Hi Nidhi,
Herpetology (from Greek 'herpien' meaning 'to creep') is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and gymnophiona) and reptiles (including snakes, lizards,amphisbaenids, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, crocodilians, and the tuataras). Batrachology is a further subdiscipline of herpetology concerned with the study of amphibians alone.
Herpetology offers benefits to humanity in the study of the role of amphibians and reptiles in global ecology, especially because amphibians are often very sensitive to environmental changes, offering a visible warning to humans that significant changes are taking place. Some toxins and venoms produced by reptiles and amphibians are useful in human medicine. Currently, some snake venom has been used to create anti-coagulants that work to treat stroke victims and heart attack cases.
The road to a career in herpetology is not an easy one but it is an interesting one. The steps of getting a degree for people who like herpetology involves majoring in college in biology, ecology, or some larger field and then specializing in reptiles and/or amphibians. College requirements in the field of herpetology are a strong background in ecology and zoology with the usual additional courses in genetics, mathematics, wildlife ecology, and other special areas that are of interest. Most herpetologists get degrees in zoology or biology but specialize in reptiles and amphibians in some way. Whatever field you go into, making good grades in high school and college are always a good idea.
Careers in Herpetology:
1. Faculty position at a college or university.
2. Staff position with government wildlife agencies.
3. Curator or staff position at a Natural History Museum.
Herpetologists interested in augmenting their income often develop a number of skills to a professional level that permits them to charge a fee for services or products such as photography, presenting public lectures, writing books and articles (for royalties or direct fees), consulting (on endangered and threatened species and their habitats), and conducting wildlife tours.
Careers in Herpetoculture - the art of maintaining amphibians, turtles, reptiles and crocodilians in captivity in order to breed them for pleasure, exhibition, trading or sale, and is a subset of the time-honored field of husbandry.

Hi Ashley,
Aviation refers to all activities involving the operation of aircrafts. Aviation courses in India deal with Flying Operation (Pilots), Aircrew (Air Hostesses), Aircraft, Air Traffic Management, Technical aspects of Flight, Aviation Safety, Regulatory Policies and economics of airport. Civil Aviation courses (as opposed to the Indian Air Force, that is, the air wing of the Indian armed forces) are necessary for those wishing to work in government or regulatory bodies of aviation or those planning to work as aviation consultants.
All aviation courses in India are supposed to comply with the rules laid down by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). I am sending you link of institutes offering various courses in Aviation.
