Admission:
Eligibility was based on KEAM entrance marks with cutoff of 10marks. 12th grade marks of physics ,chemistry , maths is also important for availing scholarship.The frequency of exams should be adjusted as insufficency in time occurs during end of semester in completing portions creating pressure in students.

- I really like how the faculty manage to finish the subjects on time and how efficiently they accomplish it. They also provide various resources to study and enrich us with relevant knowledge.
- The campus is great and vast. There are greenery in our college. The college has great infrastructure and each branch has its own floor and they really keep it near and tidy.
Dislikes
- The very little amount of time to complete a 6 month semester for us is a great hassle for us even though they finish teaching their topics and brings up a lot of pressure for us.
- There are lot of assignments , tutorials , reports and records that are to be finished and supposed to be submitted on the same day sometimes which leads to stress for us and they might deduct marks for late submission.
Admission:
I took JEE as well as KEAM entrance exams. I passed in all these exams. I didn't get good rank in JEE because I didn't go to any kind of coaching centres. But in KEAM exam , I secured a rank of 11002 but I didn't got to any coaching centres as mentioned before. Then when the allotment came , my first option was GEC Thrissur , second was Vidya Academy. I got GEC for mechanical engineering but I lacked interest in it so I chose Vidya and pursued Computer Science in it. The entrance exams were really hard to crack. But I only learnt only two chapters in mathematics for my KEAM exam and I cracked it . The admission took me like 3-4 hours because there were lot of students for admission.
