TYPES OF ENGINEERING COLLEGES
IITs
The best in the country, nearly 2-3 lakh students vie for the 10,000 seats on offer. But the new IITs are plagued by faculty shortage, and their infrastructure is yet to be in place. So the established IITs must be the first choice. Vis-à-vis the newer ones, the established NITS might offer better value.
NITs & IIITs
NITs and IIITs are set up by the central government (IIITs are set up in collaboration with private sector and State governments) and are the places to go for engineering. While older NITs have established themselves, newer ones need time to be in the reckoning. However, next to IITs they offer the best engineering education.
University Departments/Constituent Colleges
These are colleges, which gave birth to engineering education in the country, like the College of Engineering, Anna University, or the College of Engineering, Pune University. These are pioneering institutions in respective States and remain the first choice for State-level engineering aspirants.
Affiliated colleges
They form the largest number of engineering colleges, both in public and private sectors. They account for over 90% of the seats. And they are quite varied in their quality and value of their programme. So evaluate carefully before you sign up.
Private universities/ Deemed Universities
Despite the uncertainty due to the Tandon Committee Report, Deemed universities have emerged out of existing engineering colleges and some of them like BITS Pilani are very well known. Do look at their pedigree and then decide on the admissions.
