Courses & Eligibility
- Bachelor of Engineering (BE)/ Bachelor of Technology (BTech): The eligibility is class 12th with physics, chemistry and maths as the main subjects and Entrance Exam.
- The AMIE (Associate Memberships of the Institution of Engineers) offers courses, which are also equivalent to BE and B.Tech.
- Masters in Engineering (ME) or Masters in Technology M.Tech: Eligibility is BE, B Tech and entrance - Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) exam. The marks scored in this exam are valid in most colleges.
- For those who wish to study further, a Ph.D. in engineering can be pursued.
- Admission in engineering colleges in India is highly competitive and one has to write JEE MAIN 2013 Exam for admission in IITs, NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other centrally funded institutions (CFTIs). The merit list for admission to NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other CFTIs will be prepared by giving 40% weightage (suitably normalized) to class XII (or equivalent examination) or other qualifying examination marks and 60% to the performance in JEE (Main) examination. Only 1,50,000 of the top rankers in JEE (Main), which includes students from all categories (GE, OBC (NCL), SC and ST) will be eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced)-2013 for admission to IITs, IIT BHU and ISM Dhanbad.
Course Fee
The 4 years course in Engineering from an IIT will cost about Rs.2 lakhs. There are a number of scholarships, fee waivers and loans available for those who are unable to fund the education. Apart from this, in most colleges the students can earn a small amount while working on a research project with the professors in their college and this can also help funding the course. The fee in other private colleges is different, ranging from about Rs.40,000 per year to about Rs.70,000 per year.
