Engineering in general terms can be defined as the application of maths and science to solve general and technical problems. Engineers are responsible for designing, development, and maintenance of various types of machines, equipment, chemicals, structures and various other types of infrastructure assets. The steady growth in economy, industrialisation and advancement in technology have made engineering one of the most demanding courses that is pursued by students after completing higher senior secondary level education, especially those who have passed class 12th in Science stream.

Candidates who have passed +2 examination or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as core papers from a recognised board in India are eligible to get enrolled in engineering courses in their bachelors. Since Engineering as a field of study has over 100 specialisations, students who are inclined towards a particular branch or specialisation in Engineering like Computer Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, etc. can also apply for the same. After completing the bachelors programme in engineering (BE or BTech), candidates who wish to continue their academics in the same field can apply for Masters programme in Engineering (ME or MTech).
