Karnataka is the southern state of India which is considered as the IT hub of India. All thanks to Bangalore, The capital city of Karnataka and IT highway of India. Today, Bangalore is called the “Silicon Valley of India”. This is due to the increased number of IT companies in the City.

Since the 90s era, Bangalore became a budding place for a lot of IT companies like Infosys, Wipro and small start-ups. Today, these have become giant MNCs ruling the IT revolution across the globe. Today, Bangalore is the tech capital of India and World. Every IT MNC company has its strong presence in Bangalore. Many surveys claim that nearly half of the IT employees are hired from Bangalore, marking its presence in the global IT map.

The IT development in Karnataka boosted the number of engineering colleges in the state. Many engineering colleges came up with different engineering courses and proliferated across the state. Every college is competing with each other to provide quality education for students. Along with this all the colleges are trying to increase their industry networking capacities to provide 100% placement assistance for all their students.

The ranking of the colleges has been a challenge and it mainly depends on various factors with no common parameter in place to measure. In many cases the overall performance of the colleges is considered in order to rank them.  There are many surveys which claim to provide best rankings based on various factors. But there are always rising questions when it comes to the factors that are considered. Some of their parameters may not be a right gauge to rank the colleges. So, it is always debatable when it comes to ranking of colleges.
