For admission in a bachelor's degree, you need to complete 10+2 examination with science subject such as physics, Maths and chemistry. For IITs, It is mandatory to qualify in the Joint Entrance Examinations (J.E.E). The duration for this course is 4 years.
Some of the exams are:
UPSEE,
SRMEEE,
CET,
COMEDK,
KCET,
EAMCET,
MPPEPT,
KEAM,
GPET,
BITSAT, etc.
Also, some engineering institutes conduct their own entrance examination for admission. Below is the link for institutes offering engineering, you can refine the list as per your branch and city preference.

Great selection of career field! Aeronautical engineering definitely has great career prospects as our nation is currently focusing on modernization of the aviation industry which involves construction of new airports and modernization of existing ones, airport connectivity infrastructure development etc. This upgradation indicates the growing potential of this domain. With a huge no. of new aircrafts being added and services being made available through a wider network, the employment opportunities also rise and so does the need for aviation/aerospace professionals. The salary depends on various factors, like company that hires you,your score card and from where you have passed your degree. If you want to pursue aeronautical engineering then do it from a good college that offers good placement. I would suggest you go for colleges like UPES Dehradoon, I would like to suggest you UPES Dehradun for this program, its very reputed university for core sector courses with good infrastructure, curriculum, faculty and placement. Do check it once before finalizing any college. Good luck!
