The Master of Aerospace Engineering in India requires a thesis, internship, or both to qualify as a graduate. These factors, plus up-to-date curriculum/coursework, prepare students for a career in aerospace engineering post-graduation. 

This course is offered as a Master of Technology (M Tech) or Master of Science (MS) program in India. The main difference between M Tech in Aerospace Engineering and MS in Aerospace Engineering is-

• M-Tech is mainly a coursework-oriented master's program covering all Aerospace Engineering aspects.
•  MS is a full-fledged research-oriented master's program

Some options available for research while pursuing an MS degree in India in this field are: 

• Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
• Propulsion
• Aerospace Structures

MS/ M Tech in Aerospace Engineering in India Eligibility

• Bachelor in Aerospace/Civil/Chemical/Computer Science/ Electrical/ Mechanical/ Metallurgical/ Naval Architecture or a master's degree in Physics/ Mathematics/ Chemistry and aptitude for research. 
• GATE/GRE Scores are required for admission to top Aerospace engineering institutions such as IIT Madras etc. 

GATE for Aerospace Engineering

GATE will pop up very often if you intend to study Master of Engineering in top engineering institutions in India. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). It is conducted by IIT Kharagpur and 6 other Indian Institutes of Technology in Mumbai, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Chennai, Roorkee & the Indian Institute of Science at Bengaluru.
