The boom of IT sector and infrastructure in India has sky-rocketed the demand of engineers. Even though you can find engineering colleges dime a dozen inside the nation, the Indian Institutes of Technology are the very best on the breed. Just about every Indian who desires to be an engineer, dreams about joining on the list of IITs.

As of early 2009, there are actually 7 IITs functioning in their very own campus. They are IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati and IIT Roorkee. Six IITs are currently operational from short-term campuses since they began operations in 2008. They are IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Patna, IIT Punjab and IIT Rajasthan. These six IITs are at present beneath the mentorship of older IITs and operate from their campuses.

Unlike other engineering colleges, the IITs don't require to be affiliated to any university to offer degrees. That is since every institution is thought of an autonomous university by itself.

Courses Supplied:

IITs provide degree courses at Bachelor and Master level. They may be also investigation focused institutes. At the undergraduate level, the undergraduate level, each of the students get a B. Tech. degree. The certain nomenclature of degree depends upon the engineering stream chosen by the students.

Every from the IITs is well-known for particular engineering streams. Usually the students select for Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical engineering, Aerospace, and Civil engineering streams. Whereas the study courses of very first year are popular for all students, the second year onwards, their study courses are decided based on the engineering stream they have selected.

The IITs also offer an integrated degree of Master of Technologies. Master of Small business Administration course is also becoming supplied in conjunction with Master of Science. The investigation level, Physician of Philosophy is also offered by the IITs.

Admission Method:

Admission to all the IITs takes location through a centralized entrance test system. The procedure of admission to IITs is identified as the Joint Entrance Examination. On an typical, as many as 600,000 students create the JEE each year. Of those mere 5500 students are selected for these elite institutions. To seem for the JEE, the applicant should have secured 60% marks at 10 + two level with science subjects. For the reserved category, the minimum necessary percentage is 55%. Test can not be taken greater than twice and maximum age limit is 25 years (30 years for reserved categories).

Admissions in the post graduate level are created via course certain admission tests. For M. Tech courses, the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is held. For M. Sc. JAM (Joint Admission to M.Sc.) is held whereas the admission to management programs is by way of JMET (Joint Management Entrance Test).

Job Prospects:

Being the prime most engineering colleges from the nation, completing the IIT degree is by itself a job guarantee. The majority of the students get job gives by means of campus placement sessions. The students get various international job opportunities with United states primarily based companies being on the list of largest hirers of IIT alumni.

IITs are institutions where very best teachers make use of the best sources to teach the very best students of India.
