What does it take to understand flight beyond what meets the eye?

The BTech in Aerospace Engineering at IISc is grounded in strong fundamentals of physics, engineering, propulsion, aerodynamics, and problem-solving - helping students build a deeper understanding of systems that shape aviation and beyond.

Designed for curious minds interested in exploring how things move, perform, and evolve through science and engineering.
