Engineering is a popular discipline amongst science students (Students who have chosen Science stream in their 10+2). Those students who have chosen engineering as a subject of study should have a sound base on Science and Mathematics because Engineering is basically applying science, technology, and Mathematics to innovate, design, and develop complex machines, structures, software, hardware, systems, and processes. Here we are going to discuss engineering colleges in Northeast India.
There are various disciplines of study in engineering. Some of the popular engineering disciplines are Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer-Science Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Electronics Engineering.
Engineering is the third major stream with 37.70 lakh students enrolled at the undergraduate level, where the share of the male student enrolled in the subject is 71.1 percent and female enrollment is 28.9 percent. This survey is done by the All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) powered by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), 2018-19.
