Hello Renish Sonani,
Aeronautical engineers have less number of opportunities at present in the Indian industry. There are two major employers in DRDO and ISRO both being government agencies. Of course, armed forces also employ some Aeronautical engineers in their maintenance branch but other than this as the Aerospace industry has not grown much the requirement of Aeronautical engineers is also less. On the other hand the civilian air traffic market in India is expanding. The number of passengers is growing at the rate of 15% per annum and so also is the cargo traffic. In view of this, requirement of aircraft maintenance engineers is bound to increase as almost all Airlines are increasing their aircraft strength. Based on the foregoing I would definitely recommend aircraft maintenance engineering as the branch or as the profession to be selected.
