Aeronautical Engineering colleges are scarce in Calicut and students should consider enrolling at the Indian Institute for Aeronautical Engineering and Information Technology (IIAEIT) in addition to other similar programs. Several engineering colleges with campuses in Kerala provide Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering as special degrees in addition to their standard programs. Most students interested in superior aeronautical engineering education seek accredited institutions throughout Kerala and in neighboring states. Bachelor of engineering programs can be pursued at private and polytechnic institutes that deliver education about aeronautical studies.
Degreed institutions with affiliations to AICTE and DGCA should be preferred by students pursuing Aeronautical Engineering. The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut does not specifically teach Aeronautical Engineering but gives students the chance to study Mechanical Engineering while offering classes dedicated to aviation subjects. Calicut students prefer aerospace engineering programs in various Indian cities outside their region to study at IISc along with IITs and Hindustan University due to their premier programs in this field.
