Jawaharlal College of Engineering & Technology Admissions Details

Jawaharlal College of Engineering & Technology Application/Admission Process

Jawaharlal College of Engineering and Technology (JCET) in Palakkad, Kerala, offers B.Tech admissions primarily through government quota via KEAM and management quota. The process emphasizes entrance exams, counseling, and document verification for aspiring engineering students.

Admission Process

Admissions to B.Tech programs at JCET follow Kerala government norms, with seats allocated via KEAM rank list for government quota (minimum 10 marks each in KEAM Paper I and II) or JEE Main scores. Management quota allows direct admission for candidates with 55% aggregate in 10+2 PCM without mandatory entrance scores, subject to college verification.

Candidates apply online via the official KEAM portal (cee.kerala.gov.in) or college website (jawaharlalcolleges.com) for management seats, submit forms with fees, participate in counseling phases, and confirm by paying tuition. Original documents are verified at the college, and admission can be canceled if discrepancies are found.

PG programs like M.Tech require GATE scores, while MBA needs KMAT/CMAT/CAT; applications are online with similar verification steps.

Eligibility Criteria

For B.Tech, candidates need 10+2 (Higher Secondary Kerala or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, securing at least 55% aggregate; relaxations apply for reserved categories. Government quota mandates KEAM qualification and rank list inclusion.

Management quota requires 55% in PCM without entrance compulsion, though valid JEE/KEAM is preferred. M.Tech eligibility includes engineering degree with minimum aggregate (50-60% varying by category) and GATE score; SC/ST candidates need a pass.
