Top 100 Engineering Colleges in India - Survey 2021

Getting students Industry ready is a topic that has been discussed many times over the years and as the industry academia gap is getting wider, it is high time that educators come up with a solid plan to tackle this situation. This gap is further exemplified in the engineering realm where a study conducted a couple of years ago shows that less than 10 percent of engineering graduates have adequate skills for them to be employed. This is in stark contrast with some of the other developed countries. The lack of practical-oriented education and the inability of the education system to develop the critical thinking capabilities among the students can be pointed as some of the reasons behind this.

As many are looking optimistic about NEP 2020, if certain other aspects that are engrained in the Indian higher education doesn't change, then NEP alone can't guarantee the desired results. Another aspect that many analysts point out to the alarming unemployment rate among engineering graduates is the sheer number of students that graduate every year. A recent study suggests that a total of 15 lakh engineering students graduate each year in India. This means that there will be immense competition for jobs in the engineering stratum.

As of 2019, there are 6,214 engineering and technology institutions in India and out of this, many are aiming for traditional methods of engineering education which holds back the true potential of the students. With that said, pioneering educational institutions like SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Nirma Institute of Technology, Ahmedabad, and Institute Of Engineering & Management (IEM), Kolkata are aiming to stand-out from the rest of the colleges in the stratum through their innovative teaching pedagogies and industry-centric education.

This is a welcoming change and it solidifies the fact that, if you are able to get into some of the top engineering colleges in the country, then you will be able to get a head-start in your professional career. In order to help the students who are looking for a premier higher engineering institute in the country, we at Higher Education Review magazine are trying to simplify your confusion of selecting the best Indian engineering colleges.
