9 States With Maximum Engineering Colleges and Their Placement Analysis

However, if you have set your eye on the prize and are motivated to get the best qualification and score a good job opportunity, you must know which is the best college for your engineering qualification. For this very reason, Careers360 undertakes various studies to deconstruct the complex and vast data and present it in a simplified informative article.

In this article, Careers360 has analysed and discussed nine states which NIRF ranked as having the maximum number of engineering colleges. These states also feature as having the highest number of “ranked” colleges. Let us try to understand how each of these nine states fared in terms of graduates who accepted placements and those who went for further studies.

NIRF, which conducts annual ranking for educational institutions across India, in 2023 ranked a total of 100 engineering institutes.

Out of these 100, 15 engineering colleges, the highest number are from Tamil Nadu (TN), Karnataka, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh has seven colleges each, next in line are Punjab and Telangana with six colleges each and finally with five colleges each in Maharashtra, Odisha and Rajasthan. Other than these the remaining 36 colleges from 27 states are not considered in this study as our article is focused on top states with the highest number of colleges ranked in NIRF 2023.

The table below gives you a clear idea on the nine states, the number of students graduating, placed and those who chose higher studies in 2021-22.
