Going beyond the list of the top engineering colleges in Kerala

With a literacy rate is 93.91% per Census 2011, it is no wonder Kerala has upwards of 160 colleges, both private and public, to study engineering! However, from such a large list, how does one find the best engineering colleges in Kerala? Many websites are coming up with an article on the top engineering colleges in Kerala. But there are not more than 5-6 colleges in that list. How will so many students who are looking to study engineering get admission into just 5-6 colleges? 

 

All these years students thought only the government colleges provided the best education. But that is no longer true. There have been a slew of self-financing private colleges in recent times in the state, providing reasonably good education. This makes the task to find the best engineering colleges in Kerala even more difficult. While government colleges are still strong on talent and quality of education or placement, partly due to history and tradition, they fall short on infrastructure. The private ones, on the other hand, have invested a lot of money to create some of the best college infrastructure in the state. All this makes the overall engineering education environment in the state average and complex. It has been reported recently that not even a quarter of the engineering graduates coming out every year are employable.

Engineering education is not just about college fests, and campus life, as most students seem to believe or wish for. It is a lot of hard work, which again is not simple cramming for a good percentage in exams. What you, a student, want out of your engineering degree will help you decide which one among the top engineering colleges in Kerala will be good for you. Look for colleges that are sharing with you cutting-edge technical knowledge, use of high-end computers, vast knowledge resources, workshop visits, leadership lectures, and a chance to be innovative so that you can think independently and publish papers before your final year. Such colleges will be the best engineering colleges in Kerala, not the list shared on most career and education websites.
