Top Engineering Colleges in Navi Mumbai 2025

Engineering is the process of combining science and mathematics to solve the various practical problems that we face in our daily lives, which leads to innovation of new applications and technology. It includes designing, manufacturing and maintenance of structures (roads, buildings, hardware, automobile) and applications (software), which leads to the development of the human race and the world. Engineers develop, design, evaluate, modify and conduct failure analysis of products and systems, as they are the repository of technical knowledge and skills that guide them through in finding solutions to different problems.

The six major branches in Engineering are civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, management engineering, and geotechnical engineering. These branches in engineering have various sub-branches and the basic requirement to get admitted into any of these branches or sub branches is to have basic knowledge and concepts in Physics, Chemistry and Maths as engineering is based on the foundations of these three major subjects. In fact, most of the entrance examinations that are conducted for admissions into various engineering colleges across India have physics, chemistry, and mathematics as the major portions in the syllabus.  

In India, engineering as a subject is very high in demand so much that our country has more than 10,000 colleges with engineering as its main course. Since Maharashtra is the second – most populous state in India, Mumbai has more than 70 All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) accredited engineering colleges that provide various engineering courses and specialisations for students to choose from.
