College of Engineering, Attingal,
Thiruvananthapuram.

The KEAM exam is
conducted for entry to various professional degree courses in the state of
Kerala. This year, the exam is scheduled from the 20th to the 23rd of April
2015. In this exam, 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.

Next in the series
of articles on colleges admitting students on the basis of their performance in
the KEAM, we take a look at College of Engineering, Attingal.

Established in 2004 by the Institute of Human Resource Development
(IHRD), this College of Engineering is affiliated to the Cochin University of
Science and Technology and is approved by the AICTE. The college reserves 50%
of the seats for merit based admissions while the rest 50% is reserved as
management seats.

The college offers courses in Computer Science & Engineering,
Electrical & Electronics engineering and Electronics & Communication
engineering with an approved intake of 60 students for each branch.

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):
