Some of the Pune colleges have arrangements with aerospace organizations to advance research, innovation, and student interactions. MIT ADT University, DY Patil University, and COEP Tech collaborate with firms such as DRDO, ISRO, and private aerospace organizations. Such engagements provide students with internships, live projects, and research tasks in the domain of aerodynamics, propulsion, and avionics.
In addition, Pune's robust industrial ecosystem promotes aerospace engineering by providing research laboratories, government support, and private industry connections. Private companies such as Tata Aerospace, Mahindra Defence, and Bharat Forge collaborate with academia, giving students practical training and job placements. Such collaborations expose students to practical experience, which makes them ready for the industry upon graduation.
