Q:   What are the salary packages for an aerospace engineer?

A: 

Hello, I would try to give out as rational an answer as possible. Salaries or CTC varies across India for the same qualification. Hence one answer may NOT fit all situations. For example, a CSE branch graduate from IIT Mumbai is likely to bag a big offer as compared with a CSE graduate from say a small place in Maharashtra. Also, the demand-supply position matters a lot. However, I can say that if one gets a Govt. job, the salary could be 1.5L per month. But in the private sector, it could be 75K per month. Experience will earn you more. Best wishes to you.

Postgraduate Eligibility: Candidates must hold a BTech/BE degree in Aeronautical Engineering as a prerequisite for admission to the Mtech programme in Aeronautical Engineering.

Q:   Is Aeronautical Engineering good for females?

A: 

Hey,

Yes, definitely. If students are good at PCM and have an interest in aircraft mechanisms, they should pursue this course without any hesitation regardless of their gender. In fact, universities provide reservations to women in order to ensure gender equality and attract more female participation in these courses. Furthermore, recruiters such as Air Force and airlines hire more women and are paid at par with their male counterparts.

Therefore, female candidates are motivated to pursue BTech in Aeronautical Engineering and contribute to the development of this industry.

Hope this helps !
