The top engineering colleges in India accept scores from the JEE Main and JEE Advanced exams. Only a small percentage of students with the highest percentiles are shortlisted for admission. These colleges also conduct group discussions and interviews in the final rounds of selection. Some institutions accept scores from state-level exams conducted by state governments, such as TANCET.
