Also, as a part of their curriculum, students have to undertake a bachelor project (aka Undergraduate Thesis) in their final year. The common destinations are NTPC, HAL, BHEL, Railway Corp etc.

The Aeronautical Graduates usually take the pathway to Higher education via GATE to secure admission in IITs/IISc, mostly due to lack of opportunities in core aerospace in the region.

Each hostel is provided with a water-purifier, water-cooler and kit for indoor games and outdoor games (Basket ball court, tennis court and football ground).
