Institutes of national importance, government GTU colleges and leading private universities — with the admission route for each.
Gujarat has one of India's largest technical-education networks: an IIT, an NIT, several state and private universities, and a wide network of Government Engineering Colleges (GEC) and self-financed institutes affiliated to Gujarat Technological University (GTU). Which college is "top" depends on your entrance exam, your budget and the branch you want, so this guide groups colleges by the way you actually get into them rather than publishing a single ranked list.
