In order to opt for Aerospace Engineering, the candidates usually must have completed their secondary education with a concentration in subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. A minimum percentage (typically 60-75%) in these subjects is considered necessary in most universities. The candidates should also pass an entrance exam, which may be of university level or national-level tests like JEE (India), SAT (USA), or equivalent tests in other nations.
Undergraduate studies in Aerospace Engineering typically demand that the applicants possess a good grasp of courses such as calculus, mechanics, and material science, as these are core to the field. Application may also be subject to interview sessions or individual tests for certain establishments. For master's degrees, applicants should possess a related undergraduate qualification and might require passing GRE or equivalent tests. A few institutions also look for work experience or research participation in the aerospace industry for further studies.
