Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology

Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology in Kochi belongs to the Rajagiri family of institutions run by the CMI religious congregation, whose colleges carry weight across Kerala. Established in 2001 and AICTE-approved, it holds an A++ grade from NAAC — the top band, and rare among Kerala's self-financing engineering colleges — and teaches under the state technological university's degree system, with admission through Kerala's entrance and allotment process. Computer science and electronics are the strongest draws. Location helps in a concrete way: the campus at Kakkanad sits near Kochi's Infopark IT corridor, keeping internships and placement drives close, in Kerala's most commercially active city. Discipline and academic structure reflect its church-run management. It suits Kerala students who miss government-college seats but want one of the state's better-regarded and better-accredited private engineering options.
