Aerospace Engineer
Build the toolkit for flight and space engineering — aerodynamics, propulsion, orbital mechanics, and India's growing government + private space sector.
9 monthsThree genuinely different pay structures under one field — ISRO/DRDO follow fixed PSU/government scales set by official notification, private space startups (Skyroot, Agnikul) pay is influenced by equity and stage of funding, and established aerospace MNCs (Boeing India, Airbus India) pay closer to standard large-corporate scales. Check the current source relevant to the specific track rather than one blended figure.
Why this path
ISRO remains the dominant government path, but private space (Skyroot, Agnikul) is now genuinely hiring, not just experimenting — this is the first India-relevant aerospace roadmap on the platform.

Timeline reality check
GATE AE is the practical gateway for MTech/PSU routes; private space hiring (Skyroot, Agnikul) increasingly runs like general tech hiring — direct applications and referrals, not one standardized exam.
