Top 25 Engineering Colleges For ME/MTech

CareerIndia presents the top 10 colleges in India for ME/MTech along with their ranking, fee structure and other distinct factors that make them the best.

By Staff

With a major chunk of India's youth population opting for a career in engineering, it is obvious that quite a lot of engineering colleges will pop up to meet this growing demand. Not all of these colleges are good though.

 

While it is with immense pride we say that we have some of the best institutes in terms of faculty, infrastructure and student quality, it is important to note that only a very small chunk of the engineering colleges in the country is at par with the global standards.

The reason for the same may be attributed to the fact that in a county like ours, almost all the capable engineering students get jobs as they graduate from college. Only those students who are absolutely unemployable or the ones who have an actual knack and interest in higher studies go for a master's degree in this field.

Thus, the institutes that offer a master's degree in engineering also target one of the aforementioned categories of students. Thus, if you are someone who is genuinely interested in research, ending up in a wrong institute can become the worst decision of your life.

On the other hand, if you plan to go for a graduate degree in engineering, choosing the wrong college may hinder your career growth in ways you cannot even imagine. To prevent such a thing from happening, here is a list of top 25 engineering colleges in the country for ME/MTech.
