Hi Gunjan,
Aeronautical engineering is one of the most challenging branches of engineering. It has a wide scope of growth in the field of engineering. This field is concerned mostly with the technical as well as the mechanisms of the flying aircrafts. This is an emerging field. This field deals with the development of new technologies in aviation and defense systems. This field mainly consists of the construction, designing, working, testing, operation, maintenance of the space craft’s, satellites, missiles, space vehicles, etc.,
These are the top Aerospace/Aeronautical colleges in India
1.Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
2.Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
3.Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
4.Indian Institute of Technology Madras
5.PEC University of Technology , Chandigarh
6. Bengal Engineering and Science University , West Bengal
7.Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka ,Manipal
8.Sathyabama University ,Chennai
9.Acharya Institute of Technology ,Bangalore
10.Amrita School of Engineering ,Bangalore
For admission in a bachelor’s degree, you need to complete 10+2 examination with science subject such as physics, maths and chemistry. For IITs, It is mandatory to qualify in the Joint Entrance Examinations (J.E.E). The duration for this course is 4 years.
Some of the exams are:
UPSEE,
SRMEEE,
CET,
COMEDK,
KCET, ,
EAMCET,
MPPEPT,
KEAM,
GPET,
BITSAT.
etc.
Also, some engineering institutes conduct their own entrance examination for admission. Below is the link for institutes offering engineering. You can refine the list as per your branch and city preference.

Hi Gunjan,
I think engineering experience is a necessary, but not sufficient skill for a CEO of a tech company.
A few thoughts as to why :
Simplicity : Because engineers have to grind out the code, they are ruthless about cutting features. They say No alot. Non technical people invariably want to add their favorite pet feature. This crap accrues until the interface is a mess and the code base unmanageable (I'm looking at you, MySpace-2006. ) When coders rule you get the elegant simplicity of, say, Google's simple box on a plain white page.
Reading tea-leaves : Technical people have an intimate sense of what's coming : "cheap disk storage is going to make photo sharing basically free" "Let's build this like it's a public API, even though it's private. I want to be able to open this to the public with the push of a button."
Habitual, personal commitment to quality : As someone who builds stuff themselves, they are used to showing it to friends. It is a source of pride. For many coders, this is actually a greater motivation than money. This leads to decisions like, "Popup ads? Not on my watch. I'd rather bankrupt the company."
Not in it for the money : Alluded to above, they tend not to sell out, dilute themselves out of existence, or panic about money. They focus on "relentlessly awesome execution" (to steal a phrase someone used to describe facebook.) In the end, if your product is head-and-shoulders above others in awesomeness, you're probably going to win. No matter how many deals you passed up.
Zero tolerance : Software is a world of objective reality. A no-spin zone. Vacuous business-speak and other meaningless activity tends to get stepped on.

Hi Parul,
After your B.Arch you can opt for Masters in Architecture or a specialized master degree such as Master in Landscape Architecture/City or Regional Planning and so on.
Before applying to a programme abroad please check the accreditation status of the programme so that your degree has value globally. The largest accrediting board for architectural programmes globally is NAAB ( The National Architectural Accrediting Board, USA ) . Without accreditation the degree will not be recognized. In Canada, Master of Architecture degrees may be accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB). Similarly in UK, the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) accreditation is given topmost priority.
Irrespective of where you study the above accrediting boards are the largest nationally and internationally. It is also suggested that you contact the concerned university for employment related queries.
Hope this helps.

Hi Parul,
Perspective Drawing: One Point, Two Point and Three Point perspective drawing. Learn the technique and keep practicing. Once you develop the technique, I'd personally suggest exploring multiple scenarios in both interior and exterior spaces(as in put yourself there and sketch what you see). Keep sketching regularly, it will gradually improve.
Avoid using rulers as much as possible, stick to free hand sketching once you get a hang of it. Pay attention to natural detail: people, animals, trees, vehicles, furniture etc. according to the scenario, use these elements to add definition to your sketches.

Hi Esha,
Once you qualify NATA with good score, you can proceed for the Admission process. the admission process may vary slightly depending on the college. If you are eligible for admission in government colleges you start applying through online application with your H.S.C. marks.Then you have to wait for them to release their merit list.When the merit list is declared; fill-in your preference and submit it at govt.Later CAP lists are announced wherein you are allotted a college.
If you are applying in colleges in Maharashtra then,you have to fill a one single form of M.A.S.A. to get admission in listed colleges by paying fee via. Demand Draft. Forms of M.A.S.A. normally comes in second-half of June.M.A.S.A. is a centralized admission system that means that by filling one single form; you apply in all architecture colleges of Maharastra.For more information on MASA visit www.maharch.org.

Hi Ruby,
Immediately after completing B. Arch? I would say get a job for a while.
Architecture is not a theoretical field. You need practical knowledge. You need to visit sites and see how work happens, learn how to deal with the people working on site, understand what the client wants even when he cannot express it, and most importantly, learn how to say no to the client when their demands are not feasible. No school of architecture or book can teach you this.
Once you know these things, you will be better able to understand your masters program. Your tuition money will be better spent. Fresh out of B. Arch, you may know all your theories, but masters isn't going to help as much if you don't know the basics that only a job will teach you.
