The most top-rated institutions are the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Anna University, Banaras Hindu University, among others. Admission to these universities is offered based on national, state and university level examination.

With several private and government colleges in India offering courses in multiple disciplines, finding the right college that meets all the requirements becomes a challenging task for students. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational institutes are opting for the online method of teaching. Students gearing up to choose the best possible college need to consider the technological and digital infrastructure of the institute of their choice before enrolling for their preferred course.
