Hi, welcome back to CETMATRIX Blog after a long break and today I am going to talk about ABET accredited engineering programs in india

I am sure most of you who have appeared for JEE entrance examination are in the process of finalizing the engineering college or might even shortlisted one. In this post, I am going to talk about those colleges or universities which are worth applying for engineering programs.

ABET or Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology is an accreditation body based out of USA for engineering programs. ABET is recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation, USA. ABET accredits programs in applied and natural sciences, computing, engineering and engineering technology.

If you see ABET as an accreditation body, it accredits over 4000 programs in around 800 universities spread across 32 nations.

Now, we will see the real importance of ABET accreditation.  ABET accreditation is important mainly for attaining your PE license for getting PE or Professional Engineer license  you HAVE to have an ABET-accredited degree. Well you can apply for PE by getting your credentials evaluated by NCEES but having an ABET accredited degree is the best way.

Professional Engineer (PE) is an engineer licensed by a state board of registration to practice engineering. In USA Only a licensed PE engineer may prepare, sign and seal, and submit engineering plans and drawings to a public authority for approval, or seal engineering work for public and private clients.

As far as employment outlook is considered, a PE signals your ability to take on a higher level of responsibility. Well in this video, we are not going to cover how to become a PE and will cover the same in different post.

So, we will move to the universities offering ABET accredited engineering programs. It is also to be noted that accreditations in USA are totally voluntarily process and not having accreditations doesn’t make any engineering college less desirable.

So lets see all the accredited engineering programs in India.
