Dear Sanjay, Both SASTRA and LPU are good universities for higher education in the education sector. Being alumni of LPU, let me share the details of aerospace engineering at Lovely Professional University. Aerospace is a niche area, the skills required in the industry are beyond the course curriculum of most of the universities. LPU has recognised this and developed the curriculum in consultation with the industry. It has even set up a center for space research with a mission control facility. LPU has set an ambitious goal of developing a satellite LPUSAT-1, which will be launched next year (2021) The Center will enable students and researchers to communicate with the International Space Station (ISS), download lives satellite images, and receive telemetry, Science/engineering data from nano-satellites and larger spacecraft The Center will act as a key facility in the field of space research for LPU as well as a virtual lab for Universities, Colleges and Schools in India and the neighboring countries of India A team of students, Visionauts, from Lovely Professional University have won the prestigious STEM Engagement Award in the 2019 NASA's Human Exploration Rover Challenge was held at the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This marks the third consecutive occasion of a team from LPU getting selected to participate in the prestigious competition. Interestingly, the team also got an opportunity to interact with Sunita Williams, a NASA astronaut, and two-time spaceflight veteran, who attended the second day of the event. I hope this helps Good Luck!

Being an alumni I had couple of friends pursuing Aeronautical engineering. I would like to capture your attention on that. The following are the programme details : Designed for learners intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. In addition, these engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, air-frames, wings. Eligibility Details :Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics Mathematics and English or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST&For a candidate, who has not studied English as a subject, the condition of English may be waived off provided the candidate in his qualifying exam has studied in English medium. (5% relaxation to North East states and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents/ Wards of Kashmir Migrants). The programme comes with engineering minors: 1. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE 2. SPACE ENGINEERING and pathway electives: 3. ADVANCED AEROSPACE TESTING AND DOCUMENTATION for industry immersion In case marks scored in 10+2 are 90% or above, then LPU NEST or JEE Main will be exempted and candidate may apply for admission. The fee per semester is 120,000 and they also offer good scholarship to students on different criteria. For more details, check their website or contact them.

I am not quite aware of SASTRA for tier aerospace engineering programme as Aerospace is a specialised branch of engineering which deals with the design and development of aircraft's as well as space crafts The course curriculum covers aspects of two branches of engineering - aeronautical and astronautical engineering. The course also focuses on new technologies in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration. SCOPE OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING : When the world is designing more cost-effective satellites and space shuttles, itll need expert brains to design such machines. As the world is moving towards commercialization of space shuttles and rockets, the demand for aerospace engineers is set to increase. With a number of private players entering into aerospace technology, the opportunities are getting better. Duties of Aerospace Engineers Aerospace engineers typically do the following: Direct and coordinate the design, manufacture, and testing of aircraft and aerospace products Assess proposals for projects to determine if they are technically and financially feasible Determine if proposed projects will result in safe operations that meet the defined goals Evaluate designs to SEE that the products meet engineering principles, customer requirements, and environmental regulations Develop acceptance criteria for design methods, quality standards, sustainment after delivery, and completion dates Ensure that projects meet quality standards Inspect malfunctioning or damaged products to identify sources of problems and possible solutions One of my best friends is doing Aerospace Engineering at LPU. The Department has highly experienced and qualified staff. The students with the guidance of the department are very active in the field of automobile research and activities. For more details, check the LPU website. Hope it may help you!

Hi, Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering focuses on designing both aircraft and spacecraft and it is a study of all the space crafts used within and out of the earth's atmosphere while Aeronautical Engineering is the study of aircraft that operates within the earth's atmosphere. If you pursue a course in aerospace engineering it will enhance your knowledge about both aeronautics and astronautics, you will not only learn about aircraft but also about spacecraft. The one who possesses the dexterity to survive will be paid well. In India, the major set of the employer is from Public Sector namely, HAL, ISRO, ADA, ADE, DRDO, and NAL. There are private companies like Tata Advanced Systems, Taneja Aerospace, Mahindra Aerospace, L&T, Design offices of multinationals like General Electric, Boeing, Airbus, etc. Have emerged out providing significant growth and opportunities to the engineers. Lovely Professional University is catering to this programme with a wide-open vision and efforts. B.Tech Aerospace at LPU is designed for learners who intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, these engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, airframes, wings. To facilitate the students, LPU Sets up the Center for Space Research with Mission Control facility as well. Thanks.

Not pretty sure about the content floated by SASTRA but on the basis of feedback of Alumni of LPU who told that the course is designed for learners who intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. In addition, the engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, air-frames, wings etc. The programme offers : #Credit Transfer: Student after successful completion of 2 years. At LPU may be given option to join partner/ receiving university abroad for the completion of programme subject to conditions and norms of regulatory bodies. #International Exposure Option: Student may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to USA/ European countries or any other country as decided by the University subject to conditions. #Semester Exchange: Student may be given an option to join partner/ receiving university abroad for a semester as decided by the University subject to conditions. #A set of four elective courses in an engineering stream to develop a competency beyond the major area: a. Aircraft Maintenance b. Space Engineering In order to take admission, the eligibility is: Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics and English) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST* (remotely proctored online LPU NEST from home will be conducted). * LPU NEST will be exempted in case student has scored more than or equal to 90 percentile in JEE Mains or 90% aggregate marks in 10+2. LPU promotes following scholarship: 1. On the basis of marks in previous class 2. LPU conducts Lovely professional university national entrance and scholarship test LPU NEST on the basis of which student can enhance their scholarship 3. Some national level tests like JEE Mains, NATA NEET UCEED CAT XAT MAT CMAT NMAT GPAT GATE etc. 4. Performance on the basis of sports, cultural or co-curricular activities. 5. Board Toppers 6. For Orphan students or person with certain disabilities 7. Defence personnel and central armed police forces (CAPF) dependents 8. LPU has also floated COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship for the survivors of COVID and for their dependents as well. # From the above mentioned scholarships, candidate will get one that too which will be maximum one. I will advice you to book the seat at the earliest or maximum by 15-7-2020 to fetch the benefit of good scholarship.
