Are you interested in studying aerospace engineering? There are many universities in India which offers graduate, postgraduate and doctoral level studies in aerospace engineering.
Aerospace is a stream of engineering which deals with design and development of aircraft and spacecraft which is subdivided into aeronautical engineering and aerospace engineering.
Aeronautical engineering deals with the design and development of atmospheric flying vehicles and aerospace deals with research and development of space vehicles.
Due to the importance of the aerospace field, most of the universities around the world gave high priority to the aerospace engineering course and research in the aerospace field. All famous universities across India and around the world offers different types of aerospace engineering courses.
Most of the University’s aerospace engineering courses are undergraduate and postgraduate studies in aerospace and its subfields.
Apart from this, some aerospace engineering courses are available as diploma programs or certificate courses. The aerospace engineering diploma and certificate courses are provided by universities as well as other certified authorities like Director General of Civil Aviation.
In India aerospace engineering-related courses are offered by most of the famous universities that include graduate, postgraduate and doctoral level studies which include IIT’s , IIST, IISC etc.
