Engineering

There are around 440 colleges for Production Engineering in India. Where 110 colleges accept the GATE exam scores for giving admission to the M.Tech Production Engineering course. Since the GATE exam is the top national-level entrance exam for PG courses, there is intense competition for seats at top colleges, and hence you need to work extra hard to get excellent marks and rank to grab a seat for the course. 

The Production Engineering entrance exams for admission take place at the national/state/university levels and are generally quite competitive and difficult to crack because the competition is quite high at top colleges with limited seats. The cutoffs are really high at the IITs, NITs, and other prominent colleges, so you need to work very hard and get excellent marks and rank to grab a seat.
