Eligibility Criteria for Engineering Courses:

You can apply for all the courses above after passing class 12 exams.
Some colleges may have their previously defined criteria for minimum marks scored in class 12 (i.e. at least 50%, 60% or 70%) in order to get admission.
Admissions are done on the basis of entrance exams such as JEE Main , JEE Advanced , BITSAT , WBJEE , GATE , etc

Since JEE Mains is the most widely accepted entrance exam for the engineering courses and colleges, JEE Mains preparation can help you secure admission in some of the top colleges offering the above courses.

Since some of these courses are new and are not provided by all the colleges, make sure that you check the accreditation of the institute before securing admission.

Are you feeling lost and unsure about what career path to take after completing 12th standard?
