The college was established a long time back and is quite old in terms of its infrastructure, but a new block for mechanical engineering was recently inaugurated indicating that development is still being made.

So, I would recommend you to go for gec thrissur ece because it's a non core branch and you will get good placements opportunities in core as well as non core domain. You will have plethora of opportunities in these branch.
