Yes, not only this year but for the last 5-6 years, MIT Aeronautical Engineering has been facing a lot of trouble in general.

• The primary reason is that it is one of the university departments of Anna University.
• In India, there are fewer core companies, and they mostly visit the IITs and NITs.
• Most of the students are attending IITs and NITs, which also decreases the number of students getting admission in MIT.
• Exams are used by public sector companies such as DRDO and ISRO to hire employees, and students had to apply after completing their undergraduate degrees.
• The curriculum isn't very good, in comparison to other streams.
• Some businesses require specialization, so they opt for P.G.
• There was no proper guidance from the staff. This is a major issue in the department.

Anna University's core placements are declining at a faster rate, and this is not limited to the Aeronautical department. If your goal is to get a job, then it is suggested that you do not go for Aeronautical Engineering at MIT.

BE in Aeronautical Engineering at Madras Institute of Technology is not a good option if you are genuinely interested in the subject. The points below give sufficient reasons supporting the cause.

• In Aeronautical Engineering at MIT, most of the faculties are not good in core concepts of Aerospace. Most of them have good concepts in Thermodynamics and Structures only.
• Almost no faculty in MIT teaches concepts in system integration or flying in general. There is no class to teach at least design a plane out of paper.
• The management of MIT doesn’t allot proper projects and doesn’t allow anyone to get associated with some good ongoing projects.
• Most of the students who come to MIT for an M.Tech or Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering are just interested in getting the degree. Very few are interested in doing some work in fields related to research.
• Students at MIT are not allowed to go for internships, even if they succeed in getting one at some recognized or even international institutes.
• The curriculum of Aeronautical Engineering is not at all properly designed, being developed without any proper introductory knowledge of mechanics. It forces the students to follow the teachers’ notes, preventing them from indulging in self-study, projects, and group activities.

The best choice for students interested in this subject is to go for mechanical engineering in some other college, maybe a one with a lower cut-off even. After that, he/she can opt for an M.S. or M.E. in Aerospace Engineering, having a strong base in mechanics from UG.

Acharya Institute of Technology is a good institute, with an excellent campus and good facilities. But, the department of Aeronautical Engineering does not live up to the expectation. There are several disadvantages of the Aeronautical Engineering department in the institute, and some of them are listed below.

The table below gives a brief overview of the Aeronautical Engineering department of the institute.

Teaching: 

The professors in Aeronautical Engineering have no proper way of teaching, with some faculties having no proper knowledge about the relevant subjects in Aeronautical Engineering.

Laboratories:

There is no proper lab for the department. Students of Aeronautical Engineering perform all their experiments and work in the labs of two other departments if they are not found occupied.

Library:

There is no departmental library. Students need to gather their own study materials for themselves.

If you are serious about studying the subject don’t choose Acharya Institute of Technology for Aeronautical Engineering.

The B.E program in Aeronautical Engineering at Acharya Institute of Technology is a good course to undertake. Here is why.

• The faculty and the teaching pedagogy are good.
• The teaching curriculum is also better compared to similar ranked colleges. Scoring marks in the internal exams is quite easy which helps you in the end semester exams and thus your grades.
• You are a fresher and the branch itself is a bit of a niche. So you cannot expect many core companies to come here for placements unless you are from any top-tier institute like the NITs or IITs. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and average CTC offered to the Aeronautical Engineering students are 5 LPA and 4 LPA respectively.

One of my friends did his Aeronautical Engineering degree from Acharya Institute of Technology and vouches for the course. If you are interested in the course then you can surely join it. You will have a good future in the field if you work hard.
