Top IITs that offer B.Tech ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) |
|
All the top levels of engineering colleges allow admission through some entrance test. It can be through a common entrance test conducted by the government body or through entrance tests conducted by the college itself. Following are some of the common entrance tests accepted by 90% of the colleges in India:
There are many colleges in India who take admission without an admission test or common entrance examination. They either generate a merit list based on which student can directly apply for the admission or some colleges take admission on a first come first serve basis.
Students should shortlist their colleges and check their admission process to avoid missing the last date of application form.
