Admission Process for Best Engineering Colleges in India

Students aspiring for a career in engineering are in a dilemma at many of the times – which engineering colleges to go for and what are the admission processes for these colleges? This blog post is dedicated to these students (as well as to their parents/guardians to guide them). At first let me tell you that the term “Best College” is always so controversial – the surveys for ranking the colleges are done by many organisations and the methodologies used by them also vary from one to another. However, we can safely conclude that among the top-rung colleges, the rankings itself would not differ that much – since the good colleges are always good, regardless of whether they occupies rank 1st or 75th. Therefore, I narrowed down my search for the best engineering colleges to the ranking done by Outlook-GFK-Mode Survey-2009, which had published a list of top-75 engineering colleges in India in June 2009. You can find the survey statistics along with the methodology here. What are the admission process/name of the entrance exam for these 75 best engineering colleges in India? I had a hard time finding the answer to this question, as websites of many of these best engineering colleges either does not have an “Admission” section or “Admission” section is poorly maintained with little information. You can find the list of these 75 best engineering colleges below, along with the name of the entrance exams. You can visit the admission section of the college websites directly by clicking on the name of these engineering colleges. In the college list, you would find name of more than one entrance exam for some of the engineering colleges – the reason being that certain percentage of admission is done on the basis of one engineering entrance exam, while the rest are done through another entrance exam/based on merit. For instance, in Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), 15% seats are admitted for outside-Delhi Region candidates through AIEEE, while remaining 85% seats for Delhi Region candidates is done through CEE, Delhi. Also (G) denotes Govt. college while (P) stands for Private colleges. 1. IIT Kharagpur (G), entrance exam name: IIT JEE 2. IIT Bombay (G), entrance exam name: IIT JEE 3.
