QUESTION: sir
 i am very much interested in space research sir.i scored 96% marks in physics,chem & maths in +2 EXAM. sir is it right to chose BE aeronautical eng or doing ECE , then ME AEROSPACE ...........
 PLS REPLY SIR I AM VERY MUCH CONFUSED

ANSWER: I take it the schools you are looking at do not have a "space" component...  and hence your choice is aeronautical or ECE (is this electrical and computer engineering?)...  Depending on how much you have your heart set on "space", a degree in ECE will probably afford you more opportunities (many outside of AE) and then you could specialize in ASE for an advanced degree...

If on the other hand you really have a passion for anything air related, AE would be the way to go (less flexibility, yet you'd be happy no matter where you were involved in the aircraft (or spacecraft) industry

QUESTION: sir
     many of them suggesting that after doing BE(electronics and communication engineering) and then doing    ME Aerospace engineering  would be different stream all together

Answer
Yes it would be different and you would have to probably take some ASE UGRAD courses to be able to perform in the ASE GRAD courses... probably just a few...  but as I said, that route would open other doors (outside of ASE)...  I didn't mean to imply the two routes would be equivalent...
