APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University Thiruvananthapuram B.Tech Industrial Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical Entrance Examination (KEAM) is organized by the Kerala government for candidates with a diploma or HSSC from any educational board, who are also Keralites. The exam includes two papers—one for physics and chemistry, and another for mathematics—with scores totaling 900. Admission to the prestigious College of Engineering Trivandrum requires a rank below 5000, as it is the top engineering college in Kerala, excluding NIT Calicut.

The faculty consists of government employees who have passed the demanding Public Service Commission (PSC) exam, with many holding advanced degrees such as Ph.D.s or M.Tech from top institutes like the IITs. The engineering program fee is about 60,000 INR for the entire course, with total expenses, including hostel fees, around 1 lakh INR for four years. The college's placement unit provides good job opportunities, even for students with backlogs, with companies like Bosch, Siemens, and Sapient actively recruiting.

Students can access various scholarships, such as Egrants, the Central Sector Scholarship, and the Merit Cum Means Scholarship, along with fee concessions for high achievers, reducing the necessity for student loans.
