Candidates need to achieve minimum twenty to thirty-five percentage marks on their aggregate score according to individual university standards. National or state-level engineering entrance exams including JEE Main and JEE Advanced as well as BCECE (Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination) require successful qualification for admission to Aerospace Engineering programs in Patna. Engineering entrance exams conducted by individual educational institutions and other engineering admission tests besides JEE Main and JEE advanced form part of admission criteria at certain colleges.
Candidates need to fulfill age requirements between 17 and 25 years which academic institutions or examination boards specify for admission as their additional requirement. The admission criteria for reserved category students often contain more flexible requirements.
