Great college for core branches and students who are really passionate about engineering.

Placements: About 80% of the students are being placed at either core or non-core companies. A great percentage of core placements are reported, and it is one of the highest in Kerala. Core companies like JSW, MRF, Ashok Leyland, and Annora instrumentation have given placements, and the average is above 6LPA.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is fair. Not excellent, but it has adequate facilities like Wi-Fi in college and hostel. Library facilities, and well-equipped labs are available for all courses. New hostels are being built to accommodate more students, and gradually, the infrastructure is also being developed.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough, and they have completed their studies from premier institutes of the country. Faculty members of our department are very friendly and are always available for help. They provide us space and time for non-academic activities and projects.

Other: If you are focusing on the KEAM exam, GEC Thrissur is one of the top colleges under the Kerala government. It has a huge alumni network, which helps us gain a lot of opportunities.

It has a strong infrastructure, good faculty, and decent placement rates.
