The criteria for admission in these universities vary from one another depending on the type of branch of engineering. All this information can be found in their prospectus or on their website.

Those who get admission in engineering study programs aim to be practical. They apply their knowledge of science, mathematics, economics and social to construct new ideas and features for the advancement of technology and systems of an organization. They find innovative ways to deal with electrical equipment in order to help mankind and build a futuristic society. These engineers also enhance the operation of machinery in the industries to increase the yield of products and aid the country on the path of development.

Engineering is a vast degree comprising of a variety of disciplines. A person can specialize in any of the four major fields of engineering which include, Civil Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering.
