To become an Aeronautical Engineer after 10th, focus on Science in 11th/12th (Physics, Chemistry, Maths), pass entrance exams like JEE Main and then pass B.Tech/B.E. in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering.

Or you can take a 3-year Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering after 10th to start early. 

Hope this helped solve your doubt! All the best!

Engineering Career

Obtaining a BSc degree makes a candidate have a general background in some of the several branches of sciences including physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and computer science. These degrees are usually provided for disciplines like Applied Science, Life Science, Physical Science and Computing Science.

On the other hand, a BTech degree takes one into the specific undertaking of technology and engineering. This community of discourse comprises of areas such as Chemical Computer Science Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering.

BTech degrees prepares students to become professionals by imparting knowledge and specialising in certain areas required for the job markets in the various sectors. If on the other hand you are interested in fields under the umbrella of technology or engineering then a BTech would be better for you. However, if you are more interested in a wider scientific education a BSc would be more in tune with what you wanted.
