Answer: Both the terms, aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering are used in same context. But literally aerospace is a broader term which is divided into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautic engineering.

There are several institutes/colleges in India which provide aeronautical engineering courses at the graduate, post graduate and PhD level.
