If Not IIT? Then What?

Engineering is one of the most sought after and preferred choices for students who belong to the science stream. Millions of students from all over India participate in entrance examinations like IIT-JEE,  BITSAT, VITEE, SRMEE, and MH-CET that are conducted by various colleges.

There are many grounds why students prefer this career option after their class 12th,engineering offers and assures a promising career and a vast number of job opportunities in diverse streams. Engineers are always in demand in the growing economy.  However, in order to aim high and to get the best colleges, students always want to follow the herd. If someone thinks of engineering, the first thought that approaches their mind is ‘IIT’. Nevertheless, India constitutes many other engineering colleges that students might not be aware of, colleges that impart knowledge and education of the same level, if not at a better level. There are only 16 IITs and 30 NITs, while around 20 lakh students appear for the examinations for mere 30,000 seats on offer.

Apart from IIT and NIT, there are many other options like many national and state level colleges that offer a  high standard of education to students.
