- Colleges functioning under State Government
Self Financed colleges are usually run by trusts, education societies etc. Some SF colleges have the status of ‘Deemed University’.
Based on the above mentioned types of colleges, engineering entrance exams in India can be classified into the following types –
- National level exams
