind, be it lab equipment, leniency in attendance, or time. The institute charges high fines for low attendance. It also has a dress code for the laboratory which is quite uncomfortable. According to authority, it is for the protection of the students. However, there are either computer-related laboratory works or lectures, so there is actually no need for uncomfortable uniforms.  Also, students are not allowed to use most of the equipment in the laboratory. According to authorities, it could be potentially dangerous.  Overall, at Hindustan University you won’t have many facilities, placement offers, or any kind of support. So, it would be better to opt for other options.Read more

Ques. Is it worthwhile to join aerospace engineering in IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU?

● Top Answer By Yogita Taneja on 26 Feb 21

Ans. One of my elder brothers has completed his B.E degree in Aerospace from BESU, Shibpur.  As per him, Aerospace Engineering is the youngest Department and lacks of proper infrastructure. He also mentioned the poor planning, and except for some professors, other teachers do not have even the knowledge about what they are teaching. However, professors with proper subject knowledge are just awesome; rather, they are the coolest professors in this institute.  Additionally, the positive thing about this institute is that all the professors have a logical mindset. They are always prepared to do any sort of experimentation related to the course. They are always ready to implement any practicable criticism that may approach their way to research. Moreover, the term “worthwhile” is much related to campus recruitment. Considering this, my elder brother honestly told me that if a student wants to engage with Aerospace Engineering, it is better than going for a higher study. This is so because the institute does not provide any job opportunity after completing M.Tech. Aerospace Engineering is a new stream in India and if you wants to establish in this field, then it is better to try foreign universities. It is because India still not have a good infrastructure for the development of its own aerospace industry. Besides, the private organisations that offer a job in India are comparatively very low than Russia, Germany and France. The only sole organisation is Hindustan Aeronautics, and it does not have any competitors. Thus, the student must choose to study Aerospace Engineering very wisely, and they must analyse future job perspectives first.Read more

Ques. Which one is better: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur, aerospace engineering in IIT Madras, mechanical engineering IIT BHU, or ECE in IIT BHU?

● Top Answer By Admin on 21 Jun 24

Ans. First of all you need to lose this ideology that ECE has more scope and mechanical or aerospace engineering has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities.  I also had the same dilemma and I chose Aerospace engineering at IIT Madras over other departments due to following reasons:- IIT Madras has state of the art facilities that focus on practical and industry oriented knowledge. The syllabus of Aerospace follows the latest curriculum and incorporates the latest industry trends such as Structures, Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Controls, and System Design. IIT Madras is in the heart of the city with a lot of entertainment hubs nearby. IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of  4th with IIT Madras at 1st and IIT BHU at 15th. The Average salary for IIT BHU Mechanical and ECE is 12.5 LPA and 22.85 LPA . The Average package for IIT Madras Aerospace Engineering is 21 LPA .

Ques. Which is better to opt, aerospace engineering in IIT Madras or CSE in NIT Trichy?

● Top Answer By Aditi Goswami on 30 Mar 23

Ans. Anyone who has the option of choosing IIT Madras must without further thinking grab the opportunity. IIT Madras is Ranked the No.1 Engineering college for the past few subsequent years. Joining IIT Madras will let you change your branch based on your CGPA IIT Madras has excellent culture and peer groups and fairs much better than NIT Trichy in this aspect. The level of competition at IIT Madras is higher and thus you will grow continuously unlike NIT where you will already be among the toppers The plethora of opportunities and exposure at IIT Madras is incomparable to that at NIT Trichy. My friend was a graduate student of Automotive Engineering (Engineering Design) from IIT Madras but ended up with a career in Data Science and Algorithmic Trading. Thus every engineer irrespective of his branch should be proficient in at least one programming language. Choose your college wisely as it’s responsible for shaping and steering your career.Read more
