Like most cities in India, Pune also has prestigious institutions offering courses in Aeronautical Engineering. Due to the presence of numerous aerospace and defense companies, the chances of getting placed are pretty good. Companies such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), and Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) along with several other private aerospace companies are constant recruiters. Moreover, there is also an Indian base of multinational aviation maintenance contractors such as Airbus and Boeing, which opens avenues in India for employment in research, design, and manufacturing.
Several institutes also have established Placement Cells which work with major industries for the training and placement of students. New ventures in UAV technology and aerospace parts production systems further broaden the scope. Although core aeronautical jobs are harder to come by compared to other fields, graduates in aerospace engineering can also find work in software, robotics, CAD, and other related fields. Successful placement is proportionate to the candidate’s skills, internships, and academic results.
