At Palakkad, the main avenue for entry to Aerospace Engineering courses is through entrance tests at national and state levels. Candidates must obtain a genuine score in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main or the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) test. There are institutions like Jawaharlal College of Engineering and Technology (JCET) at Palakkad where B.Tech courses in Aerospace Engineering are conducted.
Following the acquisition of the necessary entrance exam scores, candidates can apply to the colleges directly. Selection is usually conducted through counseling where candidates are seated according to rank and choice. It should be mentioned that in some institutions, academic performance from prior studies can also be used for selection. Thus, remaining informed about each institution's own admission rules and regulations is of importance.
