Admission to Government Engineering College, Thrissur, is based on the Kerala Engineering Entrance Exam (KEAM) and a published rank list considering both exam scores and 12th-grade marks. A rank around 5,000 was enough for admission in 2016. The entire process is online, merit-based, and includes counseling, with college allocation strictly by rank. Faculty members, primarily alumni from IITs and NITs, are experienced and knowledgeable, contributing to a good faculty-student ratio and supportive learning environment.
The college requires 75% attendance for exams and conducts two 50-mark internal exams per semester. The fee structure is affordable, with a semester fee of about 9,000 INR and additional miscellaneous fees in the odd semester, significantly cheaper than private colleges. Financial aids like eGrantz and scholarships ease the burden, with minimal exam fees. Placement opportunities are strong, with over 85% of students securing jobs and 55 companies visiting last year, including big names like TCS, Infosys, and Google.
The average salary package is around Rs 4,00,000 per annum, with the highest reaching Rs 15 LPA. Internships are mandatory, offering industry exposure, with some being paid. The college offers various scholarships, including Egrants for backward classes and the Prime Minister's Scholarship for children of military personnel. The annual fee ranges from 9,650 to 10,000 INR, and fee waivers are available for SC/ST categories. Students primarily pay university and PTA fees.
