Not everybody cracks IITs, NITs or IIITs. The left over brilliance doesn’t vanish, thanks to the excellent private engineering institutions available to the students.
Since, no student would want anything less than the best, we, at 100marks, bring to you the top private engineering colleges, you can opt for pursuing further education.
Here we did not rely on just one source of rankings. It was important to us that the rankings be recent, and be reliable. We studied the rankings for engineering colleges from DataQuest (2015 & 2014), Outlook rankings (2012 & 2014) rankings from Edu Rand (2015) as well as several other academic authorities.
Here is our list of rankings!
