Engineering colleges in India are ranked by several magazines and newspapers. Colleges ranked are ones with full-time Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Technology programs.
In India, there are several engineering colleges imparting undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering, applied engineering and sciences. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, the Manipal Institute of Technology, the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Anna university ,the VIT University and University of Mumbai are the renowned and reputed institutes in the country. In total more than 5000 universities and colleges offer engineering courses.
The impulse for creation of centers of technical training came from the British rulers of India.While superintending engineers were mostly recruited from Britain, lower grades-craftsmen, artisans and sub-overseers who were recruited locally.The necessity to make them more efficient, led to the establishment of industrial schools attached to Ordnance Factories and other engineering establishments.The first engineering college was established in the U.P. in 1847 for the training of Civil Engineers at Roorkee,Thomason College(which later become IIT Roorkee) which made use of the large workshops and public buildings there that were erected for the Upper Ganges Canal.In pursuance of the Government policy, three Engineering Colleges were opened by about 1856 in the three Presidencies.
