Patna offers limited options for aeronautical engineering, but Indian Institute of Aeronautics (IIA), Patna, is a notable institute. IIA provides DGCA-approved Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) and aeronautical engineering programs, focusing on practical training with aircraft. The institute collaborates with airlines and MROs (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) to give students industry exposure.
While full-fledged B.Tech/B.E. Aeronautical Engineering programs are not widely available in Patna, students interested in the field can consider AME courses as an alternative. AME focuses on aircraft maintenance, repair, and safety, which is a critical part of the aviation sector. Alternatively, students can explore nearby states like West Bengal or Delhi, where more dedicated aeronautical engineering programs are offered in reputed universities. Checking AICTE and DGCA-approved colleges will help in choosing the best option.
