degree next year which mean June 2008 intake. By this way I felt that I am
going to waste my 2 years after 12th and it will take me more 4 years to
complete the degree in short it will take me 6 years to get my degree if I leave
society
This thought made me to think deeply and I was confident enough that how
much tough might be the AeSI is but I can clear it before 6 years and i have a
chance to complete it in 5 year also
This incidence made all the difference.
Currently I am in 2nd year of M.Tech (aerospace) from IIT Kharagpur and I
give total credit to AeSI, GIE.
If you are at the same position than I just want to say that have time to think
over it & I guaranty you if you follow what your heart says than you will
definitely do it..
For short notes which carry about 5 marks, it is advisable to draw the
diagrams & characteristic curves but reduce the points. Be precise & clear.eg
UJT, OPAMP,INVERTER,DIAC,TRIAC,CHOPPERS etc.
Coming to the numerical problems, BJT biasing problems are very important
.work out several problems on each type until you are confident. Formulae on
FET are a must for working out problems.
Objectives will be easy if you have covered the entire syllabus thoroughly. Go
through all the QP and do your best. Learn all minute details of the devices &
Characteristics curves to attend all the parts of questions.
Easier said than done. But no doubt I assure you that if the tips given are
followed you will become expert in that subject. Work hard and come out in
flying colors.

X: bye
me: All the best for preparation.
I think here is the story of the many AeSIs students .I personally had seen
many students who are lying to friends and parents but let us now analysis the
future of the Mr. X.
1: He is having 56 % .it will be very difficult to pass all the 6 papers and to
make 60%.
now for admission for M.Tech in NIT also minimum criteria is 60%.
you can only get stipend on OJT (ON JOB TRAINING) if you have minimum
60 %
minimum criteria for apply in many companies is 60%
so he can neither go for masters nor for job and it seems that all the doors are
close
2: He had cleared 14 papers in 7 years. this means that he must need to pass
6 papers in 1 year as AeSI is giving 8 years to complete the degree after that
he can request for the extension for 1 semester .If he is not able to pass in
that his registration will get cancelled.
3: Finally, How his parents will feel when they come to know that their son had
lied to them.
Solution:
Solution is never to lie with parents .They are the persons who are supporting
us. If my friend had done this before then he would not have to face this
critical condition.
12
13
My many of friends had written single paper for almost 4 to 8 times and they
are now doing well and pursuing their masters from NITs/IITs.
You too can do it but dont escape from papers and face them.

and you might be advised so.This is what mistake i did in last GATE paper. In
one question it mentioned that what instrument is used to calculate
ALTITUDE..? but i read it ALTITUDE.and answer for altitude is
altimeter.and it was there in option..so here i lost 1.33 marks
Tip 8 : jo question aata hai use pahele banao(FIRST SOLVE THE
QUESTION WHICH YOU KNOW) just give try to question 1st which you
already confident about.and that too give it one try only otherwise it may
take considerable time and you may run out of the time. You may find many
students doing same mistake once the exam is completed.
While attempting the paper just give one try .If you cant do it than take the
next .once you have covered whole paper than refer it from starting review the
question which you had already done and try for the question which you were
not able to solve. You may take 2 to 3 rounds .
Tip 9 : strictly follow above eight tips.
18
20
3 : Try to make you better day by daykeeping a diary with you and writing
what you did today will help you to be better tomorrow. It is said that an
average man gets 60000 thoughts per day and once you write your thought
on paper your mind removes other 59999 thoughts away and starts working
on one thought that you have written.
Hope you may find this helpful

Above is one of the Gujarati saying which means , when problem do comes
dont bother .by bothering problem will not get solved. In problem do work and
that work will vanish your problem.
Many times in life it do occurs that we get afraid of the condition ,even though
we had overcome many big problems in past than the present one but then
also our heart gets afraid..
Why is it so.?
Its because we had left trying .its because we are now afraid of failure.
But many times in life small failure leads us to BIG SUCCESS.
The moment we lost the fear of failure ,the way of success starts from there
only.
for example :
Many times we have some phobia for a subject or topic that its too difficult to
understand or i dont like that particular subject or topic and we start
ignoringthis ignoring makes the phobia bigger one as we had feed the
phobiabut at some point of time a situation comes that we must have to
face the subject or topic and once we did it nicely we felt that we would have
done it much earlier
Death comes once but the fear makes a person to die daily.
Finally,
Dar sabako lagata hai lekin dar ke aage jeet hai. ( everyone gets fear but
there is a success ahead of the fear)

oye..os boode aadhmi ko dhekho his child is studying in Delhi for flying and
repairing airplanes..what a lucky father he is ..
These are some talks I came across when i get to talk with the society.
In olden days there were only very few engineering colleges. But here in
Tamilnadu alone, we have 400+ engineering colleges. And still the condition is
that, not all the institutions can provide Aeronautical engineering
programs. Getting accreditation from the authorities needs lot of
infrastructures. Not just like other programs of engineering, getting equipment
for labs are not so easy. We need original aircraft parts and systems which is
very difficult to get and is very costly too.
So now you are in an institution with all the facilities and accreditation from
respective authorities. You are in a place where most of the students struggle
to get in !
You are in the field of engineering where most of the students dont dare to
take or not get a chance either!
So, first be proud of yourselves for where you stand now!
Aviation and Aeronautical engineering is such a wonderful field that you are
recognized where ever you go. The reason behind this is that, people saw
airplanes only in sky with roaring sound and may be sometimes in movies.
So now you are not in land! Loving the work you do is the first thing you need
to do. If your parents forced you to take this course or if you are not
interested; either, or if you are not ready to develop the interest ..here you
go:]- just buckle your shoes and run away or be ready minded to take over
this life challenge. This book will be really an eye opener for you, read it fully,
you will find a solution to succeed. You will love this field of engg, I awe you !!
There are students who joined the institution without proper guidance. The
first year students feel that they will become a pilot after engineering. Lol, but
by his third or fourth semester, he will really know what he is doing. What I
31
can tell you for first year students is that the first and second semester are
completely a detailed review of your 8th standard to 12th standard subjects.
Engineering is all about physics and mathematics !
Be strong in mathematics. You will know later how you will struggle hard
without proper knowledge in solving problems.
I would like to share my small experience with you. It was a day when my 10th
standard board exam results were published. Some further formalities and
procedures where happening in the school for the admission th 11th standardscience and commerce department.
I studied in a school where every parents will be proud to say that my son is
studying in so and so school. For admitting in science department, (computer
science) the cutoff marks they put for mathematics was 80 marks. I was so
weak in maths that I scored only 79 ! an what they told was, if you got 79, go
to commerce admissions and if you get 80, you can go to science department.
Do that one mark decides our career and dreams ? I never think of giving up
there. I left that school and joined a local school for same science department.
What I did is putting an extra time in studying maths. Later I scored very good
marks in my twelth, than my friends who got 80 from my previous school. How
this happened and how I complete my engineering ? Its only because of my
monomaniac mind that succeeded everywhere.
With the only vision that I should do my engineering and go back to the same
school where the kicked me out, just to show the value of one mark to all
students there !
Coming to the importance of engineering subjects, Elements of
aeronautics is the basic subject for aeronautical engineering, followed by flight
dynamics and stability. without knowing this basic subjects of aeronautics, you
will never reach anywhere in the field as well as studying other subjects is
meaningless too !

well and take seminar. You will never forget that topic in your life time . I can
guarantee you with my experience.
5) If you are addicted with last minutes preparations, never study blindly all
the topics.
Always have the habit of keeping the syllabus in front of you, while you study.
Omitting one or two topics is ok if you are preparing for the exam in the last
minute.
6) Have the habit of collecting previous year question papers. Collect the last
3 years question papers and if you study the question paper alone, you can
score 70%. Because, you can see that questions are always repeated alike.
7) If you are aiming for good percentage, here is the best tip- always score
90% in your laboratory exams and if you score just 50% for theory subjects,
you will automatically see that you already scored 65% !! so now if you score
60% in theory ? think !
8) Never think of doing malpractices in exam hall by taking bits of papers. You
are ruining yourselves first and you will never get passed for that particular
paper because you will lose you maximum time in exam hall. By the time you
write two bits of copy papers, do study at least one answer.
9) Never waste your time in exam hall. Be very planned to write the answers.
First impression will be the best. So always start the page with the answers
that you know very well.
10) Always revise everything you studied, before you enter the exam hall.
Never study anything new in that moment. You will get confused.
To the arrear students, getting arrears is usual. Never loose hopes. Try to
get passed in the very next attempt itself. Be prepared for next sem. Opt for
studying repeated questions alone, with previous year question papers. keep
extra time for your arrear subjects.
Tips for a good career:
34
Always be different from your friends. Never waste you day when you are in
engineering. Later you will regret for the day you wasted.
Always do research in innovative topics. Develop papers .do analysis.
Whether you fail or not, its a research paper. You will always gain more
knowledge in the related subjects.
Go for many conferences and seminars. Give weightage for international
seminars.
Publish as much as research papers you are possible.
Never involve your friends name or staffs name, if your project is from your
own brain !
Do internships in reputed organizations, if its government organization like
DRDO, ISRO, HAL, that will be a plus point.
Try to do your final year projects in reputed organizations or institutions. It
has got a high value than others doing projects in same institution.
You can always seek the help from your professors, but never get
demotivated.
All the above points are always a plus point in your resume.
So here you go ! I think you now have got the basic idea about Aeronautical
engineering and cleared up related doubts.
Thanks for reading this short article.

Chapter 17:
A BROAD VIEW THROUGH A SMALL
WINDOW:
Stories of few IITians
IIT but yet somewhere at a deep corner inside the heart, there was a fear.
After all these were AeSI papers, not jokes. But he has come out with a big
smile.
But will these stories meet the requirement of the book which is intended for
those are seeking jobs, be it after A.M.Ae.S.I. or M.Tech.
And then today evening I have met my hero. I was in a conversation with Mr
Dilip and some other guys. We were totally in funny mood, cracking jokes,
mimicking others and all those silly stuffs. And after sometime we were talking
of some serious issues and thus I came to know his story.
Presently doing M.Tech. in an IIT as a sponsored candidate from a prestigious
government organization, he is a senior scientist there. He joined the
government organization exactly after 8 years of the completion of B.E. in
Mechanical Engineering.
As a bright student of Mechanical Engineering, he could have done software
courses and could have earned 7-8 lakhs package at that time , which had
been done by the most of the engineering graduates of his time.
Instead he gave a run for his passion, that is designing. Initially he worked
somewhere for two years with a mere salary of 350rs per month and then he
started as a contract engineer in HAL ( Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) with a
salary of 3500-5000rs per month, that too under the toughest scientist of our
time. And then finally he reached his destination, getting selected in a post for
which there were seven thousands odd applicants. Today he is a respected
scientist there and here he comes on a sabbatical to complete his Master in
Aerospace Engineering.
And then one more story, even more interesting. Its the story of Bheemesh
Gudelli who is a manager in HAL, I repeat, manager in HAL. And could you
believe that he was a luggage train driver before joining HAL. Soon after the
completion of B.E. from Andhra University, he initially took agriculture as his
37
profession. Two years later he joined the job of train driver and then joined
prestigious HAL.
Here the stories of two true gentleman who dreamt of something and then
realized it. These are the stories of two non AeSIian guys who despite of
having regular B.E. degree, struggled to realize their dream. Salute to them.
N.B. The real name of the first character that is Dilip is kept anonymous on
his request.

1) Lacking of fundamentals:
Most of the students are weak in fundamentals because of what they find
themselves unable to analyze the results and reasons properly, which
definitely affects their result at semester end and their knowledge too.
I want to share a story:
A long time ago there was a woodcutter he was working hard from morning to
evening to collect the dry wood from the jungle, he was working in the same
company from last 10 years but never got promoted even once. One day a
new boy was appointed for the same job. Only after a year he got promotion.
The man was shocked to know this and ran to the manager and asked him
why he was not given promotion even after his 10 years devoted service. The
manager told him politely Every day that boy is cutting twice the woods as
you. The man was surprised and decided to work much harder than ever to
beat him. Next day he woke up 4 oclock in the morning and was cutting till he
felled with tiredness but finally found he had cut no more woods than the
usual.
Next day he met the boy to know the secret behind it. The boy said I sharpen
my axe for first two hours before I start to cut the woods the story ends here.
So the point here is the tool that we are using here to clear our subjects is
sharpen enough or not?
So my idea to solve this problem is that there should be a separate class that
newcomers and weak students must join where they can be taught only
fundamentals of basic physics and mathematics those are common to our
syllabus.
With that one should take care of food and health and take the healthy
breakfast in morning.
2)We should help each other and should have unity among all the students:
40
In our course most of the students are hardworking. So why not to share our
hard work with each other? So for this my idea is to divide all students of a
class into a no. of groups each of 5-6 students who will sit together in the
class always. And one of them should be a group leader who has already
written the subject and have enough idea about it (for this he must be given
some concession in fees).
Now each single group should target to master at a particular topic/chapter
(say in one month) in which they solve various types of derivation and
problems also question paper questions. Each single student in the group will
do the same job and then they should discuss the points and problems
encountered and share their experience with other students of the group.
They should take care that everyone in the group understood the things
clearly.
Then they should be allowed to discuss with each other when that particular
topic is discussed in the class. Before the chapter begins in class the
corresponding group should present their work to the teacher for making sure
what theyve learnt is correct from all aspects.
In this way we can improve our performance and why not to do this? Just
think if you would be in a regular college would you be able to do this? If we
are in correspondence course and we have freedom then why not to utilize it
and do such a job that we could never be able to do it in a regular course. If
this idea is executed then Im enough confident that it can give big results.
And automatically this method will also prepare them for various interviews
(like MS, M.Tech. etc.).
3) Discussion:
To explain the importance of it Ive one more story:
Once there were four blind men who were invited to observe an elephant.
They got different- different parts of its body. And when asked about their
41
experience one who got its trunk said its like a snake, other one who got the
tail, said its like a broomstick and one who got the leg said its like a pillar.
Our situation is also similar. For Example if we have to study about a
hexagon. We see its different-different projections (like rectangle, plane
hexagon etc.) and we think what we saw is correct. But when we sit together
to discuss about it then only we realize the reality that it was a 3 dimensional
hexagon.
A very good idea to utilize advance technology for this purpose is to create
face book groups for various subjects where we can clear our doubts today
and even after years when new students will come to study this subject. (You
can see and join my such a group Aerodynamics by clicking the hyperlink:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/354661017903376)
4) Financial problems:
Most of the students are not good financially so taking a home tuition can be a
good option for them. But if they are lagging behind in basics and
fundamentals then it can be a difficult task. So my idea of separate class of
fundamentals surely is helpful in this way too. Then theyll have lesser time for
their study for what my idea given above in second point will be helpful. (For
this also a Facebook group can be created so that can be introduced to the
teachers (our society students) and school students parents to make
available the classes without any agent easily).
5) Time management:
Our Natarajan sir usually says in his class Count every day how many hours
you study every day. If you are not spending 50% of the total available time
then how you can say that you are a student? what he says has a strong
logic behind. If we analyze every day (how many hours we study sincerely
)/(how many hours are awake) and keep an eye over our performance after
few days you will find yourself worrying about your wasted time and in next
few days youll be utilizing your most of the time more efficiently.
42
6) Proper revision:
Revision is very important, at the same time whole time cannot be wasted
every day for revising the text and notes. So collect all the formulae, graphs
and conclusions on chart/cards in minimum possible words by using
diagrams, symbols, and signs not only to reduce words but also the time to
revise it frequently. Every time when you will revise it, many new points will
click you, so make sure that you leave enough space to add new points.
Finally Ill say you should not study so hard so that it makes you tired or make
your study boring. You should find enough time to refresh yourself at
weekends or the days when you are free but periodically.
Wishing you all the best!
