Career Options and Job Prospects
Although there are a lot of opportunities for Aeronautical engineering graduates, the opportunities in the core profile are better outside India. However, there are a few government organisations that offer high paying jobs in this field. Following are some of the organisations that offer jobs in this field:
- Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA)
- National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL)
- Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE)
- India Space Research Organization (ISRO)
- Civil Aviation Department
- India Space Research
- Samtel Avionics
Since there are better space centres outside India, the scope of this field is much better once you have pursued Masters from universities abroad. An aeronautical engineer can expect a salary between Rs. 6 to 11 lakh, depending on the college of graduation. An aeronautical earns up to $ 107,700 per year in US.
