These days majority of
students who opt for science in their senior secondary classes have engineering
as an option after school and keeping in mind the present
scenario we can easily make our minds that there has been a great development
in d field of education, especially in the area of engineering education. According
to a report by All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) there were
2,297 engineering colleges with a total student intake capacity of 8.19 lakh
students in India in 2008.A major proportion of the engineering graduates come
from south india,and as a result Five Indian states-Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala-account for almost 69% of the country's
engineering graduates, indicating that these states also have most of India's
engineering colleges.
There has been a great focus on
education in kerela since the ancient times as there were many sabha mathams
which imparted vedic knowledge and the kalaharis which taught d most ancient
and sacred form of martial arts in India.The state by the grace of god was
always in light of the day and never went through any dark phases let it be
general education or the higher education which was also promoted in the pre independence
era when Catholic and Christian missionaries who were keen on providing
education to all sections of society and strengthening of women, without any
kind of discrimination continued on with there efforts even after the
britishers left the country. Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics was
founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama in KeralaTheir most important results—series
expansion for trigonometric functions—were described in Sanskrit verse in a
book by Neelakanta called Tantrasangraha, and again in a commentary on this
work, called Tantrasangraha-vakhya, of unknown authorship.This is very much
relevant to show and experience the glory that this country has seen come its
door and judging by the status of the present education scenario it has been a
commendable job.
There are a large no of parameters to judge any education system
right from its roots to its highest achievement but there there are certain
attributes which top the priority list and can also be considered to be the
most important attributes to the success of an institution.the parameters are
1.
Infrastructure
a key factor in judging the amenities
provided by the college.
2. Fees
every parent wishes to provide a cheap but
the best education to its ward
3.Faculty
the level of a student is always jdged by
the standard of his teacher
4.Placement
there sholud be no one without a job at the
end of 4 years
5. Research
there should be ample space for new ideas
to generate and cultivate themselves.
Now keeping in my mind all the factors
and conducting a comparative study of the engineering education in the state of
Kerela we can shortlist few colleges which top the charts in almost evgery
aspect.
1. TKM College
of Engineering, Kollam(elec,mech,ec,cs).
the
college started in 1956 and has been built in a large spaceto provide ample
space to cater to each and every need.
the fees is very low as it is a
governmental organisation.
it has a large no of faculty with every
teacher having an experience of min 5 years.
companies like Ashok
Leyland,CTS,HCL,Indian Army,Sasken Communications,TCS,frequently the campus.
the college has been responsible behind
the funding to various students seeking a financial help towars their R&D.
Erode Sengunthar Engineering College
strives with determination and commitment to provide and promote world-class
Technical Education, in particular to the students of backward rural areas,
transforming them into holistic personalities embedded with discipline, skill
and responsibility that make them patriotic, successful, and self-developed
professionals ready to accomplish any job in their career and life.

library, internet, laboratories, placement assistance to all the students. The
eligibilty for undergraduate courses is 10+2 pass and for post graduate courses
the elibility is graduation. The admission to most of these courses is done
through various entrance tests at different levels and for rest of the courses
the admission is done directly.
7. College of
Engineering- Trivandrum
The College of
Engineering, Trivandrum was established in 1939 as the first Engineering
College in the then Travancore State. The institution owes its foundation to
the bold and inspired vision of Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, the then
Maharaja of Tranvancore. The College has eight full-fledged departments
offering eight undergraduate, 18 postgraduate and doctoral programmes under the
University of Kerala, the College has around 3600 students, 285 teaching staff
and 280 non-teaching staff. B.Tech., B.Arch, M.Tech, M.Plan and MBA and evening
courses are offered by the College.
Mohandas College of Engineering and Technology
(MCET) offers B.Tech courses in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering,
Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering,
Electronics and Communication Engineering, # Information Technology, Mechanical
Engineering
The college
offers facilities like library, internet, laboratories, placement assistance to
all the students.
Nehru College of
Engineering and Research Centre is affiliated to University of Calicut and
Approved by AICTE. It is located on the northern slopes of Thiruvilwamala,
which merges with the banks of the holy river Nila.
Nehru College of
Engineering and Research Centre offers B.Tech Mechanical Engineering,
Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science &
Engineering, Information Technology, Automobile Engineering, Electrical &
Electronics Engineering & MBA Course.
10. IES
College of Engineering
IES College of Engineering was established in
2003. t is a hi-tech technical training institution, under self-financing
scheme, run by the Ideal Education Society and managed by the various
committees of IES.
IES College of
Engineering has bben approved by AICTE, New Delhi and affiliated to University
of Calicut. The College offers the B.Tech Degree in Civil Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics &
Communication Engineering, Mechanical engineering.
In spite of the large number of
educational institutions in the state, the quality of education at all levels
in Kerala has been showing a decline due to financial constraints resulting
from quantitative expansion of the sector.
A study published in 1999 by
the Centre for Socio-economic & Environmental Studies states that while the
drop out rates are very low in primary schools, the same increases in the ninth
and the tenth standards in Kerala. This is particularly true about SC/ST
students. schools showed that only 73 per cent of the students joining Standard
I reach the tenth Standard . In the case of scheduled caste students, only 59
per cent reach the tenth standard. Sixty per cent of the scheduled tribe
students drop out by the tenth standard.
Another major indicator of
the inefficiency of Kerala's school education system is the large scale failure
of the students in the matriculation examination. Only about 50% of the
students who appear for the examination get through in spite of liberal
valuation and provision of grace marks. But at present the percentage of result
has been considerably increased because of major interventions by the
government in the areas of curriculum and teacher training. In March 2011,
91.37% students qualified for higher studies in the matriculation Examination.
