Madras Institute of Technology is under Anna University. These two aren’t separate. If you want good job profiles with cushy salary packages, after completing your degree, MIT isn’t a good option. Not many core companies visit the campus drive for recruitment. Although placements in the non-core sector are good. MIT offers good academics and you can benefit from the institute if you are aiming to pursue higher studies. The course fee is nominal. The course costs around INR 1.58 lakhs.
SRM is a good option if infrastructure is your priority. Although the university fees are a little higher.
There is a course called CS207 Discrete Structures taught by Professor Ajit Diwan. It was related to Discrete Mathematics - Number Theory, Graph Theory, Combinatorics, Sets, and Groups, and was one of the most difficult courses my friend came across.
Professor Diwan is well known for his highly challenging problems and course material. During his lectures, he delivers a lot of information based on principles. For math lovers, his classes are an absolute delight.
He refrains from conducting more than one exam a month. However, the level of difficulty of the exam is high. The questions look very complicated but when one ponders upon them, they don’t seem that difficult.
The exams were extremely difficult to the extent that the passing cutoff was 7 out of 100 marks. Despite the entire batch consisting of JEE toppers, a lot of them were not able to make it to the cutoff.
About 80% of students from Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay get placement easily. The batch size was 79 students. The highest salary package offered was 5 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 2 LPA. Around 60% of students got an internship.
The major firms that visited IIT Bombay for Aerospace Engineering placements were
Aerospace Engineering Department at IIT Madras is considered one of the top departments in India and has a reputation for producing world-class aerospace engineers. Here are some key features of the department:
Aerospace Engineering Department at IIT Madras offers an excellent education and research experience in the field of aerospace engineering and prepares students for successful careers in academia, industry, and government research organizations.

As far as marks are considered I think scoring above 50% of the maximum marks will guarantee a rank close to 2000 which is sufficient for getting Aerospace at IITK, IIT-KGP, IITM but maybe not IIT-B. However, don't limit your efforts to attain the required rank only. Work hard and give your best and try to rank as high as you can.
Also, I would suggest you to go for IIT Kanpur if you are interested in Aerospace as it has better facilities in this branch. But it is a well-known fact that the job prospects in Aerospace are very limited in India.
If you get a rank of more than 10000, go for IIST, Trivandrum.
Honestly speaking, if you are passionate about Aerospace, I suggest you opt for IIT Kanpur rather than IIT Bombay. The following points support my inclination toward IIT Kanpur for Aerospace.
However, if you are not into Aerospace and are just interested in placements, you should put extra effort into coding, Data Structures or ML, and Python and can consider IIT Bombay as a good choice.
Aerospace Engineering can be further divided into four parts
Apart from this there is a lot of Math involved in the curriculum.
The aerospace engineering branches of all the institutes you mentioned give an edge to each other and are equally good. The choice should be based on personal preference, accessibility, campus life, academics, extracurricular activities and placements.
IIT Kharagpur: Pros
IIT Kharagpur: Cons
Judging a branch solely on the basis of placements is misleading. Yet, most students end up with decent jobs. The best part is that the course curriculum of aerospace engineering is intriguing and keeps you hooked.
Today, aerospace engineering is growing at a steady rate among the other engineering fields in India. However, outside India, it has already been established in the past years and has many more opportunities than in India.
Both the government and private sector come into play when we talk about the aerospace industry. Government Organizations: Some of the biggest government organizations that are involved in the aerospace industry today are
To secure a job in these huge organizations, one needs to pass an interesting exam and sit for an interview. These organizations have decent salary packages. In the private sector, some of the biggest organizations are
Academia: Another job prospect of an aerospace engineer within India is to enter academia. This basically means you have to conduct research at sum Institute and reputed research centers and pursue a Ph.D. at an IIT. Very few people go for this option.
Abroad: For job prospects outside India one needs to pursue an MS or Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. They don’t consider BTech pass-outs for their jobs unless they get a permanent residence permit and also higher education in the form of a master's and Ph.D. However, you can go for research in this field as it is not restricted on the basis of nationality. You can work in NASA or ESA provided that you are simply good at what you do.
These were some of the job prospects in the aerospace field. For more information, you can contact people from this background and enquire about career prospects in aerospace engineering.
Aerospace Engineering is among the newly established branches at SASTRA University. It has good infrastructural facilities with well-equipped labs. Aerodynamics (low and high speed) lab, Gas dynamics lab, Structures, and Propulsion lab are some of the laboratory facilities available.
The faculty base of the Aerospace department is quite good. The faculty members have M.Tech and PhDs from reputed institutes of India. The department is growing fast in teaching as well as research and consultancy.
Students from this department got placed in organizations like Rolls Royce, Lockheed Martin, ISRO, DRDO. Many students are also pursuing higher studies in IITs and abroad.
The Aerospace department of SASTRA has also engaged in collaborative research with CSIR, DRDO, ISRO, etc. So, if you are interested in joining SASTRA University for a degree in Aerospace Engineering, you should go for it.
The choice of Institute or even the choice of the branch depends on where your inclinations lie. Still, if I would have been in your place, I would have opted for either IIT Roorkee Electrical or Electronics. Here are a few points that justify my inclination towards IIT Roorkee in general and these branches specifically
All in all, the Institute and the branches are much coveted and should be preferred over the other options you have.
