UPES Online is a private institute, founded in 2007. This page brings together what is on record for this course at UPES Online — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most UGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means aerodynamics, aircraft structures, propulsion and flight mechanics. Typical first jobs: aerospace, design or maintenance engineer.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask UPES Online for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.
