Industrial Engineering

The time needed to prepare for the Industrial Engineering entrance exams cannot be said with any certainty and rather depends on the specific exam difficulty level that you're planning to appear for. Generally, you should start your preparation at least 6 to 8 months before the final exam is scheduled to take place so that you have enough time in hand to cover the entire syllabus, have a look at last years' question papers, practice mock tests, and plan your revision in the last 1-2 months.

You do have some interesting options for Industrial Engineering courses and certifications online, which are affordable and convenient for you to complete at your own pace. Here is a list:
