Exploring Educational Options Beyond Repeating JEE Main – Alternative Pathways to Consider
Apart from the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main, many engineering entrance tests in India offer pathways to prestigious engineering institutes.
Engineering remains a top choice for career-minded students in India, with many aiming for the elite IITs through rigorous preparation for the JEE Main & Advanced exams.
Nonetheless, various national and state-level engineering entrance tests also provide access to premier engineering colleges, some of which surpass the lower-ranked NITs.
With many engineering entrance examinations held annually, let’s explore key exams that open doors to BTech programs.
