Yes — most Polytechnic in Aeronautical Engineering Colleges in India prefer students who have studied Maths and Science in Class 10th, because these subjects form the foundation of aeronautical concepts. Aerodynamics, aircraft structure, propulsion, and basic engineering calculations all depend on mathematical and scientific understanding.
However, the requirement is not extremely strict in every college. Some institutes allow students who have passed 10th without strong Maths or Science marks, as long as they meet the minimum eligibility criteria. Since the diploma begins with basic subjects in the first year, even students who feel weak in these areas get time to learn and improve. Teachers also provide support through practical sessions and simple explanations.
Having Maths and Science in 10th only helps you understand topics faster, but it is not a barrier for most students who are passionate about aviation. If you have an interest and are willing to learn, you can still succeed in this diploma and build a strong career in the aeronautical field.
