IIT Kharagpur

Indian Institute(s) of Technology are the elite colleges for engineering in the country. Like the Ivy League Colleges in the US, IITs are the top tier of the colleges in India. IITs are again divided into two subgroups, the new and the old IITs. The older IITs are generally considered better as compared to the newer ones. Some of the older IITs include IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur etc. All the IITs select their students based on their rank in the JEE. It is extremely difficult to get into these institutes, but once you are into these elite institutes, your future as an engineer is secure.
