The search for the best private engineering colleges in India is a tough one if you do not have a plan in place. Even if you take a smaller geographical area and start listing out the top engineering colleges in Karnataka, one is bound to be flummoxed soon. But there are ways to not get confused and find the best ones out there for you.
One should always start by understanding what they want to do in terms of the subject. This specialisation of the subject of your engineering stream should be as per the subject you like and not as per what your peers or advisors suggest. If you love to take apart things and put them together maybe mechanical engineering might be good for you. If the flight mechanics of birds intrigue you then maybe aerospace might be better. So on and so forth. But this decision should be your own without any external proddings.
Many private colleges like the Alliance College of Engineering and Design provide courses that are traditional like civil engineering and mechanical engineering. While they also have some of the futuristic courses like computer science and engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, electronics and communication engineering and information technology.
The next step in your choice should be to find out which colleges will suit you as per the type of degree they offer, their location in terms of urban or rural, distance from your residence, government or private owned, living costs and tuition costs, class size, reputation of the college, availability of scholarships and financial aid, placement records, campus resources, diversity of the student community, social life as well as the past performance of the department.
The final step in this search for the best private engineering colleges in India should be a ranking system of your own device. Maybe give them all marks as per your perception to each college in each category above and bifurcate them into three groups.
The first group should contain the top engineering colleges in Karnataka which are difficult to get into. The second should be much easier in terms of admission while the third group is a sure shot in terms of admission but you do not mind spending a few years there.
