Top NIT Colleges In India

Like the IITs, National Institute of Technology or NIT is a group of publicly owned institutes that have been established to deliver advanced learning in the field of science and technology. More significantly, these institutions are recognized by the Indian government and even funded by them. One of the main highlights of these institutions is that they enjoy an autonomous status and each of the institutes has the authority to devise their own curriculum. In addition, they are some of the top engineering institutes in the country. At present, there are 31 NITs located in each state or territory in India.

However, it is worth mentioning that, NITs are among the premier institutes for technical studies after the IITs. More significantly, they fall into the category of top-ranked engineering colleges in India. While IITs are more popular among the aspirants, NITs also offer a high level of education and lots of career opportunities. In essence, they should not be regarded as a bad option for students.

Since 2017, in all the NITs a total number of 19,000 seats have been allocated for the undergraduate programs and around 8,050 seats have been kept open for the postgraduate programs.Β 

The current admission policy for NIT states that 50 percent of the seats are reserved for students of the particular state where the NIT is located. The other 50 percent seats are allocated based on the AIR (All India Ranks) of candidates from different states.Β
