Adi Shankara
Institute of Engineering & Technology, Kalady, Ernakulam

The KEAM
exam is conducted for entry to various professional degree courses in the state
of Kerala. The exam is scheduled from the 20th to the 23rd of April 2015.
Engineering aspirants need to appear for two papers – Paper 1, which comprises
Physics & Chemistry, and Paper 2, which consists of Mathematics. The exam
is conducted across all major venues in the state of Kerala and in cities like
Mumbai, New Delhi and Dubai, among others.

Continuing our series of articles on colleges that admit students on
the basis of their performance in the KEAM, let us take a look at Adi Shankara Institute of
Engineering & Technology, Kalady, Ernakulam.

Established in 2001, the Adi
Shankara Institute of Engineering & Technology is affiliated to the Mahatma
Gandhi University in Kottayam and is approved by the AICTE.

The institute
offers undergraduate programs in Applied Electronics, Civil engineering,
Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication, Electrical
& Electronics engineering, Information Technology and Mechanical
engineering.

Let us take a look at the closing
ranks in KEAM 2014 for admissions 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):
