Top 5 Engineering Courses and Colleges in Kerala (2015)

In 2012 we discussed about top courses and colleges top KEAM rankers choose. Several new colleges have started in Kerala since 2012.  So we decided to check what are the top Courses and Colleges in Kerala based on 2015 allotment results. We have also put together a quick aptitude test (not scientific) to help you choose engineering course.

It is interesting to note that regardless of the the branch selected by KEAM candidates more than 75% land up in a IT/Software job. See the detail discussion of placement statistics here.

Summary: 
  • Top 5 colleges in Kerala: 
    • College of Engineering, Trivandrum (TVE)
    • Govt. Engineering College, Thrissur (TCR)
    • TKM College of Engineering, Kollam (TKM), 
    • Rajiv Gandhi Institure of Technology, Kottayam (KTE)
    • MES College of Engineering, Mallapuram (MES)
  • Top 5 courses in Kerala: 
    • Architecture (AR), 
    • Mechanical (ME)
    • Computer Science (CS)
    • Electronics and Communications (EC)
    • Electrical and Electronics (EE)
  • Seats for Architecture course fills up quick. It could be due to limited seats in established colleges.
  • Students also select Architecture courses in newer Self Financing Colleges like NVR, IER, TER etc.
  • Even though majority of the job offers in campus placement are in IT/Software, IT course does not appear in the top list. It is interesting to observe that IT courses are not offered by established colleges like TVE, TCR or TKM.

Below is the details from Parinama Insights. We selected rank=1 and category = SM (State Merit)
