20 Best Engineering Colleges in India

There are several Engineering colleges in India, and every college is churning out Engineering graduates by thousands each academic year. There is even a joke that every other college guy in India today is Engineers.

While Engineering is a great career, one has to be tactical in selecting which college you go to. Because, there are several Engineering colleges out there that are out to mint your money without giving you any credible affiliation, forget a career. But unfortunately, many people in India do not know how to select which Engineering college to go to, just because there are so many.

In this article, I’ve listed the best Engineering colleges in India based on various surveys and research data.

Before getting into an Engineering college – Think!

Getting into any Engineering college is probably easy, but getting into a quality, authoritative and accredited one however is not.

Selecting the right college is therefore probably the most important decision you got to make when thinking about a career in Engineering. So, think twice and ask the folks who passed out how their experience has been. That’s the best way to validate the claims made by these colleges.

How to choose a good Engineering college

In order to find out which is the top Engineering college in India, ask people you know around. Find out what their opinion is. Also, ask for ex-students, find out where they are placed now. Find out how their experience was, studying at the college.

Apart from all these, there are several industrial surveys conducted by the media and several other institutions every year, to find out the top Engineering colleges in India. Do check out those surveys. Below are some of them.
