Engineering is described as the application of science and mathematics which is used for making properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature which is useful to people. 

What is Engineering?

It is the application of Science, Technology and Mathematics to innovate, design, develop and maintain machines, structures, software, hardware and systems & processes. Engineering field offers a range of career opportunities across all industries, which makes it one of the most sought after course pursued by students after Class XII from the Science stream. Engineers have such a mindset of taking abstract ideas and apply science and mathematics to build products to meet the needs of mankind.

Some of the Best Institutes to pursue engineering are as follows:- The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and there are also some private technical institutes such as Birla Institute of Science and Technology (BITS) Pilani.

Joint Entrance Examination – Main (JEE-Main), previously, also known as All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), is the exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India. This exam is held for those candidates who are aspiring to pursue career in the field of engineering and technical studies. Besides, the JEE Main exam is the entry to some of the prestigious engineering colleges (both government and private colleges) in India. JEE Main is conducted twice in a year, so that candidates can appear for both the attempts. First attempt is held in month of January and second attempt is in the month of April. 

After giving both the attempts, the score which is highest among both the attempts given is considered for the admission of engineering colleges. This exam is conducted in Online Mode. This exam is the gateway for engineering aspirants to all the Private Engineering colleges across India, NITs , IIITs, GFTIs, etc. JEE (Main) is also the entry for JEE (Advanced) exam which is considered as the ultimate opener for IITs across India. The syllabus for the exam is same as of std. XI + XII (NCERT text books).

JEE Advanced, also known as IIT – JEE, is the second entrance exam after JEE Main for students who are willing to take admission into IITs.  9 to 11 lakh students appear for JEE Main, every year. The candidates who appear for JEE Main, those candidates who are in top 2,50,000 rank are eligible for JEE (advanced), but out of these 2,50,000 candidates, only 46.5% are from open category and rest are from the reserved category. These 2,50,000 candidates also required to either be within the category-wise top 20th percentile of successful candidates or secure a 75% mark in the Class XII Board Examination.

JEE Advanced is held to take admission in the top institutes which are the 23 IITs across India. This exam is held once in a year and this exam is also held in online mode which has objective type questions. IITs are considered as the most elite and the finest institutions for engineering as they are reputed for their quality of engineering education, world class infrastructure & top class faculty. These institutes are the premier institutes of India conferred with the status of institutions of National importance.

Apart from the 23 IITs, Science aspirants based on JEE (advanced) ranking can also avail admissions in the following institutes across India;

» Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru

» Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), Rae Bareli

» Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) at Kolkata, Pune, Mohali, Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram

» Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram

Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) is an another exam for Engineering aspirants, which is conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education and Government of Maharashtra. This exam is for Engineering aspirants to get admission for various technical courses in engineering colleges of Maharashtra state (Govt. Engineering Colleges – 100% Seats & Pvt. Engineering  Colleges 85% Seats.) This Exam is conducted only once in the year and is conducted in Online Mode. MHT-CET exam conducted exclusively for the domicile students of Maharashtra state only.
