Government Engineering College Kannur

Government Engineering College Kannur is the state-run engineering college for Kerala's northern Malabar region, drawing students from Kannur, Kasaragod and the surrounding districts who want a public seat without travelling to Thrissur or Thiruvananthapuram. It offers the core branches — computer science and electronics the most contested — with AICTE approval and a NAAC 'A' grade, admitting through KEAM counselling at government fees. Its campus sits outside Kannur city in a green, residential setting typical of Kerala's district colleges, and the state's strong government-college culture means motivated peers and active technical societies despite the distance from IT hubs. Placements in software roles usually run through drives and off-campus routes into Bengaluru, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. It suits Malabar students seeking affordability and a respected state college close to home.
