According to a survey, engineering is a dream of most of the young personalities living in India. In India, there are many engineering colleges established to provide the education of technology to the students so that they can fulfill their dreams to become an engineer.
This article is written to provide a solution to a frequently asked question – which are the best private engineering colleges in India? Also, we are going to discuss various topics related to the BTech course and admission.
Top Private Engineering Colleges in India
Engineering is the application of science, mathematics and technology to innovate and manage the machines, structures, apparatus and production procedure. It is the most famous course among the youth of India as it provides many career opportunities and secures jobs in different fields of technology.
Engineering courses can be pursued by the students just after completion of their 10th class education such as diploma courses like polytechnic or after completion of 10+2 such as BTech degree courses.
BTech is the most pursued course of engineering. Engineering can be pursued in various specializations that are designed according to the technical need of various industries. Some most popular specializations are mentioned here:-
- Mechanical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Science & Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Structural Engineering
India has established around 2000 private engineering colleges in its origin to provide the best technical education to aspirants who are aspiring to make a career in the field of engineering. These colleges are offering various full-time, part-time, distance and online engineering courses to the aspirants.
These colleges include VIT University (Vellore), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Coimbatore, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Patiala), Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS Pilani), Amity University (Noida), Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (SOA) University (Bhubaneswar), SASTRA (Deemed to be University) (Thanjavur), Birla Institute of Technology (Ranchi), SRM Institute of Science and Technology (Chennai), Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswar, etc.
Private Engineering Courses Admission Eligibility Criteria
Engineering courses can be pursued at UG, PG, Diploma and Ph.D. levels. The eligibility criteria differ as per the course and branch selected by the candidate.
Here we have mentioned basic eligibility criteria required to join different undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma courses of engineering. So let’s have a look:
- B.Tech: Candidates must have passed Class 12 from a recognized board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects. They must have also secured a minimum of 60 percent aggregate score
- B.Tech Lateral Entry: Candidates must have passed a three-year Diploma granted by the Board of Technical Examination of a State Government, with a minimum 45 percent aggregate or equivalent
- M.Tech: Candidates who have completed their BE/BTech degree with a valid score in GATE are eligible for the ME/MTech degree course
- Diploma: Aspirants must have passed Class 10/equivalent examination, with at least 35 percent in Science and Maths subjects
- Ph.D: Aspirants must have secured a minimum of 55 percent aggregate or 5.5 CPI in BTech/MTech or equivalent degree in relevant streams
Many top-ranked Private Engineering colleges in India also accept scores of national- and state-level entrance exams, including JEE Main, KCET, TS EAMCET, TNEA, MHT CET, JEE Advanced, WBJEE, etc.
