There are many reasons that direct students to study engineering abroad. Western countries usually offer well-rounded education while giving access to the

latest innovations and research facilities.

While an increasing number of students are exploring fresh subjects to study in an university abroad, engineering among other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects, is still the reigning choice among majority of the students. According to an open doors report, around two-thirds of the international students in USA are studying STEM subjects.

Not just in USA, engineering is a popular field of study in most countries across the world. Here we bring you the best engineering colleges in the world with a comprehensive pro-file and application mechanism of all the top ten engineering colleges.

Every country has its own set of rules for admission but some are common across the board. The basic criteria for

IntroduCtIon

admission abroad generally are –

F Completion of the high school equivalent of the country you are applying to; this could be CBSE class 12th, the A levels, the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme or any other system recognized in India. A strong academic record is of primary importance for admission to a pres-tigious programmeme.

F Proficiency in English, which is often demonstrated by taking one of the standardized language proficiency tests such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Lan-guage), IELTS (International English Language Testing System), etc.

F Most engineering programmes assume that you have stud-ied Mathematics in all four years of high school; for some countries and programmes therein, it is also important that you have taken Physics and/ or Chemistry for this time period too. However, it is not unusual for a com-merce student from India to opt for an undergraduate

programme in Computer Science in the United States.

F A large number of schools abroad require students to take standardized tests like the SAT I and SAT II subject tests to be eligible for applying to the programme. Most top programmes in the US require the results of the SAT I and SAT II Subject tests.

F While making an admission decisions, a number of schools also give weightage to a student’s extra-curricular

achievements. However, in almost no school does this substitute for academic preparation.

F In some countries, the minimum age for applicants to degree programmes is 18 years.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has retained its position in the first place among the Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World. The

ranking, which takes into account three ranking platforms, namely, Times Higher Education (THE), QS and ARWU is based on major yardsticks- i.e teaching, research, Industry income, Citations and international outlook while ranking the Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World 2014.

According to THE World University Ranking 2014, Stan-ford University, University of California, Berkeley; Caltech and Princeton University follow MIT as the best engineer-ing colleges in the World. While, QS brings in Cambridge University and ETH Zürich in the third and fourth position.

In the Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World 2014, ARWU takes in citations as one of the major yardsticks and hence ranks University of Illinois and University of Texas

among the top 5.

The USA dominates the list of the World’s Top 100 Engi-neering Colleges with universities. Interestingly, most of the top five spots are captured by American universities .Other countries that feature in the list are United Kingdom, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Australia and so on. While US and UK maintain a stronghold on the ranking list, Germany is among the best represented country.

In terms of International Outlook, however, the United Kingdom scores above the US. Most UK universities ranked by THE carry scores more than 85 which more than MIT’s score of 76.4. International Outlook focuses on the diver-sity in the campus and collaboration with international researches on projects. This category reflects how global an institution is.
