Gcek- the best engineering college in northern Kerala.
Placements: The placements offered by Government College of Engineering Kannur were lesser last year compared to previous years. One of the students from Electronics and Communication received an 18 LPA package. The average package in GCEK is 4 LPA. There is an active placement cell to prepare students for placement drives.
Infrastructure: GCE Kannur has well-equipped labs and workshops for all departments. The college has Wi-Fi available in the main block. Labs and classrooms are high-tech. There is a main library and individual libraries for departments. Regarding the hostel, we have 3 blocks (A, B, C) for girls and two blocks (A, B) for boys. Hostel admission is based on government norms (family income, distance from home, academic performance). The quality of food provided is very good. We have non-veg available on almost 4-5 days per week. There is a hospital located 100 meters from the boys' hostel. The boys' hostel has basketball and volleyball courts, as well as indoor sports like table tennis.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members are well-educated and experienced. They are very friendly and maintain a good relationship with students. The college is under APJ Abdul Kalam Technology University, and our batch follows KTU's 2019 scheme. It is a little bit older, but KTU is going to introduce a new scheme in 2024. In each semester, there are two series exams and one semester exam. Exams are easy to pass if you have an understanding of the subjects. In the 2024 batch's results, we had a 77.6% pass percentage, which is 4th in the university and 2nd among government colleges.
Other: I chose Electronics and Communication Engineering because I thought it would have more applications and opportunities in the future. The college offers good facilities to make you a skilled engineer. The college has a tech fest called XPLORE, which is happening in 2024. It is a national-level tech fest. The college offers good sports facilities, including a large football and cricket ground, basketball, volleyball, and badminton courts, etc. The college has an indoor auditorium, open-air auditorium, placement hall, library, well-equipped gymnasium, canteen, co-operative store, etc. The college offers many scholarships that can cover your full tuition fee. By the way, the tuition fee is just around 10k per year.

My dream college-GCE Kannur.
Placements: Only about 20 to 30 students get placed this year. In the electrical branch, L&T was the core company and came with a package of 6 LPA. Internships are done by the students themselves in the nearby keltron and substation. Mainly, we are placed in software roles, like developing and testing, which are very rare.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is one of the best thing. And it was also one of the reason I joined college. It was well structured with labs, departments, auditoriums, stadiums, etc. Our hostels are some of the best hostel with hygiene food and all other facilities. Our canteen food was also very tasty and cheap. It was with quality food at cheap price.
Faculty: In most of the departments, experienced, capable faculty members are there. Their teaching experience and care for each student make it unique. Every faculty member is well-behaved and doesn't hesitate to teach anyone. They guide us in a proper way in our project and seminar too. In our final year project, we were able to work without any difficulty because of the facilities in the lab and the lab assistance we got. Semester exams are quite tough, although we get a pass percentage of 70% or above in each semester.
Other: I chose electrical engineering because it was very challenging course among all the engineering streams. My course helped me develop many technical skills that will help me in future career. Our college hosts various IEEE, ISTE, etc. events. Also in very 4 years, we are having a national-level tech fest.

Infrastructure: Moving on to the infrastructure of the college, it is good. There are 5 departments in the college, including Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Electrical and Electronics, Civil, and Mechanical. Each department has separate classrooms, and there are libraries for academic use.
Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is highly relevant, following KTU standards, making students industry-ready. Equal weightage is given to both practical and theoretical aspects. Semester exams are challenging, with a pass percentage set at 60 percent.

Review of Government College of Engineering Kannur.
Placements: I am currently pursuing a B.Tech. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The last batch that passed out had a placement rate of 75%, mostly in the software and IT fields. Core placements were considerably low considering the ongoing recession. Maxlinear, Bosch, etc. were the major core companies that visited us. The maximum CTC in our department was 9 LPA and the average CTC was 4.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: Our college boasts a really impressive infrastructure, even when compared with the nearby engineering colleges in the Malabar region. It was commented as having labs of the level equal to IITs and NITs by the team visiting us from the NBA accreditation team.
Faculty: Our course and college come under the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University. And it is almost on par with the engineering curriculum of major institutions in India and abroad. The faculty at GCEK is highly qualified for all departments. Due to the active involvement of students and the Student Union, some revolutionary changes are being made to the curriculum and study patterns.
Other: Campus life is something that you would hold close to your heart if you passed out of this college. The college union and the various student clubs are very vibrant and regularly host various events involving the students. The college also has supporting infrastructure for hosting such events. Explore is a national-level techfest conducted by GCEK that is scheduled to be hosted in 2024. The presence of other colleges nearby, like the NIFT, etc., also helps in networking and making new peers.

Average package is around 7-8LPA. In CS almost 70% are placed. Internship opportunities are also provided by some.
Infrastructure: Excellent facilities. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus and in hostels as well. The food in the mess is average. Canteen food is cheap and pretty good as well. Excellent facilities for all kinds of indoor and outdoor sports. The labs are fully air conditioned.
Faculty: Since it is a government college, the faculty members are highly educated. Our department is NBA accredited and is highly recognised. Follows the curriculum of KTU and is pretty relevant. The exams are moderate to easy difficult. The pass percentage is 40.

Campus life is very good but.
Placements: Due to recession. The placement offer graph is having a dip. My college is having a pretty average placement offers average at 5LPA. The highest package last year was 18LPA. Companies like L&T, Tata Elxsi, Qburst, MRF, TCS are the top recruiters. This year recruitment process is ongoing. In my department it is expected to get a 40% placement.
Infrastructure: Canteen food is worth the price. College Wi-Fi is available. Labs are not upto date but it is adequate. Sports and games are well encouraged and participation in university level games is encouraged. There is new block for library and department libraries having pretty decent facilities.
Faculty: Electrical and Electronics Department is very strict in academics. Faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable but overload of works is what you have to suffer. Course curriculum is of course outdated one. Not making students industry ready. Semester exams diffi level is moderate.
