ATIT

Exam Description:

National level engineering entrance exams like the AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) and IIT JEE (Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination) are the most popular engineering entrance exams in India. Besides, engineering entrance tests are held every year by various states and universities for admission to BE (Bachelor of engineering), B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) and B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture) courses.

The All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) is an engineering entrance test conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India. This national level engineering entrance examination is meant for admission to various under-graduate engineering and architecture courses in engineering colleges that accept the AIEEE score, including 20 prestigious NITs. Students who wish to opt for B.Tech are tested in physics, mathematics and chemistry.

The Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) is an annual engineering entrance examination conducted by Indian Institute of Technology. About 15 engineering institutes in India solely depend on JEE scores for admission to their undergraduate programs.

The various details for engineering entrance exams 2012 are given below. It includes fees for the engineering entrance exam 2012, date for the engineering entrance tests etc.
