The length of an Aeronautical Engineering program in Assam varies based on the program selected by a student. If undertaking a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) or Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Aeronautical Engineering, the course is for four years with eight semesters. These degrees incorporate core courses such as aerodynamics, aircraft structure, propulsion, and avionics, supplemented by practice training and internship. Or they can take a Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering, typically three years in length, broken up into six semesters. The diploma is focused on introducing general knowledge and hands-on skills on aircraft design and maintenance and therefore a shorter career path to employment in the airline industry.
For individuals looking for advanced learning, Assam also provides Master's degrees (M.Tech/M.E.) in Aeronautical Engineering, which last for two years. These courses emphasize higher-level research and specialization fields such as aerospace propulsion, computational fluid dynamics, and manufacturing of aircraft. Admissions to these programs are normally made on the basis of entrance exams such as JEE Main, Assam CEE, or institute-specific exams.
