Top 30 Engineering Colleges In India 2023 Based On Placement And Industry Interface

By Careerindia Desk

It wouldn't be far-fetched to suggest that engineering is this country's national profession when one considers that the nation produces almost 25 lakh engineers annually. In fact, people in our country first train to be engineers before deciding what to do with their lives.

 

That is precisely why a sizable proportion of engineers go on to become musicians, authors, dancers, photographers, and other creatives. Even if this isn't the topic of our discussion right now, it is nevertheless true that the enormous numbers of engineers who are created each year originate from an equal number of universities.


Fact you must know- The total number of seats for admission in the Academic year 2020-2021 in various courses of Engineering and Professional Institutes of Central Government is 57,443 and for All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approved Government & Private Institutions are 5,64,308 and 25,22,357 respectively.


With engineering colleges mushrooming across the country, taking a pick with respect to which would be the best institution for you to pursue your technical education becomes a million-dollar question. To help you out of this dilemma, here is a list of the top 30 engineering colleges in the country based on the National Institutional Ranking Framework, Ministry of Education (NIRF). The ranking is authentic and has been made on the basis of the fee structure and placement facilities; the colleges have been arranged in the correct order.

The academic discipline of Engineering is one of the majors that is becoming increasingly popular in India. The dream of almost every science student is to graduate from one of India's top engineering institutes and become a successful engineer. The battle for a student, though, begins with choosing from among India's top engineering institutions. Students begin looking for the top engineering institution in India after they receive their JEE Main rank since this will allow them to pursue their dreams. India's four zones- North, East, South, and West have compiled a list of the top engineering schools in the country for 2023.

Selecting which engineering college would be ideal for you to pursue your technical education becomes a million-dollar question as engineering colleges are sprouting up all over the country. Here is a list of the top 30 engineering colleges in the nation, according to the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), published by the Ministry of Education.
