Top Engineering Colleges in India

Engineering colleges are the institutes of higher education which offer an engineering course at degree (undergraduate) level. The duration of the course is four to five years depending upon the university to which the college is affiliated. The students learn little of basic science (pure science) concentrating instead on its applications to real life problems. There are some colleges which provide postgraduate courses such as PhDs. Students can specialise in different branches such as electrical engineering, civil engineering and mechanical engineering. The popularity of engineering colleges is surging, especially in third world countries like India, possibly because the Information Technology (IT) sector has a high demand for engineers.

There are basically three types of rankings:

• Government Rankings
• Academic Rankings
• Magazine Rankings

Indian engineering schools are annually ranked by Mint, Outlook (magazine), India Today and DataQuest.
