The sleeping giant

There are a lot of good things for Model Engineering College. Placements, ranks, academics are all very good here. Only step back of this college is its infrastructure. Model Engineering College has a smaller campus. This is the only bad remark you can say about this college.

You should write KEAM, exam conducted under Govt of Kerala, to get your admission here. I scored around 300 marks in entrance examination. Board exam marks will also be considered for rank calculation. I got around 4000 rank in KEAM. There are 3 types of seats here. Government, Management and NRI. Government and management seats are filled based on KEAM rank. Whereas NRI seats will be allowed by the college management. MEC is one of the best college in Kerala in terms of both academics and placements. MEC has secured great ranks in college rankings. Electronics and communication is one of the best branches here.

The course curriculum is tough and vast. There's a lot to study which will be helpful for students for doing higher studies. Nowadays as all the colleges are under APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, the curriculum is constructed by experienced professors from top institutes in India.

MEC is one of the best colleges in Kerala in terms of placements. Many big companies in various fields conduct placement here.

Excel 2018, annual techno-managerial symposium, of Model Engineering College is one of the largest and best tech tests in India. Conducted solely by students it's regarded as one of the best fests.

It is not too expensive compared to many of the private colleges. MEC have one of the best Return of investment rank in the colleges of Kerala.

I'm not quite sure about the scholarship and loan facility. Some financial assistance is provided for students who are financially backward but who are good in academics. And some scholarship is provided for students which belong to minority castes. There are no other loan facility or scholarships provided here other than these, to my knowledge.

Campus life is good and enjoyable. The campus is relatively small. You will get to know students of almost all year's and batches. Branches like CS and Biomedical have a higher number of girls, whereas EEE will have a higher number of boys. EC is normally equal in a number of boys and girls. Students from various parts of India join here. Extracurricular activities are enjoyable here. Many clubs are formed so that students can do something extra other than academics. All branches have their own clubs and IEEE, quiz club, debate club, innovation club, entrepreneurship cell are all present here. There is no campus politics here.

Hostel facility is available only for boys. Girls should go to private hostels around the college which are good too. Men's hostel has limited capability. Only around 50 students are allowed each year. The hostel is good in cleanliness and food compared to many other hostels. The room is shared between 2-3 students. Mess in the hostel run by students itself. Average fees for a month is around 3500. For PGs average room rental is around 3000, without food facility.

I got admission by centralized allotment system. You'll have to give college and course options for all colleges under KEAM. You'll get alloted based on your KEAM rank. Then you'll have to attend the councilling at the particular college on the date provided. There
