One of my friends studied aerospace engineering at Amity University, so let me share his experiences about the college and also the true facts about Amity University.
Amity University offers two programs in Aerospace - BTech in Aerospace Engineering and a Dual degree program ( Integrated BTech + MTech).

The campus placement is not good in the aerospace department. Either you will be selected in Defence or any IT company. There are no internship opportunities available. You will hardly get a package ranging from INR 4-5 LPA. The course fee is also high in respect to the placement given. The course curriculum is mainly theoretical and very less practical.
You should try for another better college for doing Aerospace rather than in Amity.
If you're considering attending an IIT for your academic pursuits, you may want to take a closer look at IITB. Not only do we offer top-tier facilities, but we also have a number of unique projects and programs that set us apart from other IITs.
One such program is Mood Indigo, which is Asia's largest cult fest and the world's second-largest. In addition to Mood Indigo, we also have the Pratham student satellite program and other exciting projects like AUV and Mini Aerial Vehicle. Plus, we have our own Aeromodelling club, which offers unique opportunities for students to get hands-on experience with aircraft design and engineering.
When it comes to job placement, IITB has a strong track record of success. Our graduates are highly sought after by top companies across various industries, which can help set you up for long-term career success.
Of course, choosing an IIT is a personal decision that should be based on a range of factors, including academic programs, location, and student life. While we believe that IITB is the best IIT in India, it's crucial for you to do your own research and determine which program is the best fit for your academic and personal goals.
Ultimately, you can succeed in any IIT program with hard work and dedication. We encourage you to carefully consider your options and choose the program that best aligns with your unique needs and aspirations.
One of my friends studies at Hindustan University. So, I know a little bit about the institute.
Hindustan University is recognized as a great platform for Aerospace Engineering. But the institute owes its reputation to the students who go out of their way to excel in academics without much help from the institute.
According to my friend’s experience, the institute does not offer support of any kind, be it lab equipment, leniency in attendance, or time.
Overall, at Hindustan University you won’t have many facilities, placement offers, or any kind of support. So, it would be better to opt for other options.
IIT Madras is one of the premier engineering institutes in India, and its Aerospace Engineering department is highly reputed. The Aerospace Engineering program at IIT Madras is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of aerospace engineering, including aircraft design, propulsion, flight mechanics, and control.
Aerospace Engineering at IIT Madras has well-equipped labs and facilities, including wind tunnels, flight simulators, and advanced computational facilities, which enable students to gain hands-on experience in the field. The department also has a strong faculty with a diverse range of expertise, including aerospace structures, aerodynamics, propulsion, and control systems.
As for life at IIT Madras, it is known for its vibrant campus culture, with a range of extracurricular activities, sports facilities, and student clubs. The campus is situated in a lush green environment, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere for students. The institute also has a variety of accommodation options, including hostels and apartments, which are well-maintained and provide a comfortable living experience.
Overall, IIT Madras Aerospace is a highly respected program with excellent facilities and faculty, and life at the institute is known for its enriching and enjoyable experiences.
One of my cousins is an alumnus at Hindustan University. Not many of his batchmates are working as Aerospace Engineers. Most of them were placed in IT companies through campus placements. The very few who are actually working in a field related to Aerospace Engineering made it there through their own efforts.
The placement report published by the university is as follows:

In the academic year of 2018-19, for the department of aerospace engineering, 22 students registered for placement out of which 15 got placed.
A large number of software companies hire from this university. If your only concern is placement, then this might not be the best college for you because the university does not ensure 100% placement.
PEC is in general considered as one of the finest colleges in Chandigarh. There are several advantages to being in a city like Chandigarh, including safety, being around civilized people, less pollution, etc.
Though having a good environment, Aerospace Engineering is not very good at PEC Chandigarh. Due to the lack of experienced faculty members, some good lecturers come as guest lecturers, but almost 80% of the studies have to be done by the students themselves. The good thing is that students can fly RC planes. The infrastructure should also improve as Aerospace Engineering requires proper lab facilities.
The table below gives a brief overview of the Aerospace Engineering department of PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh.

Though the course is not up to the mark, your life in Chandigarh will be extremely comfortable and a lot safer than in other cities in the country.
Due to less population in Chandigarh, there are quite fewer vehicles and more trees inside the city. This results in very little pollution and almost no traffic in the streets.
Therefore, firstly, aerospace engineering is not a very good choice which is evident from the placement percentage stated above. Coming to life in Chandigarh, it is excellent with an amazing environment all around.
Yes, indeed. Amrita University offers a degree in Aerospace Engineering, but it has branches spread almost at several places around India. And, the best branch of Amrita University among all is the one at Coimbatore.
In terms of a grand infrastructure and a place that provides such a brilliant standard of quality education to students, Amrita University, Coimbatore is the one you should choose for Aerospace Engineering.
I would recommend you to take some prior experience on the subject of Aerospace Engineering.
Anyone who has the option of choosing IIT Madras must without further thinking grab the opportunity.
My friend was a graduate student of Automotive Engineering (Engineering Design) from IIT Madras but ended up with a career in Data Science and Algorithmic Trading. Thus every engineer irrespective of his branch should be proficient in at least one programming language.
Choose your college wisely as it’s responsible for shaping and steering your career.
Aerospace Engineering from PEC is decent. It is excellent if compared to other private colleges, but it is regretful compared to the IITs. The following are the highlights of the program.
The chances for admission in Aerospace Engineering are bitty. The cut-offs of various branches have been fluctuating over the past few years. So, it’s not possible to predict the exact cut-off which will land you in Aerospace Engineering from PEC. The cut-off is generally around 15-19000. If you belong to any quota then getting admission gets easier.
If you are inclined to Aerospace Engineering, the program from PEC is worth the ride.
Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation.
IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT.
However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job.
ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.
