Manipal Institute of Technology MAHE Answered Questions

Mechanical engineering, any day. It's a traditional engineering branch that has promising career options. MIT is far ahead of VIT in terms of faculty and placement. Also, the campus is cool and is situated in the hills. I'd suggest you go for mechanical engineering especially if you are interested in machines and a better career.

VIT can offer good research paperwork by which you can publish your own work but I don't think many people do research. The same research work happens in MIT also but the numbers are a bit less. If coming to the placement and facilities MIT has an upper hand.

Hello Adhyant,
It is of course very nice to see that the dream of your son is to become an astronaut. However, one must look at the ground realities of our dreams. Invariably no country will select nationals from other countries to become astronauts. Hence, your son cannot become astronaut in America or Russia or China only the three countries at the moment or even from other countries whose nationals Russia has trained and sent in space as astronauts like the Indian astronaut who was sent aboard Russian vehicle. Now, which qualification will make you an astronaut is a very difficult to answer. It all depends on the requirement. It could be a pilot, it could be a specialist in some branch of science, or it could be an engineer also. But, becoming an aeronautical engineer will not necessarily help you in becoming an astronaut. It all will depend on how much money Indian government wants to spend on putting an Indian astronaut in space aboard our own vehicle and what criteria ISRO decides. I, personally feel that they will invariably plump for and aviator or a fighter pilot from the Indian Air Force, as they are already medically fit. But, it would be the call of ISRO only. In view of this I would recommend that your son should do whatever course he feels is the best for him or which he fascinates.
Best wishes.

You have decided to join the India's largest growing field and aeronautical engineering is the best now a days. The aeronautical engineering consists of airplanes engineering, construction, designing and aircraft's performance.
if you eagerly want to do this engineering than start learning about basics of aerodynamics which will enhance your learning of aeronautical engineering.
Wish you all the best.
