Our education system is structured in a way that demands hard work and excellence. It is important to get into a good university. Because your choice of University will reflect your aptitude and performance as a professional. It will become an important part of your record. It will determine the course of your career. 

So naturally, everyone wants to get into their desired university. All of the top universities in India require their students to go through a detailed selection procedure before admitting them. This procedure tests the aptitude, knowledge, and personality of the student. But most importantly, their academic merit is tested. This is because most top courses in India are extremely focused on academic excellence.  

Hence, students are held against high academic standards. The courses that most Universities offer are difficult and intensive. Students that are part of these courses need to be able to perform well in such circumstances. For the same reasons, many joint entrance exams are part of the Indian education system. They become a gateway for the students to get into the best colleges for their selected courses. They test areas like critical/ logical thinking,  English proficiency, General Knowledge, etc. They also test the student’s knowledge and skills in the particular discipline that they are applying for. Following is a list of Entrance exams in India for the most popular courses. 

• Common Entrance Exam (CET)-  Standardized Test for various courses like Engineering, Architecture, and various Graduate, Post Graduate, and Diploma courses. 
• Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design (UCEED)- Designing Entrance Exam 
• Common Law Admission Test ( CLAT) and LAWCET- Law Entrance Exam 
• JEE Main and JEE Advanced- Engineering Entrance Exams In India
• National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)- Medicine Entrance Exam in India

Aside from these joint exams, many universities conduct their own entrance exams. These are highly coveted Universities that get a large number of applicants every year. For example, IIMs, which are a chain of top colleges for management studies in India, conduct the Common Admission Test (CAT) for prospective students. All these exams will grant the student entrance into prestigious Universities like IIT, NIT, NID, ILS, etc. These Universities require scores from common entrance exams or their own entrance exams.  

For example, Engineering Entrance Exams in India like JEE, CET, etc, are based on the things that the student learned in their 10+2 curriculum. Similarly, NEET, which is the Entrance Exam for medical colleges in India, does the same for Biology.  For popular courses like Engineering and Medical, entrance exam scores are the most important criteria for admission. This is the reason that they are competitive in nature. They are difficult and test the knowledge of the candidate. These exams are considered some of the toughest to crack. They are conducted in both online and offline mediums. They include MCQs and descriptive answers. The candidate can find the application links to these exams on their official websites.

These exams are conducted on a large scale in India. India has some of the toughest exams in the world. Lakhs of students compete for a few hundred seats in the top universities. Admission into these universities can guarantee a good, successful career for the students. The number of entrance exams, colleges, applicants, procedures, etc can be quite overwhelming for the student.  The pressure for every entrance exam in India is massive.
