Engineering Entrance Exams : What you must know
Aspirants who are willing to get admission in the top notch engineering colleges in India appear in the engineering entrance exams. Students have to give different entrance exams to get entry into the premier institutes of India.
Every year, a large number of students appears in various engineering entrance examination [http://education.latestt.com/entranceexams/subentranceexam.aspx?CatId=22&Cat=Engineering] to get admission for the undergraduate engineering programs in the field of engineering. The candidates should be minimum 10+2 qualified to get entry into the distinct engineering courses conducted in the premier institutes and colleges of India. Most of the engineering entrance exams are conducted at an all India level. There are seven Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs), i.e, Roorkee, Madras, Kharagpur, Kanpur, Guwahati, Delhi and Bombay, that are the foremost in terms of reputation as well as quality of education. Next in the list of the top institutes are 20 National Institute of Technologies, a few IIITs and several other private colleges and institutes providing career-oriented and industry-specific programmers for those aspiring for a career in the field of engineering. In India, there are many engineering institutes and colleges that have created distinguished niche among world academia. Some important and world-renowned institutes are:
IITs in India
Established in 1946 by the Executive Council of Viceroy, Sir Jogendra Singh, the Indian Institutes of Technology were aimed at developing a technical structure to aid the industrial development in the country. The first Indian Institute of Technology came into existence at Kharagpur in May 1950. Four more such institutes were set up in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kanpur by 1961. In 1994, the IIT Guwahati was established, and the University of Roorkee was approved for IIT status in 2001.
IIT Entrance Test
(A) Undergraduate Courses:
Students have to go through the IIT JEE entrance examination for taking admission into any of the bachelor degree courses conducted by several Indian Institutes of Technologies of India.
(B) Postgraduate Courses:
Students who want to earn their Postgraduate Degree from IITs have to appear in the following engineering entrance exams.
JAM (Msc)
CEED (M.Des)
GATE (M. Tech)
OTHER CENTRAL INSTITUTIONS OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Central Institute of Technology, Kokrajhar.
National Institutes of Technical Teachers Training & Research
School of Planning & Architecture (SPA), New Delhi
National Inst. of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT), Ranchi
National Institute of Industrial Engg. (NITIE), Mumb
Indian School of Mines University (ISMU), Dhanbad
All India Engineering Entrance Examination
AIEEE engineering entrance examination is conducted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India every year. Selected candidates get the chance to get entry into the existing 20 National Institute of Technologies (NITs). The All India Ranking (AIR) is the basis on which all candidates appear for state-specific counseling or central counseling or category-specific counseling. The candidates who belong from the SC/ST category and those who are physically handicapped are given the first two days of counseling, followed by the physically handicapped candidates who come under the Open (OP) category. The ranking system of the candidates depends upon the All India basis and the state they belong from, which is why both ranks, i.e., an All India Rank (AIR) as well as the state rank matter for the students who crack the entrance exam. A central analysis structure is provided with filling up the accessible seats all over India. The candidates can also fill their application forms on-line.
Present Scenario in Indian engineering education
There are a very huge number of students complete their Graduation/ Post Graduation degree every year from various engineering colleges or universities. According to the report of 'Engineering Education In India', conducted by two professors of IIT Bombay nearly 2.3 lakh students graduated in engineering in 2006. The students who earned their master degrees and Ph.Ds were 20,000 and 1,000, respectively.
The percentage of the students who completed their Doctorate degrees in engineering is less than one per cent of graduate engineering degrees. This percentage seems to be much higher in other countries like Germany (8 per cent), United States (9 per cent) and Britain (10 per cent).
