Why To Join MEC - Reviews & Rating
What Students Say?
Likes
- It was well good in every sense under the Cochin University of Science and Technology, CUSAT, Cochin. I will recommend you this as one of the best universities for your better future.
- College did not provide internship opportunities; students had to find internships themselves. However, placements were good, with a placement score of more than 90%.
Dislikes
- Scholarship and loan facilities were offered by my college, which I knew of and availed. Furthermore, since it was a government college, the fees were less.
- The campus here is so disgusting that there is not enough space to accommodate all the students in the college.

Admission:
I opted for this college as it had a good reputation with its strong alumni network and placements. I got in through KEAM examination in the management quota. The fees are low compared to some other colleges i explored and i heard there was less spoonfeeding here unlike other colleges so there would be more emphasis on self-study.

I applied several colleges with this college but I selected my college because it's closer to my home and have second highest placement rate in Kerala. My parents wanted me to be day scholar so I focused on getting on a college that is closer to me. Admission process is through University allotments and you should pass the KEAM exam.
Likes
- Its location , It is situated at the heart of cochin city. Unlike other colleges it is easily accessible from the city,all means of transport are available from here.

- Not much emphasis on sports and arts programs
Admission:
I initially got admission in Rajagiri and i decided not to join there as is it very strict and thankfully i got admission here in the 2nd allotment . Getting seats for computer science is really hard, you would have to get rank of 2000 below in Keam entrace exam.
Likes

- Mec Thrikkakkara offers good placements for all batches.Also the staffs and students helps us in improving our skills through various clubs
Dislikes

- Besides workshops,There are no room for fun concerts or activities
Admission:
My cousin studied here few years back and is now working a top tech company.I applied for Cs in MSRIT and AMRITA,but the fee structure over there is too high(around 3-4 lakh per year).Here overall fee amount is equivalent the yearly fee.To get admission in MEC,a person needs to write keam exam .Three phases of allotment are held in here.At the beginning of all allotment,we could change our preferences.For CSE BATCH,CUTOFF RANK FOR merit is around 2k and Management around 3.5k .For CSBS it's around 3k for Merit and 7-8k for management.

Admission:
I chose MEC over others as I found it to have relatively the best placements. I applied for CUSAT, GEC, TKM and MEC had the better placements. I had gotten into CET but didn't get a merit seat and didn't want to pay the additional fees, so I went back to MEC. The admission process is through the KEAM exam. Selection a college involves a 3 stage priority process, where the college whom you want to get into the most is given the highest priority.

MEC: 1 Answered Question
Why is MEC Thrikkakara opted for by Keralites more often than CUSAT SOE?
Having friends studying in both institutes, I can say that MEC has a better (on-campus) placement record than SOE CUSAT.
- CUSAT is also good overall but passing papers is such a difficult challenge. Only a few candidates are eligible to participate in placements.
- As a result, most of the companies hesitate to visit campus for placements. But students are doing well in off-campus placements.
- This institution was originally part of Cochin University, and it was regarded as one of the university's best colleges in terms of amenities, location, and excellent faculty.
- However, this college, along with many others, has recently merged to become Kerala Technical University, resulting in a drop in demand for admission.
This has improved the facilities and educational quality and certificate value for CUSAT at both campuses. The top scorers tend to opt for CUSAT rather than KTU.
