The eligibility of the course is to pass KEAM entrance exam with a rank . I manage to secure 28k rank and I got allotted here in the 3rd allotment. I got reservation benefits while getting allotted because I am Muslim. You can't get into this college without attending KEAM. In spot allotment students who have attended keam but didn't manage to pass was allotted here. The question papers are actually easy but most of the time teachers don't manage to cover the portions. So we find it very difficult to pass the exams especially subjects like maths and electrical engineering. The admission process is ok but the fact is most of the students drop out during 1st semester because you will feel like you are trapped. At 1st our class strength was 39 but now it is 33. Each and every student in our class were interested in changing college but due to family pressure they were not able to do so

The basic eligibility is NEET entrance exam and ICAR examination. For keralites you have the KEAM ranking according to which the admissions are provided, for non keralites you have the ICAR rankings. The application form will be available through the KEAM site. The cut off depends on the average score of the examination on that particular year. Reservation benefits are available for all reservation categories. For the children of fisherman many other scholarships are also available.

You can get admission through KEAM (Kerala Engineering and Medical) entrance exam or the ICAR AIEEA UG exam. The eligibility criteria for admission is to pass the cut-off marks of the keam or icar exams. For the keam exam, you have to visit the keam portal to apply for the exam and have to be on the rank list. keam exam takes the marks of the NEET exam. If you have above a mark of 500, you can get admission to this college. Admission is simple as you have to upload your mark of keam registration site. Reservation benefits include low cut-off marks.
The admission process is ultimately based on the KEAM entrance examination. The students shall pass the KEAM examination and the application is online via the commissioner of the entrance examination site. The reservation categories include sc, st and children of fishermen. The only thing I want to see improved is the number of seats should be made much more so that it may be useful for most students.
The admission process was a little slow. If it makes fast it may be easy. The college is very nice to see and also they are bothered about the cleanliness and also the safety of the children studying there.
Every faculties in our college was the best and highly, professionally qualified tutors we had. We had high facility lab and we were taken to visit many industries such PDDP, milma, etc.We have best teachers
