SCTCE Thiruvananthapuram Admissions: Students' Opinion

  • BTech

AI-Generated Summary based on 149 Reviews

Admission to the B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering program at Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering is primarily based on the KEAM entrance examination, conducted by the Kerala government. The counseling process spans three phases, concluding with a spot allotment, prioritizing merit-based ranks with cutoffs typically under 10,000 for general seats and under 20,000 for management seats. Various quotas such as NRI, KSRTC, and SC/ST support students who may not meet standard cutoff ranks.

A rank is required for selection, and board marks might play a role for non-KEAM admissions. Reservation categories like EWS and OBC offer further entry assistance. The college offers a government-aided education enhancing the value of the degree, along with a vibrant campus life featuring renowned cultural fests. Known for strong faculty and placement records, especially in mechanical engineering, the college maintains a strategic appeal amidst local institutions. While providing essential infrastructure and a conducive learning atmosphere, STE offers competitive tuition with manageable fees, complemented by a simplified admission process facilitated by the supportive staff.

Candidates are advised to have a competitive KEAM score and rank to secure merit-based admissions or to consider management and reserved quotas if applicable.

It has well structured labs.I also looked for cet, Trivandrum but I didn't get it because of my keam rank. The exam accepted for the course is keam and most of the students prefer it.
