Yes! Admission to a Polytechnic in Aeronautical Engineering College in Delhi NCR can happen in two different ways—through entrance tests or direct merit-based selection.
Some colleges conduct or accept national or institutional entrance exams, such as AIE CET (All India Engineering Common Entrance Test). This exam helps institutes shortlist students and offer scholarships based on rank. Entrance tests are usually designed to check your knowledge of Math, Science, and logical reasoning, since these subjects are the foundation of aeronautical engineering. Performing well in such exams increases your chances of getting into reputed colleges and securing fee concessions.
On the other hand, many colleges, especially private ones like Puran Murti Campus, also provide direct admission based on 10th-grade marks. In this case, if you have scored the required percentage (usually between 45%–50%), you can get admission without taking an entrance exam. This is especially beneficial for students who prefer a smoother admission process.
So, whether or not you need to take an entry test depends on the college you are applying to. If you want scholarships and entry into highly competitive institutes, preparing for an entrance exam like AIE CET is recommended. But if you simply want to start your aeronautical journey quickly, then merit-based admission after the 10th is also available.
