Question
My son wants to do MS / M Tech in Aeronautical (in fields related to aeronautical) engineering. Please answer to following quaries:

1.What should he opt for in graduation ie., B. Tech / B.E level.
2. Is Electronics & communication engineering is OK or Mechanical is OK? Which is preferred more?
3. What are the subjects other than aeronautical engineering if he is interested to work in space related fields.

Thank you

Answer
You need to ask someone in India or maybe England.  I don't know the difference between B. Tech and B.E. or MS and M Tech in your school system.  Generally, mechanical engineering is much closer to aeronautical engineering than is electronics or communications.  Space related subjects include orbital mechanics, propulsion, astronomy, and the many aspects of physics.
