🔬 About Engineering Education in India

Engineering continues to be one of the most sought-after career paths in India. The top tier of colleges, primarily Government-run IITs and NITs, offers world-class research infrastructure, highly accomplished faculty, and the best corporate placement opportunities.

The admission process is highly competitive, relying mainly on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main for NITs and other government colleges, and JEE Advanced for the coveted IIT seats. While government colleges offer high ROI, top Private Universities like BITS Pilani and VIT provide modern, industry-focused curricula and better flexibility, often using their own entrance exams. The most popular specializations are currently Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Data Science, AI & Machine Learning, and Electrical Engineering.
