Dear Bhadra,

The College of Engineering, Trivandrum(CET) was established in 1939 as the first Engineering College in the then Travancore State. According to NIRF ranking, the College of Engineering Trivandrum is placed in the 71st position. The College ranks among the top in the country in the quality of its graduates and the number of top jobs held by its graduates. With such an eminence in the academic and curricular activities, the College is the most sought after Engineering College by the applicants of Engineering degree programmes in the state. The Electronics Engineering department (EEE branch) basically includes studies related to transmission of electrical signals and circuitry. It deals with analog and digital transmission & reception of data, voice and video, solid state devices, microprocessors, satellite communication, antennae, wave progression and digital and analog communication.

Whereas, Government Model Engineering College(MEC) is affiliated to the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) and was the first engineering college to be established by the Government of Kerala under the aegis of the institute of Human Resource Development (IHRD). The college was previously affiliated to Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) and has witnessed record breaking placements year after year. MEC was featured 37 among the top 100 engineering colleges in India by Outlook magazine and 21 among the top 25 Govt. Engineering colleges in India by DataQuest. The Electronics Engineering and Communication Department (ECE) offers premier professional training with the modern developments in electronics and information technology.  The curriculum is designed to give adequate emphasis on application of Electronics in Communication Systems and Signal Processing and includes courses on Semiconductor Electronics, Electronic Circuits, Communication Engineering, Instrumentation, Signal Processing, etc. The Electronics Department is home to Digital Circuits, Communication, etc.

The department has been recognized as a research Centre of the Cochin University of Science and Technology. Several research scholars are carrying out high end research in various areas under the supervision of the faculty. Faculty members of the department have also been recognized as research guides under the Kerala Technological University. Faculty have expertise in multimedia signal processing, electronic device modelling, VLSI and embedded systems, microwave engineering and optoelectronics to supervise cutting edge research.

I would suggest you to go for MEC, Kochi if you want to choose college from both. But rather you should pursue you area of interest coursewise. Both EEE and ECE are quite similar with distinct variations between them. So, please choose wisely.

Hope this sorted your query.

All the Best!!
