Important Information for Delhi Students !

I'm receiving frequent messages on various Social Networking platforms. Few of these messages are :
- It's been 4 semesters, I've cleared only 3 papers. 
- I've cleared 3 out of 4 but with 50 marks. 
- It's my 4th time I failed in Microprocessor & Thermodynamics. 

I'm habitual to see these problems in Delhi but trust me you'll find these problems comparatively less in cities like Chennai & Bangalore. I believe in finding out the solution rather than discussing on the problems.

Before going further I want to very specific that I don't want to hurt the brand value of any Institute but I want people to know the fact.
- Check out an interesting & helpful post "Key to clear AeSI" (Click Here)
- Don't give party to friends if you clear any paper with 50-59 marks. Clearing the paper with <60 marks will never help you in your future.
- In Delhi, You have options to clear Section-A with good marks but for Section-B, I'm sorry but It's not the right place. 
- Many institutes might say you to check the history of institute like There are 10 students who have cleared the degree from our institute or There are 100... But Ask them :
> How many have completed the degree with more than 60% ?
> How many have completed the degree with above 65% ? 
> Who was the teacher when he cleared the degree with 65%, Is he still teaching in the institute ? 

Do Analysis ! & let me glow light on some alternatives.
- Do you know that there is an organization "Institution of Electronic & Telecommunication (IETE)" and Sagarpur, Delhi is the best coaching place for it. 
- Even though the standard of IETE is comparatively less than AeSI but we have some common subjects like 
> Engineering Mathematics
> Basic Electronics
> Microprocessors & Microcontrollers
- You can take additional coaching of these subjects at Sagarpur and I'm confident that It'll help you a lot.
> In Sagarpur, You'll find so many institutes who are running business in the name of education so Select the best institute before getting yourself enrolled for a particular subject. The fee might cost you around 2000/subject.
Moreover Be aware of Fraud Institutes. Please check a post on it (Click Here).

We are not recommending any institute. In case if you need any clarification on it so you may send an email to Team-My Aesi at sukhbinder.singh@gmail.com 

AeSI AMAeSI Results and some questions

As soon as I saw Himalya post announcing the AESI results, I downloaded the pdf of results. Seeing the numbers, the statistician in me was not able to resist playing with that data.

So with few tinkering and re grouping, I  tried answering these following questions i had in mind looking at the data.

1. What is the highest no Pass in any subject in section A and B?
2. What are the top 3 top scoring subjects in Section A ?
3. What are the top 3 top scoring subjects in Section B ?
4. What are the top 3 low scoring subject in Section A ?
5. What are the top 3 low scoring subject in Section B ?
6. Avionic 1 or 2 which one is more scoring?
7. Propulsion 1 or Propulsion 2 which one scores more ?
8. Which elective subject is most and least scoring?
9. What are the top scores of each subject?
10. Which subject gets most borderline score in section A/Section B ?
11. Which subjects are easy and scoring?

Before you look at the data, some usage explanation.

• Max Mark is maximum marks score in that subject
• 75% got this means that 75% of the students who appeared in that paper scored more than this.
• % of 50 represents the percentage of students of total appeared who got just 50, the minimum score to pass.
• No of pass is the number of students who cleared the subject.

Top scoring subjects in Section A	max marks	75 % got this	% of 50	no of pass
STRENGTH OF MATERIALS	91	65.3	20.31%	128

Tips to send Job Application via email.

Market Leaders use BrassRing to accept Job Applications, however there are so many entry level companies which accept the Job Application through an email.

The common queries about this application process are :
- What should I write in an email, while sending Job Application ?
- What is the best way to send Job Application ?
- How to develop recruiter's interest in the profile ?
- What exactly does a company expect from a candidate ?
& the list goes on .... Isn't it ?

The first step is to spend time in understanding the company's profile through website. Make a note of it's current projects.

1- Subject of the email :
It helps recruiters & the system to filter profiles according to the job hence selecting relevant subject matters a lot.
> Mention the job code in the subject (if any)
> If you don't know the job code so use subject like "Job Application" etc.. 

2- Greetings & Salutation :
Always remember that First impression is the last impression. 
If you're interested so you can greet the recruiter as well. Example "Greetings of the day !"
Begin your email with "Dear Mr./Mrs. Last Name" and if you don't know the last name so you can use "Dear Recruitment Manager"
> Salutation is always used with the last name. 

3- Introduction :
Begin by stating what job you are applying for. Explain where you heard about the job, particularly if you heard about it from a contact associated with the company.
Briefly mention how your skills and experience match the company and/or position; this will give the employer a preview of the rest of your letter.
Example : 
If the company deals in Unmanned Air Vehicle & you've made a project on it during your academics so mention it. 
If it deals in Antenna & Navigation and you've scored good marks in the Section-B paper of Radio so mention it.
(Mentioning the skills of CFD while applying for a job of "Pilot" or "Avionics Technician" will never help you.)
> It's very necessary to mention Job specific skills & experience. 
   
4- Closing :
Restate how your skills make you a strong fit for the company and/or position. State that you would like to interview and/or discuss employment opportunities.
Example : 
Looking forward for your positive response and to shake hands with the future projects. 
Looking forward for your positive response and to be a part of team-My AeSI asap. 
Looking forward for your positive response and a long term career with Himalya Group.

Key Points to remember :

1. An email Job Application should be no more than one page long.
2. Use a professional font such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri. The font size should be between 10 and 12 points.
3. It should be properly organized, formatted and spaced so it's readable and makes the best impression on the recruitment manager.
4. Attach a nicely crafted resume. (Resume differs from company to company. Always remember that mentioning relevant skills, experience, projects and achievements matter a lot)
5. Include your contact information at the end of the Job Application.

Cheers !

Initiative Vs Result !

I've read this comment somewhere at AeSI Alumni Association's official page at LinkedIn

"I got a problem for my Visa for germany. Those german people were very confuse after seeing my Aeronautical Society degree certificate and finally they they did not approve me Visa. 

It is really paining, even after finishing degree we are unable to get par from its black patch and always get stuck here or there." by Devendra Rathore.

Henceforth I've taken a little initiative to promote the brand value of Aeronautical Society of India and posted the below mentioned information on several groups including "Hire an Avionics & Embedded System Team in India"

Result of this initiative :

Gotra Technologies LLP

I'm sure that the list will go on & in the future, there will be more companies which will know about Aeronautical Society of India and it's brand value. It's just the starting & we have to travel a lot. Expecting more people to come forward to shake hand with such initiatives. 

Life of a Avionics Trainee !

We are habitual to read A as in Apple but now I shall tell you how this Apple become Avionics.
We all know the taste of an apple. Come let's taste Avionics this time.
I'm sharing the real life training experience of an avionics student and due to confidentiality, I'm not sharing his name & the laboratory name where he is working as a trainee.

Hi Bhaiya
I’ll try to make it feel like a story instead of a report, I think it is a better way to make people understand by telling them a story along with a moral instead of making them feel that it is some kind of a report.

After trying very hard for 6 months by pulling strings ,repeatedly begging people ,I finally got the chance to do a project at **** in autopilot. So I’m happy and at the same time nervous , about how thing are going to be in  **** , such a big organization and such scholar people, and I’m just a puny aesian who have just a little knowledge about control system.
Some how I reached there and meet my mentor , the profound scientist in autopilot.  The first day he said I’m a very busy person ,I’m not going to give much time. You do what ever you can , show it to me , then I decide what to do and rest. I agreed. The division of **** I’m in , I didn’t knew that they only make missiles and have no interests in aircrafts. My mentor said draw me the control forces and the moments of a tail control missile , that was the first question. I have studied about aircraft for the 4 yrs but I have no knowledge about missiles, so I said I don’t know about missiles, but if u want I can draw you the control forces of an aircraft. He said ok, but I need the diagrams for missiles. He gave some books and said read this and come prepare tomorrow. Now ,how to draw the control forces diagrams of a thing which is complexed and unknown to me in one day. Still I read 2 , 3 chapters and went the next day.
That day I figured out what are the types of missiles, how they are classified,and so on.
Next day I went and I showed what have I done, mainly the diagrams of cp aft of cg for stability and the basic control surface movement from the book he gave me the previous day.
He saw the thing and said, no I don’t want this, just tell me how do you control a tail control missile?.
I was speechless and breathless. I shot few blank arrows ,nothing happened though and then I turned the page where there was a diagram of statically stable missile with cp aft of cg. I said the criteria for statically stable missile. He asked how do you control an unstable missile?
Again I went blank. He said studying one or 2 chapters won’t do study the full book. I was thinking how was it possible in a day, still I said sir can you me more books I can’t understand from the previous book. He gave some more books, and I said I will come back after I finish these, he said go.
I started reading those and got nothing, ‘cause they not the basic books and so I turned to check what aesi have suggested for rockets and missiles . I got SS CHIN there and started with that.  The book was meant for the basic and I was happy.
I drew the control forces diagram along with the transfer function and went to him. He again asked me the same question how to control a unstable missile , I said it not possible using a single control surface.
He said tail control missiles have only one control surface, then he himself told me the answer which I knew but I thought that was not  appropriate ‘cause you won’t get a proper stability using it, as there will be oscillation, but he said that is different but basic is this.
So that happened and next task he gave to  design a 2 loop configuration of a missile pitch , yaw and roll autopilot and determine the gains. I thought I came here to learn it and he Is telling me to design it,wow.
After looking here and there in various thesis and algorithms which I didn’t understand  I drew a design and showed him. He said I told just close the loop no compensators are needed, ne never said anything like that previously ,but still you can’t tell him anything. He said just close the loop and check the root locus, nyquist ,bode plot of the plant and the closed loop system. I asked , what should I checked for?
Then he gave the the design criteria’s , like the gain margin, phase margin, overshoot, settling time and others. He asked what datas are you using I said no datas, just the examples given in the books. He said come and use my thesis data .i was thinking who is a bigger **** me or he? I wasted my whole week looking here and there and now he is talking. Still i’m going to get his data tomorrow and start over again.
So what is the moral
-Know about the company you are aiming for.
-Complete the literature  of your project and select a area of work before entering the company.
-Get a good mentor.  

This is the story of a student who is in Section-B of Avionics and waiting for his final result. I hope by reading  it you'll understand what is the job of a trainee ? What one does in internship ? and apart a real example of the quote : "Where there's a will, there's a way."

If you have something to share which can become a lesson to learn for others, so you're welcome.

Strategy to clear Principle of Flight exam.

I'm noticing frequent messages/posts from students & teachers seeking advise regarding strategy to clear/teach Principle of Flight. Candidates are worrying a lot because AeSI surprised everyone by last year's question paper. Isn't it ?

I remember my old days when my grand father used to narrate stories of Ali Baba & Shek Chilli to me. Even though I don't remember the stories which I read in my book but I remember each & every story shared by my grand father.
I do understand that being a student, reading the history of flight will make you sleep but I'm confident that if any teacher will narrate it like a grand father so you'll remember at least 60% of it in the examination hall.

1) Say your teachers to be grand father and narrate the history of flight as a story to you once in a week.
(I'm sure it'll help you to answer unexpected questions.)
2) Principle of flight is a subject where the way you answer does matter a lot.
- Make diagram in every reasoning.
- Don't forget naming each part of the diagram.
- To the point answer will help you in getting more marks.
- Rather than answering continuously in a paragraph, make points and answer accordingly.
- Use flow charts, graphs and other methods to answer in a better way.
3) Collect all modified syllabus question papers of Principle of Flight, Write all reasoning in a separate note book. & Practice it as many times as possible. Don't practice it orally, Try to write and check it yourself.
4) Truss : It is very important & simple as well. Devote a week for this topic & practice as many questions as possible. It is a part of the paper where you may get full marks.
5) Give examples in support of your answer.
6) Many students follow tradition of not preparing for "Aircraft Systems". But the reality is that it is the most easiest unit of this paper. Use your available resources & have a better command on Aircraft Systems as well.
7) Follow the above 6 points without failure.

Besides it don't forget to check "Key to clear AeSI".
In case if you want to add-on something, so comments are welcome. Let's discuss !
