Career opportunities for engineering graduates have always been good. With liberalization of the economy and opening of new companies and sectors, an engineering graduate can start his career on good footing immediately after graduation.
The Joint Entrance Examination conducted to gain admission to Indian Institute of Technology ( IIT ) is one of the toughest and most sought after examination. Every year several lakhs of students appear in the test and only a few thousand manage to scrape through. Apart from this many good institutes like NITs ( National Institute of Technology ) accept score of AIEEE ( All India Engineering Entrance Exam ). Other than that BITS has its own entrance exam which is online. Finally every state conducts its own test for the respective located colleges.
MP ( Madhya Pradesh ) is one of the popular hubs for engineering studies. Pre Engineering Test ( PET ) is conducted every year by Professional Examination Board ( PEB ), Bhopal, and Madhya Pradesh. The examination is conducted for admission in any of the engineering colleges of the state of MP such as Government Engineering Colleges; Private Engineering Colleges; Autonomous Institutions and MP quota seats in National Institute of Technology. On the basis of Pre Engineering Test ( PET ) merit ranking, intakes into the different engineering degree programs ( B. E / B. Arch. / B. Tech ) in top engineering colleges of MP are done.
There are various other colleges which are there in a particular state. The Top ten engineering colleges in MP are:
