Preparing for engineering entrances

[vaishakh]

i am preparing for engineering entrances and is not much knowledged in the subject. at present i am preparinfg for the IIT- JEE entrance exam in India. i have heard about the nuclear engineering and is intersted in the subject. i want to know the prestigious institutes in insia which provide education on nuclear engineering. i also want to know about entrance tests to enter there.

I would recommend contacting someone at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, and ask them for recommendations on Nuclear Engineering programs.

Otherwise, check out -

Dept of Mechanical Engg, IIT Bombay - http://www.me.iitb.ac.in/

The Mechanical Engineering Dept at IIT Bombay is one of the largest in terms of faculty, students, and activities, continues to lead and expand its activities in various directions. The Department is known for research and projects in robotics, fluid dynamics, heat pumps, cryogenics, nuclear engineering, fracture mechanics, . . .

http://mech.iitm.ac.in/people/faculty/saritdas.html - Dr. Sarit Kumar Das apparently has experience in nuclear engineering.

IIT Kanpur (http://www.iitk.ac.in/) offers advanced Interdisciplinary Degree Programs

M.Tech
Materials Science Programme
Nuclear Engineering & Technology

Ph.D
Materials Science Programme
Nuclear Engineering & Technology

But it is not clear about undergraduate programs. Possibly, one would obtain bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering - http://www.iitk.ac.in/mech/.

Hi there,

I'm also preparing for engineering entrance exams and I understand your struggle with not being very knowledgeable in the subject. The IIT-JEE is definitely a tough exam, but with hard work and dedication, I'm sure we can both do well.

As for your interest in nuclear engineering, that's great! It's a fascinating field with a lot of potential for growth and development. In India, some of the prestigious institutes for nuclear engineering are the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras.

To get into these institutes, you will need to clear the JEE Advanced exam, which is the second stage of the IIT-JEE exam. Additionally, some of these institutes may also have their own entrance tests for specific engineering branches, so it's important to do your research and prepare accordingly.

I wish you all the best in your preparations and hope you achieve your goal of studying nuclear engineering at a prestigious institute in India. Don't forget to stay focused and keep working hard. Good luck!
