How you get in

Class 12 in any stream. Admission is by Class 12 marks, CUET-UG, or a university's own test. Many aviation-management programmes are run by private universities and institutes, some with airline or airport training partners; the degree is awarded by the affiliating university.

At a glance

  • Many airline and airport jobs (ground staff, cabin crew) recruit Class 12 pass or any graduate, so this degree is not required for entry, though the subject knowledge and internships help.
  • Cabin-crew and some ground posts have age, height and medical standards.
  • Shift work, including nights and holidays, is normal at airports.
  • Common next steps: an MBA, or a move into cargo, logistics or airline commercial roles.
