The top tier comprises 23 IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology), 31 NITs (National Institutes of Technology), 25 IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology), and BITS Pilani (3 campuses). Private universities like Manipal MIT, VIT Vellore, Thapar, Amrita, SRM Chennai, and DTU/NSUT Delhi also rank highly. Admission to IITs is through JEE Advanced (top 2.5L scorers from JEE Main qualify); NITs and IIITs through JEE Main + JoSAA counselling; BITS Pilani through its own BITSAT exam. State engineering colleges have separate state-level entrance tests (KCET, COMEDK, MHT-CET, WBJEE, AP EAMCET, TS EAMCET, GUJCET, etc.). This page presents the top engineering colleges across India sorted by NIRF rank, with verified branch-wise data from official sources.
