Daughter wants to study Aeronautical Engineering in US

Hi friends

I am from Delhi. My daughter is in XI Standard. Has taken science stream. She wants to pursue aeronautical engineering. Both me and my husband are from commerce background. So we do not have much knowledge in this field.

After 12 my daughter wants to do her engineering from US University. For this she has enquired that she has to clear SAT exam. She will be appearing for it in April. While browsing this site i found most of u have settled in US. Can anyone guide me as to what else my daughter has to do other than giving SAT exam to seek admission in a US University.

I looked for a forum for education... but could not find it.... so posting here.

Hope someone finds time to reply.

Bye

Hi Priyum,

If your daughter is in XI, I take it that she is around 15 or 16 yrs of age. At that age I dont think it is a wise idea to come to the US for education. Bachelors degree is very hard here, cause it is 4yrs of education unlike india and it is a major financial burden for the parents.
People who come from India to US for higher education mostly come after their bachelors for their masters, which is not that hard and can be completed in couple of yrs, when compared to bachelors. More importantly kids are more mature enough to come to another country and live on their own. So it is a good option for ur daughter to finish her engineering in India in a good college and then come to US. Moreover Indian IITS are much better than most colleges here.
This is just my opinion. let me know if you need further help. I can find out from my friends here what are the necessary things needed.

Hi,

This is Umapraveen. iam working for russian consulate. If US graduation seems to be costly, u can go ahead for Aeronotical engineering with pilot license in Russian universities. (petersberg/ moscow/ryazan) It would be 5 years course including the preparatory course. which has been legally recognised all over the world. Learning aeronotics with pilot course will be offered only in russian aeronotical institutes.

regards,

Umapraveen.
