Private Engineering Colleges In India For NRIs

It’s a dream for most NRI Students (engineering & architecture aspirants) to on-board the top-tier engineering colleges like IIT, NITs, SPAs and CFTIs of India.

It seems easy to get admission in India, but indeed admitting in the top-tier engineering colleges isn’t a cakewalk. NRI students have to work extremely hard to compete to take admission in such colleges.

Private Engineering Colleges in India for NRIs

This list of private engineering colleges in India might be useful for NRI Students if you fail to get admission in IITs (via JEE Advanced) and NITs, SPAs, IIITs & CFIs (via DASA). Indeed, most NRIs aren’t keen about the private ones as the fee is immense under NRI Quota (in few colleges).
