Here are the number of engineering colleges in India

Engineering is the most regarded profession among all millennials, but rising unemployment rates across the country forced several colleges to close their doors, resulting in a steady reduction in the number of engineering students. However, there are numerous large initiatives taking place around the country to raise awareness and rekindle interest in engineering among new generations in order to reclaim lost ground in technological fields.


The available number of engineering colleges in India may pique your interest based on current student numbers in such colleges, as a recent survey revealed that a large number of student seats are vacant, and dreaming students have shifted their focus to other fields such as commerce, medicine, entertainment, and more.


However, we rounded up the numbers of engineering colleges as per a recent report data available at updated official sites linked to the government sector. Some of them are categorized as:


  • Maharashtra: 767 engineering colleges


  • Tamil Nadu: 552 engineering colleges


  • Uttar Pradesh: 382 engineering colleges


  • Andhra Pradesh: 343 engineering colleges


  • Karnataka: 398 engineering colleges


  • Telangana: 260 engineering colleges


  • Madhya Pradesh: 246 engineering colleges


  • Gujarat: 200 engineering colleges


  • Haryana: 181 engineering colleges



India, on the other hand, has 28 states and 8 union territories with approximately 3500 engineering institutions, all of which have hostels, additional coaching classes, and security. By organising social and cultural events following each difficult examination, they are all fostering a positive environment for student skill development, social and communicational development, and the development of personalities in all students.


However, more than 550 engineering colleges in India have recently closed, which is not a good omen for the national engineering industry. Due to frequent invasions of Chinese technology items and fierce competition with their market sector, many government and non-governmental organisations are battling to provide better jobs to hundreds of thousands of top-ranked students across the country.
