Aerospace Engineering Colleges in India

Students should distinguish between a highly ranked engineering institution and an institution that currently offers Aerospace Engineering at the desired level.

  • IIT Madras
  • IIT Bombay
  • IIT Kharagpur
  • IIT Kanpur
  • Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology
  • Indian Institute of Science for relevant postgraduate and research study
  • SRM Institute of Science and Technology
  • Amity University
  • SASTRA University
  • Lovely Professional University
  • Chandigarh University
  • Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences
  • Other public and private institutions offering verified programmes

Programme level matters. An institution may offer B.Tech, M.Tech or PhD without offering all three.

Important college-listing warning

A general NIRF list of top engineering institutions is not automatically a list of Aerospace Engineering colleges. Each institution must be checked for:

  • Current programme availability
  • Degree level
  • Department
  • Admission route
  • Seat intake
  • Fee
  • Programme status

How to evaluate a department

  • Curriculum depth
  • Faculty qualifications
  • Wind-tunnel access
  • Propulsion laboratories
  • Structures laboratories
  • Flight simulation
  • Avionics facilities
  • Computing resources
  • Student design teams
  • Research activity
  • Internship support
  • Branch-specific placements
  • Alumni outcomes
  • Accreditation
  • Total cost

Questions to ask

  • Is the programme active?
  • How many full-time Aerospace faculty members teach?
  • Which laboratories are operational?
  • How often do undergraduates use them?
  • Which software is officially available?
  • What recent projects were completed?
  • How many students received core roles?
  • How many pursued postgraduate study?
  • Are internships guaranteed or competitive?
  • What is the total programme cost?
