Best Non-IIT and NIT Engineering Institutes in India: When people talk about the best engineering institutes in India, the only names that come to mind are IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), NIT (National Institute of Technology), and IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology). There is a very rare percentage of people who know the top engineering colleges in India other than IITs, NITs, and IIITs. Students who prepare for JEE aim to get into these three categories of institutes and consider others as secondary. But when we compare the applicant-to-seat ratio, the number does not match, and many students fail to get into IITs, NITs, and IIITs. For those who are willing to consider other options for the best engineering colleges in India, here are a few options.
This article will provide a list of the top 10 engineering colleges in India other than IIT, NIT, and IIIT, which are not less than these in terms of NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) ranking and score. Check out the list here.
