After completing Class 12 from the science stream, a student interested in automobile engineering can opt for a BE or BTech in automobile engineering. To hire engineers, companies would first look at the IITs and the NITs (National Institutes of Technology). The Madras Institute of Technology in Chennai stands out among the many institutes in the south. A number of smaller institutions offer BE/BTech degrees in automobile engineering as well. An aspirant needs to use some filters to decide which one to go for. A student should look up the institute website - if it doesn’t have one, that’s a bad sign - and see if it has the required information about the course and admission criteria. Does it list the faculty members and their qualifications, does the college have publications, projects, collaborative projects, funding from the government? Cross-check the reputation of college, find out how the alumni are doing. Do some research before taking admission in these institutes.
