Dear Friends, At the outset, I would like to thank all of you for electing us to the executive committee of our Prestigious Organization. As you are all aware, the committee wants to rejuvenate and make this year an eventful one for NITCAA Cochin. We consider it a great privilege to be involved at this phase when NITCAA is poised to scale great heights. Our newly and jointly formed charitable trust is raring to go with a string of proposals. The club will be a reality soon.Social concern and Charity, with which our movement started, is taking a front seat. All the activities have been brought under one umbrella which is bound to give greater cohesion and convergence among us. We would like to underscore that our prime duty will be to foster kinship and fraternity among NITCAAites. Bringing back the families to NITCAA events will be a cherished goal of the new committee. Over the years, we have been successful to a limited extent, in bringing the new NITCAAites to our fold. This will be given greater emphasis and I am happy to report that we have already made some inroads into our younger flocks and we believe that is the only way to give vigor and continuity to our society. As we all know that we have been pioneering the Alumni movement in South India way back in the early 1980s and NITCAA Cochin has always been in the lead whether in promoting housing societies or industrial exhibitions. We continue to lead from the front with our project of Rating the engineering colleges in Kerala and by publishing the rating list to benefit the engineering aspirants of the state. This is expected to give us good publicity and acceptability as an elite, talented and dedicated group of engineers in and around the city of Greater Cochin. The promise given by our predecessors that we shall host the next World RECCAA Meet will be yet another challenge, the new committee has to address. This website is a beginning to connect all of us and we request you all to please share your happiness and sorrows among all our members. Please give necessary feed back to our committed editorial team. We hope, with all your whole hearted support in all our activities, we can make a mark in the social and cultural spear in our society. JOSEPH PHILIP President NITCAA Cochin Chapter |

An insight into Engineering Colleges of Kerala
Around 108,000 students had registered for the Kerala Engineering Entrance examination this year. There are 114 engineering colleges today in Kerala and it is reliably learnt that a few more are on the anvil. While some colleges have celebrated their jubilees, some others are in their infancy, facing all the problems associated with that stage. In these circumstances, it is obvious that wide disparity exists among the engineering colleges, whether it is in the quality of education provided or infrastructure available. When students are offered admission in engineering colleges, they have very limited information available to make a judicious selection regarding which institution to join. There are no guidelines on the quality of the institution or the expertise they have on any specific branch. In fact, there is very limited information available about many of these colleges that have come up in the last decade, except their respective prospectus. The Cochin Chapter of NITCAA (National Institute of Technology Calicut Alumni Association) has come forwarded to bring out a comprehensive a web portal on Engineering colleges in Kerala www.helloengineer.org. Many colleges have contributed to furnish the information, in this portal. An expert committee of highly qualified personnel prepared detailed questionnaire covering all the salient features required for a good Engineering College. A well-structured set of parameters such as details of faculty, infrastructure available, admission details including rank in the entrance test, academic details, such as pass percentage and ranks obtained, details of accreditation and certification, placement, and facilities for co-curricular activities were defined and presented in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to all engineering colleges in the state with a request to forward the same duly filled. 53 engineering colleges participated in the survey. We thank them for their co-operation. The jury has completed the evaluation and the jury chairman Dr Babu T Jose announced the results on 9th June 2010 |
