Overview: About Engineering Entrance Preparation

The Institute of Engineering administers T.U. entrance exams (IOE). The universities themselves administer the entrance tests for the other universities.

Eligibility Criteria to appear in the Entrance examination:

• Candidates must pass +2 
• Equivalent exam from the Higher Secondary Education Board (HSEB)
• Obtain a minimum of 40-45% in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics
• Completed required documentation

Exam Format & Subject Matter:

The majority of engineering entrance exams contain multiple papers. Most of the exam paper is divided into questions on physics, chemistry, English, and mathematics, as well as general knowledge sections in some universities. This paper's primary goal is to assess students' understanding of concepts in physics, maths, chemistry, English, and mechanics. 

Engineering entrance exams assess students' understanding of concepts in physics, maths, chemistry, English, and mechanics. The paper uses a variety of patterns to assess the student's abilities. Questions include objective-type questions, statements and reasons, understanding, and a subjective pattern.
