The Courses:


The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, constituted in 1965 offers B. Tech
courses in Electronics and Communication Engineering and Applied Electronics and Instrumentation
Engineering. The department also runs M. Tech programmes in Microwave & TV Engineering and Applied
Electronics & Instrumentation.

The department has been accredited by NBA in the year 2000 and it has awarded its highest grade A5 to the
department.

The ISO 9002 certification awarded to the department is a proof for the maintenance of a Quality system for
the Academic programs of the department.

Established in 1939, this is the only A5 grade
Civil Engineering Department in the State. Availability of
trained man power has facilitated the department to play a very important role in the field of consultancy,
research, testing, certification and training for the industry. Covering around 5000 square metre of built up
area, the department has labs that are equipped with modern equipment. Students graduating from this
department have carved out a niche for themselves in reported firms and establishments, the world over.

The
Department of Computer Science and Engineering began functioning in the college in 1984 and
since its inception,graduating students have been well placed in either deemed academic institutions or top
industrial establishments in the country and abroad.

At the desktop of achievements of the department,lies the award of accreditation.The department also has iso
9002 certification(1994) the scope of which covers the Undergraduate course in Computer Science and
Engineering and Continuing Education Program(CEEP).

The Department of
Mechanical Engineering has been the heart and spirit of this premier institution right
from its inception.Rated very high,today,this department is the alma mater of several technocrats and
researchers in India and abroad.The department offers courses in Mechanical Engineering and industrial
engineering

Department Of Business Administration
The College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram is the pioneering management institution in Kerala
University. The MBA program was started in 1985 as a part time program to cater to the needs of managers
and supervisors longing for assimilation and translation of professional management. This program has been
