GEC Thrissur B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

KEAM (Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical) is an entrance exam managed by the Kerala government's Office of the Commissioner of Entrance Exams, held usually in June. It includes subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, with ranks based on KEAM scores and 12th-grade marks combined. Admission to government engineering colleges, like the Government Engineering College Thrissur, typically requires a rank under 5,000. The admissions process is merit-based with an initial payment of Rs.

15,400 for PTA funds and Rs. 8,225 for government fees. The rank list and college allotments occur in three phases; seats are limited, particularly for lateral entries. The faculty are highly qualified, often holding PhDs, and are supportive in academic and extracurricular areas. Though some faculty irregularly attend classes, lab sessions remain strict, and the faculty-to-student ratio is favorable. The college has a strong alumni network, enhancing support, yet student-faculty interactions could be improved.

The college offers a feasible fee structure, with an annual tuition fee of about Rs. 8,000, including PTA funds, and exam fees around Rs. 6,000 per semester. BTech courses require a college fund of Rs. 13,700, with SC and ST students exempt from fees. Placement opportunities are robust, with around 710+ offers from 75+ companies for the 2022 batch. Notable recruiters include Tata Consultancy Services, Mahindra, Byjus, Infosys, and Larsen & Toubro.

About 50%-70% of students secure placements, mainly in IT, with average salary packages from 3 to 6.8 LPA and a highest package of 60 LPA. The college provides active placement cell support and offers internship opportunities. Scholarships, mainly from the government and alumni, significantly aid in managing educational expenses, such as the E-Grantz and MOMA scholarships. Tuition fees range from 8,000 to 12,000 INR per semester. The college ensures students are informed about these opportunities through a designated scholarship in-charge.
