Hello,
To become a pilot the education qualification required is that the candidate needs to qualify 10+2 level with maths and physics and minimum of 50% aggregate. So Aeronautical or Aerospace engineering doesn’t matter you can peruse the course to become a pilot. Yes an Aeronautical Engineer can become a pilot. You need to join any Pilot academy and then become a pilot.
