North-Central India's Uttar Pradesh is home to Kanpur, dubbed the Manchester of India. Kanpur offers the Indian Institute of Technology's Department of Aerospace Engineering. The program, self-described as a "premier teaching and research centre...engaged in engineering science instruction, in-flight laboratory work, aerodynamic testing, and indigenous design and fabrication of advanced facilities and instruments," offers graduate and post-graduate programs in aerospace engineering. Available lab subjects range from propulsion to high performance computing.
An alternative to Kanpur, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay offers undergraduate and post graduate studies, and research in the fields of aerodynamics, controls, propulsion, and structure. ITT Bombay also boasts both the Udan program, in which students and professors do outreach in schools, teaching children to build paper airplanes and the basics of aerospace engineering, and Zephyr, described by IIT Bombay's website as "an annual workshop with an attendance of a huge crowd, nationwide outreach and participation from eminent colleges across the country. The only event of its kind, serving as an annual national platform for the confluence of aerospace students, enthusiasts and companies."
Anna University, on India's eastern coast, is a grouping of three schools, one of which is the Madras Institute of Technology. More commonly known as MIT (not the be confused with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), the school was founded in 1949, with the mission statement: "Madras Institute of Technology shall strive towards becoming a world class institution by producing professionals with a high technical knowledge, professional skills and ethical values." Current major research projects at MIT include temperature mapping in rocket motor propellant grain and mathematical modeling of flow in a kerosene fueled scramjet combustor.
