Engineering Colleges in Kerala: Are We Spoilt for Choice?

Choosing the right institution for higher education can be a daunting task even if one is exploring colleges within a state.

This has thrown open enormous opportunities to the student community. But at the same time it has made the process of making the right and informed choice rather difficult. A little awareness of the various colleges will help you make the choice with less trepidation.

Expect More BTech Students In Teaching Profession

IITs have hit upon a new plan to attract more students to the teaching profession and research work and at the same time increase their revenue.

Since the structure and content of the two examinations are the same, IITs have planned to use only the CAT scores for the admission process. This will, hopefully, ease pressure on the students. However, it may not be possible for all management courses to opt for this process.
