The Diploma in Aerospace Engineering course duration is 3 years. The program is split into 6 semesters with each semester lasting 6 months.
If you join this course after completing 10th grade then total period is three years. During these 3 years you will study both theory and practical work. You will learn about aircraft and spacecraft design, manufacturing maintenance and testing. The syllabus includes aerospace basics such as aerodynamics, aircraft structure, avionics materials aircraft systems maintenance labs and related practicals.
After you complete this 3-year diploma you become eligible for higher studies. For example you can join B.Tech or other aerospace/engineering courses through lateral entry.
Will this duration be enough to get good knowledge
Yes this 3-year duration is enough. Because in these years you get both theoretical classes and practical labs. You learn fundamentals of aircraft and spacecraft design manufacturing maintenance and testing. This gives a strong base.
Is it too long before I can start working
Maybe some might think three years is long after 10th. But this duration ensures you build enough skills and knowledge. After finishing you can directly start working in aerospace aviation or related maintenance and manufacturing companies.
Can I do further study later
Yes you can. After the diploma you can pursue B.Tech or higher courses. That way you continue education while gaining earlier technical background.
If you have completed 10th and want to start a career in aerospace early and get strong basic training then 3-year diploma is ideal. It suits those who like hands on work machines aircraft or spacecraft and want practical skills along with theory.
