Top engineering entrance exams in India

Engineering colleges take entrance exams before taking admission in their respected courses, pupils need to secure a good rank for getting good colleges and branches. In this article, we dealt with the topmost entrance tests for pursuing a diploma in engineering(Polytechnic), Undergraduate(BE/B Tech) and post-graduate(ME/M Tech) courses in engineering.

In India, pursuing engineering is one of the prior options for most students. Some students start to follow this course after their matriculation, and the rest chooses science in their intermediate. Both the options are good in their perspective, and take a similar time to complete the b-tech.

Several courses in engineering include

1. 1. Polytechnic (Diploma),
   2. BE/B-tech (UG),
   3. M-tech (PG)

1. Polytechnic entrance exam

Those pupils who are willing to pursue engineering courses after 10^th  could pursue Polytechnic. This is a 3-years diploma course for 10^th pass out, and 2 years for an intermediate, includes 6 semesters and 4 semesters respectively. Students need to appear for the entrance examination to get admission in the polytechnic colleges, some of the important polytechnic entrance exam are as follows:-

• • APJEE ( Arunachal Pradesh)
