Hello there,

while choosing engineering colleges the following things should be checked:

Reputation : This is very integral part of selection of college. The brand name of the college plays a major role in placement as well as alumni network is like icing on the cake.

Placement: Placement is one of the most important factors to be checked by a candidate before taking admission. It can be checked on the official website of the institute, news and media channel websites and the social networking sites.

Accreditation & Affiliations: Before getting admitted to any college in India, the accreditations and affiliations for the engineering colleges must be properly checked. For the courses in institutions the accreditation is given by the AICTE. Moreover course affiliations for an institute must be checked. Every institute is affiliated to a university and the degrees provided by the institute are of the university.

Number and quality of full time faculties: It is very important to check that how much number of full time faculties is there in the institute as if the number of full time faculties is less than there will be very hindrances in the course completion. Quality of faculty must also be checked as on the grounds like teaching experience, degree of the professor etc.

curriculum: Curriculum means the number of different courses and the number of specializations in a particular course at the institute. A large number of courses means a better facility for a student to choose a course as per his/her choice.

Certifications: NAAC and NBA are the agencies in India which provide category certifications to an institute, like IITs and NITS come under A/A+ category. If any institute is claiming any such type of certifications then it must be checked on the official websites of these agencies. Along with this companies also provide certifications to the institute which also increase the reputation of an engineering college.

Hope this helps.

GOOD LUCK!!
