The Engineering College follows the relevant technical-education regulatory and university requirements. Since the group contains multiple independent institutions, accreditation, approval and recognition details should be considered separately for each college rather than treating the entire group as one institution. A consolidated current national ranking for the group was not identified from the official sources reviewed.
