My first option was College of Engineering Trivandrum(CET) 2nd was TKM 3rd was Mar Athanasius college Kothamangalam and 4th barton college Trivandrum. I got allotted into tkm in the 3rd allotment and i got admission there.Tkm is like the 3rd best Engineering college in kerala after NIT Calicut and College of Engineering Trivandrum(CET)

The faculty of our college is very helpful when it comes to education. Most of the teachers are friendly and caring. Most of them would help if you have scored few marks in your examination or if you have attendance shortage beacause you were sick.But there are a few who are rude and most of them irritates the students.
