 This blog post for engineering aspirants in India follows an earlier blog article on Entrance Exams for Indian Engineering colleges titled: Admission Process for Best Engineering Colleges in India, which not only gives you the lists of 75 best engineering colleges in India, but also tells you what is the admission process/entrance exam for these very good engineering colleges.
While compiling the list of the entrance exams for these colleges, I had told you that you should try to appear in as many entrance exam as possible - as no one can assure you that best engineering college / stream seat, till the result is declared and counselling is over.
Therefore to help you in making your decision which engineering entrance exam to go for, I had analysed and compiled the exam dates of all the major engineering entrance exams in India. The result is as below:
List of engineering entrance exams of which the exam dates for the year 2010 has already been announced:  As you can see above, excepting SUCEE, entrance exam dates for all the Institute-specific engineering entrance exams - 2010 have been announced.
List of engineering entrance exams of which the exam dates for the year 2010 has not been announced so far:  As you can find above, all of these are Common Entrance exams conducted by states - no wonder that is why the exam dates for the year 2010 has not been announced so far. They are likely to be held more or less around the exam date of the year 2009.
From above engineering entrance exam list, you can find that there are broadly two categories of entrance exams - Institute-specific & State-specific. For appearing in state-specific entrance exams, you need to have studied in that state. You can find more about the eligibilities by going to the state common entrance test links posted at the end.
So from the exam date schedules given above for the engineering entrance exams, I would advise you to appear in AIEEE (if you think IIT JEE is too tough for you!) as well as appear in the state-specific common entrance test. COMEDK is another good option, as it is open to all Indian students and the merit required is also not so high.
Based on above tips, choose your own exam and find more info about it from the links of the Engineering College Entrance Exams given below:
Best wishes for an engineering career! I would post more info on Engineering Entrance Exam as and when I spot them. So keep visiting this blog! Labels: Entrance Exam |

Admission Process for Best Engineering Colleges in India
|
|
December 19, 2009

 Students aspiring for a career in engineering are in a dilemma at many of the times – which engineering colleges to go for and what are the admission processes for these colleges? This blog post is dedicated to these students (as well as to their parents/guardians to guide them).
At first let me tell you that the term “Best College” is always so controversial – the surveys for ranking the colleges are done by many organisations and the methodologies used by them also vary from one to another. However, we can safely conclude that among the top-rung colleges, the rankings itself would not differ that much – since the good colleges are always good, regardless of whether they occupies rank 1st or 75th.
Therefore, I narrowed down my search for the best engineering colleges to the ranking done by Outlook-GFK-Mode Survey-2009, which had published a list of top-75 engineering colleges in India in June 2009. You can find the survey statistics along with the methodology here.
What are the admission process/name of the entrance exam for these 75 best engineering colleges in India? I had a hard time finding the answer to this question, as websites of many of these best engineering colleges either does not have an “Admission” section or “Admission” section is poorly maintained with little information. You can find the list of these 75 best engineering colleges below, along with the name of the entrance exams. You can visit the admission section of the college websites directly by clicking on the name of these engineering colleges.
In the college list, you would find name of more than one entrance exam for some of the engineering colleges – the reason being that certain percentage of admission is done on the basis of one engineering entrance exam, while the rest are done through another entrance exam/based on merit. For instance, in Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), 15% seats are admitted for outside-Delhi Region candidates through AIEEE, while remaining 85% seats for Delhi Region candidates is done through CEE, Delhi. Also (G) denotes Govt. college while (P) stands for Private colleges.

Hope above information on admission process/entrance exam for the best engineering colleges in India helps you in making an informed choice on which entrance exam/engineering college to go for.
However, I feel that you should take a holistic approach while appearing in engineering entrance exam – you should prepare for and appear in as many entrance exams as possible, as all of these entrance exams uses the same three subject papers: Physics, Chemistry & Maths, in varying degree of difficulty. In a future blog post, I would cover how to do it: Engineering Entrance Exam List with exam dates. Labels: Entrance Exam |

BITSAT 2010 Cut-off: Institute-wise/Stream-wise
|
|
December 03, 2009
|
|
|
|
 How much do you need to score (i.e. the cut off) to get a seat in BITS Pilani or for that matter BITS Goa or BITS Hyderabad? This is the most asked question by any one who plans to appear in the BITSAT – the entrance exam to these three BITS institutes. Also after you have appeared in the exam, the question which automatically comes is: If my score is “X”, which streams would I get in this BITS institute?
This blog post focuses on answering these questions – with past data on BITSAT cut-off scores (from BITSAT 2009-2007) vis-à-vis BITS Institutes vis-à-vis Streams.
If BITSAT sounds strange to you, you may go through my previous blog post titled: BITSAT 2011 Notification, Eligibility & Forms, which introduces you to BITSAT and tells you when BITSAT 2010 notification is coming out, where to find it, what are the eligibilities for BITSAT 2010 as well as how to find those application forms.
At first let me tell you, none can tell you the cut-off score for the BITSAT 2010 for sure, till the examination is over and the result is declared. BITSAT 2010 cut-off score for any BITS institute or for any stream would depend on the relative performance of all the students who appear in BITSAT-2010.
But you can always have some idea based on past BITSAT cut-offs. And I present this to you to make your own judgment in two ways: 1.0 Institute-wise/Stream-wise BITSAT cut-offs: This would give you some idea about the cut-off scores required to get a specific stream in a specific institute. 2.0 BITSAT cut-offs wise Institute/Streams: This would give you the idea – if you score this much, which institute/stream you can expect.
1.0 Institute-wise/Stream-wise BITSAT cut-offs: BITSAT cut-off scores for BITS Pilani (from BITSAT -2006 to BITSAT-2008):  BITSAT cut-off scores for BITS Goa (from BITSAT -2008 to BITSAT-2007):  BITSAT cut-off scores for BITS Hyderabad (in BITSAT-2008):  You can make your own judgments from above data. I find that for the same branch, BITS Pilani needs the highest BITSAT score, followed by BITS Goa and than by BITS Hyderabad. Also, in the same institute B.E needs higher BITSAT scores than M.Sc.
2.0 BITSAT cut-offs wise Institute/Streams: Following cluster-wise data from BITSAT-2008 tells you, if you score (say from 275-299), which institute/stream you can expect:
Institute/Streams for BITSAT score 350-300: Institute/Streams for BITSAT score 299-275:  Institute/Streams for BITSAT score 274-250: 
Institute/Streams for BITSAT score 249 and less: 
No of Candidates with score >= 400:54 No of Candidates with score >= 350:700 No of Candidates with score >= 300:3892 No of Candidates with score >= 250: 12799 No of Candidates with Score >= 240:15379 No of Candidates with Score >= 225:19640
There are 2000 BITS seats (800:Pilani, 600:Goa & 600:Hyderabad). So with above BITSAT score analysis, you can guess the BITSAT-2010 cut-off scores! Labels: BITSAT |
