What is the scope of Aerospace Engineering in India and abroad for an IIT graduate?

Today, aerospace engineering is growing at a steady rate among the other engineering fields in India. However, outside India, it has already been established in the past years and has many more opportunities than in India.

Both the government and private sector come into play when we talk about the aerospace industry. Government Organizations: Some of the biggest government organizations that are involved in the aerospace industry today are 

• SRO
• DRDO
• NAL
• HAL
• ISRO 

To secure a job in these huge organizations, one needs to pass an interesting exam and sit for an interview. These organizations have decent salary packages. In the private sector, some of the biggest organizations are 

• Boeing
• Airbus
• GE Aviation
• TATA advanced materials limited
• Honeywell
• GKN Aerospace
• TATA advanced systems
• Mahindra Aerospace 

Academia: Another job prospect of an aerospace engineer within India is to enter academia. This basically means you have to conduct research at sum Institute and reputed research centers and pursue a Ph.D. at an IIT. Very few people go for this option.

Abroad: For job prospects outside India one needs to pursue an MS or Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. They don’t consider BTech pass-outs for their jobs unless they get a permanent residence permit and also higher education in the form of a master's and Ph.D. However, you can go for research in this field as it is not restricted on the basis of nationality. You can work in NASA or ESA provided that you are simply good at what you do.

These were some of the job prospects in the aerospace field. For more information, you can contact people from this background and enquire about career prospects in aerospace engineering.
