Aeronautical Engineering Syllabus



The Aeronautical Engineering syllabus in India is designed in such a way that it educates the students about the manufacturing, designing, construction, operation, and testing of aircraft. It is a 4 year undergraduate programme whose examinations will be conducted semester wise, i.e., once in every 6 months. The student has to pass all Aeronautical Engineering subjects to get the degree.

The Aeronautical Engineering syllabus may vary a little bit depending upon the campus. It is one of the unique career options after 12th with PCM that covers all the subjects necessary to learn for the production of the aircraft. To be eligible to pursue Aeronautical Engineering, a student must be appearing or have passed 12th with a PCM or 3 year engineering diploma.
