Engineering and medicine are the top two domains that are most preferred by students in terms of careers. Among the two, the first one is most preferred for the variety of courses and streams the domain has to offer for every interested individual. The technical education students get in this domain helps them in a stable career in the field of technology and advancements.
Talking about the country as a whole, India is the second most popular country in the world whose education and career system still functions on “Degrees”. Considering this, every other student in India wants to become an engineer as they will get a degree and technical education too. Almost every science student in Indian schools dreams of becoming a successful engineer one day. However, the struggle starts with the first step itself, i.e. selecting the right engineering college suited to one’s needs and requirements.
In the Indian education system, the JEE exam is mandatory for students wishing to pursue higher education in the field of engineering. Lakhs of students sit for the JEE exam every year in the hope of clearing it in one go. Due to the low number of seats and high competition, very few students can crack the exam. The ones who crack it then search for ‘The Right Engineering College’.
Here, on this page, we have listed the Top 100 engineering colleges in India based on NIRF’s ranking. The colleges are situated across the nation in all 4 zones. Students wishing for a career in engineering can have a look and can decide on the college that meets their required standards.
