Assam has some known institutes providing Aeronautical Engineering, which are mainly interested in aviation, aerospace, and their related areas. One of the finest options is Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati, providing different engineering courses and being one of the most popular technical education institutions. Although AEC lacks a separate Aeronautical Engineering department, it offers Mechanical Engineering with aerospace-related electives. Another choice is the Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Management and Technology (GIMT), Guwahati, with specialized engineering courses, including subjects pertaining to aviation technology.
For students looking for direct Aeronautical Engineering courses, private colleges like Nehru College of Aeronautics and Applied Sciences (Assam branch) and IIT Guwahati (with aerospace-related research) are also good options to explore. Diploma and certification courses in aircraft maintenance are also offered by aviation academies like the Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics, Guwahati. Students who dream of pursuing core Aeronautical Engineering can also look at neighboring states like West Bengal or Karnataka for more specialized institutes.
