For admission into the Aeronautical Engineering program at PSNA College of Engineering and Technology (PSAEC), candidates must have passed the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or 10+2 with a focus in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Candidates must have obtained a minimum aggregate percentage in the PCM subjects, often between 50 to 60 percent, but this varies according to the category (General, OBC, SC/ST). Furthermore, admissions are often made on the basis of the scores earned in the TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) entrance exam, which caters to engineering students in Tamil Nadu, and some other state-level examinations, or through national exams such as JEE Main where applicable. Candidates holding a diploma in relevant areas like Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering can also apply to get entry into the second year of the course under the Direct Second Year Admission scheme.
Along with the prerequisite academic qualifications, certain age, and physical fitness requirements have to be fulfilled as set by the institution. Generally, the age cap for undergraduate engineering admission is between 17 and 25 years. Given that Aeronautical Engineering is highly technical and practical in nature, students should have proficient analytical reasoning, problem solving, and mathematical skills for further success in the discipline. Most course materials and communication in the aviation sector is done in English, therefore, proficiency in English is highly regarded. All prospective candidates are recommended to frequently visit the official website of PSAEC or its admission brochure for eligibility updates and new developments regarding entrance examinations, application submission deadlines, and available seats.
