The starting salary for graduates with a Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering generally falls between INR 3 to 5 lakhs annually. Factors influencing this range include the type of role (e.g., technician, quality control), the employer (public or private sector), and the job location. While metro areas and reputed companies may offer higher starting packages, smaller cities might have more modest pay. As graduates gain experience and skills, salaries can increase significantly, especially with certifications and additional training.
