Top Engineering Colleges in Tamilnadu 2013

This year Careers360 has rated the 443 top engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu under the categories of AAAA, AAA+, AAA, AA+, AA, A+, A and A-. A total number of 3217 engineering colleges were considered for the Careers360 Engineering College Rating 2013 out of approximately 3600 engineering colleges which exist in India

Perceived as one of the most “technically powerful knowledge States” in the country, Tamil Nadu has a distinct advantage in terms of a sizeable population of skilled manpower. The State is home to India’s first engineering college at Guindy since 1857. In 2012, the most sought after engineering branches were Electronics and Communication, and Mechanical. The cut-off score across branches indicate a down slide in the demand for Information Technology and Computer Science disciplines as compared to last few years. Institutes offer courses in lesser known disciplines such as Marine, Aeronautical Engineering, Textile and Petrochemical Technology. A key feature is the phenomenal growth over the last five years in the number of private deemed universities that offer engineering degrees.
