To join a Polytechnic in Aeronautical Engineering College in Panipat, students must have passed Class 10th from a recognised board. This is the basic eligibility requirement for most diploma institutes. Colleges usually look for students who have secured a minimum percentage in their 10th exams, often around 45–50%, although the exact requirement can vary depending on the institute and category.
Students from any stream—Science, Commerce, or Arts—can apply, but having a basic understanding of Mathematics and Science helps, as these subjects form the foundation for aeronautical engineering concepts.
For students who have completed 10+2 (with Science or vocational subjects) or ITI (Industrial Training Institute) in a relevant trade, many colleges offer lateral entry, allowing them to join directly in the second year of the diploma. This option saves time and helps students fast-track their technical education and career.
There is usually no upper age limit, and both boys and girls are welcome. Even students from rural areas or with average marks can pursue the diploma successfully, as the course focuses on practical skills, hands-on training, and technical knowledge in addition to classroom learning.
