Government Engineering College, Thrissur
The KEAM
Exam 2015 for Engineering is now over. The closing ranks for various branches
in engineering are now the most discussed topic among students who have
appeared for the KEAM exam. Let us look into the details regarding the KEAM,
the colleges that accept the scores and the closing ranks for various
engineering departments.
In the KEAM
exam, engineering aspirants need to appear for two papers – Paper 1, which
comprises Physics & Chemistry, and Paper 2, which consists of Mathematics.
Many reputed
institutes in Kerala that offer different professional degrees accept KEAM exam
scores for their admissions. This exam is conducted across all major venues in
the state of Kerala and in cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and Dubai, among
others.
We now look
into colleges admitting students on the basis of their performance in the KEAM
exam; we take a look at Government Engineering College, Thrissur.
This institute was established in 1957 and is recognised by the AICTE.
This government college is affiliated to the Calicut University. It is under
the Directorate of Technical Education.
The institute offers undergraduate programs in Architecture, Civil
engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Chemical engineering, Electronics
& Communication engineering, Electrical & Electronics engineering,
Production engineering and Mechanical engineering.
The Architecture course has an approved intake of 40 students while the
Production engineering department offers 30 seats every year. The Computer
Science & Engineering and the Electronics & Communication engineering
offer 63 seats every year. The Electrical & Electronics engineering and
Mechanical engineering departments have 105 seats each while the Civil
engineering and the Chemical engineering department have an approved intake of
95 and 50 seats respectively.
Let us take a look at the closing ranks in KEAM 2014 for admission to
this institute last year (do note that the closing rank is the lowest rank at
which a student – of a particular category – was finally admitted to the
institute):
