Government Engineering College, Painavu, Idukki

The KEAM
Exam 2015 for admissions to Engineering concluded today. 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, Idukki.

This
institute was established in 1999 and is recognised by the AICTE. This
government college is affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University. It is under
the Directorate of Technical Education.

The
institute offers undergraduate programs in Computer Science & Engineering,
Electronics & Communication engineering, Electrical & Electronics
engineering, Information Technology and Mechanical engineering. All the
departments of engineering in the institute offer 63 seats every year.

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):
