Admissions:

The college offers a B.Tech in aerospace engineering which is a four-year undergraduate course. The curriculum of this course gives all the requirements for getting a good placement in the aeronautical field. Students are given specialized training in design and development.

• The minimum eligibility criteria for BTech in aerospace engineering is 10+2 with physics, chemistry, mathematics, or biology as main subjects from a recognized board with an aggregate of at least 60% marks.

• The admissions are granted through Jain Entrance Test( JET ) or Uni-GAUGE followed by counseling.

• JET is divided into two sections, Section 1 includes questions from physics, chemistry, and mathematics/biology while Section 2 includes skill in English.

• The total fees for the course are 5.5 lakhs.

Placements:

The placements for BTech Aerospace at the institute are quite good and the placement statistics for last year are as follows.

Around 80-90% of students are placed. Various companies visit the campus for recruiting students such as Accenture, Axis Bank Ltd, Azuga telematics, Bajaj capital, Ibibo web Pvt Ltd, IBM, etc.

The labs are well-equipped and various lab classes are held for students during college hours. Students of various communities and places take admission in this college.

The aerospace engineering department at IIEST Shibpur offers students with aerospace engineering as well as applied mechanics. Students always get confused as they often ask if the academic choices get bound to aerospace engineering only. But you could have used copper for studying structural and fluid that are two main aspects of applied mechanics as well. Labs and facilities are still not fully constructed, but once they are constructed, they are going to enhance the department's performance a lot. This department has developed several talented students since its beginning. Maximum students get good marks in their GATE examination every year. Two of the pass out students have gone to the University of Suny buffalo and Illinois University as well. Students are also sent for internships at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and other IITs only if they show their interest.

• Student-teacher ratio: It is also very impressive with 36 seats in total and 20 teachers.

• University tie-ups: The department has tied-up with IIT Kharagpur where the students are taken for labs and other practicals.

• Qualified Facilities: The university is among the very few where you will find technically qualified teachers with good experience in the field. Professors always help out to gain practical knowledge even though Laboratories are not fully developed.

• Hightech latest Labs: It has a fluid dynamics lab as one of the basic subjects that are required for studying aerospace engineering.

Placements:

The placement records have improved this year, and many placement drives are yet to be organized. No core company visited the campus to hire the students studying in the Aerospace department because most of the core Aerospace companies ask for an M.Tech degree in aerospace engineering as the minimum qualification.

The department is a very young department that has still to grow to obtain its full strength. But the scope and opportunities associated with it are huge, and you may get a very good and experienced faculty to guide you.

Acharya Institute of Technology's Aeronautical Engineering program has an 80% internship ratio according to the 2020 data. More than 70% students have been placed with HAL and NAL. The lowest salary offered in 2019 was around INR 2 LPA.

The table below highlights some of the features of the Aeronautical Engineering program:

Factors which are useful in making a choice are as follows:
