India's best colleges in engineering

Top 10 colleges in Engineering:
  • IIT -Kanpur
  • IIT - Delhi
  • IIT - Chennai (Madras)
  • IIT - Kharagpur
  • IIT - Mumbai
  • IIT - Roorkhee
  • IIT -Guwahati
  • National Institute of Technology, Suratthkal

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have excelled as the centres of technical learning for decades and this year too, they occupy seven slots in the list of Top 10 engineering colleges in the country. This year, IIT-Kanpur gained two positions to be on the top, nudging last year's leader IIT-Delhi into the second slot.

True to its motto of "lead me from darkness to light", IIT-Kanpur has become synonymous with the word excellence in technical education. It started in a room in the Canteen Building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur with just 100 students, but today, in its golden jubilee year, it has 4,500 students with the student-teacher ratio being 10:1.

In affirmation of its commitment to excellence are its mechanical and nuclear engineering and technology departments which were instrumental in designing Jugnu, a 3.5-kg nanosatellite, which was handed over to the ISRO in March this year. Director Sanjay G. Dhande calls these successes a result of the institute's passion to excel in the field of teaching, research and innovation.
