Comprehensive List of engineering entrance exams in India

Engineering is a very popular career choice among Indian students. Admissions to engineering colleges are usually via entrance examinations that are held at national, state and college levels. However, even before this stage, it is imperative to know about the engineering entrance exams that are conducted every year by different university, consortiums and autonomous colleges.

The eligibility criterion for appearing for engineering entrance exams is a Class 12 or equivalent grade from a recognized school or college with English, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as part of the elective subjects. If candidates want to pursue an engineering course in Biotechnology, then Biology should also be part of the elective subjects in Class 11 and 12 or its equivalent.  Many times, students who have secured a diploma course in any technology or engineering subject are also eligible to appear for these entrance exams.

The general exam pattern for all entrance exams for admission to undergraduate engineering course usually consists of papers in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with the syllabus covered being the same or similar to that covered in Class 12 of CBSE, ICSE or of any State board.  Knowledge of Biology is tested for Biotech courses. The test format is normally in the objective question type. It is critical to know that many entrance exams have negative markings for wrong answers.

Before applying for the entrance exams, it is important that candidates make sure that they are eligible to apply. There are many state level examinations which require candidates to have domicile status to apply under the state’s quota. Application is normally allowed in both offline and online modes with registration payments either done through online payment options or via a Demand Draft.

Here is a fairly long list that could help you get started:

It primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology.

Over the last few years, the number of GATE aspirants has been increasing at a rapid pace. In the last 5 years, it has more than quadrupled from 1.8 lakh applicants in 2008 to 7.7 lakh applicants in 2012 and 12 lakh applicants in 2013.

Paper Pattern

GATE 2013 was a 3 hour exam with 65 questions (30 one-mark questions and 35 two-mark questions) summing up to 100 marks with questions from core subjects, engineering math and general aptitude. Questions from the core engineering subjects far outweigh the other 2 areas with 70% weight age. The off-line exams had only multiple choice type questions. But, online mode exams had both numerical answer questions and multiple choice questions.

Questions in GATE exam test the applicants' grip on basic concepts and the ability to apply them in problems. As per the IIT notification, broadly, they can be categorized in to four types – recall, comprehension, application and Analysis & Synthesis. Most of the recall based questions will be in the one mark category. Thorough knowledge of fundamentals and extensive practice are the only two factors that can bring success in GATE. candidates should plan their preparation strategically, by attempting previous papers and analyzing the weight ages for various topics. Also, aspirants should spend time in solving old GATE papers and also analyze the relative weight ages for various topics across the years. This will help in planning the preparation optimally.
