About MEC
Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara is a premier institute of engineering that has carved a niche for itself in the field of technical education in a very short span of time. Since its inception in 1989, under the aegis of the Institute of Human Resource Development for Electronics, IHRDE (now IHRD,Government of Kerala undertaking), the college has made its presence felt in the technical horizon of the state.
The college offers engineering courses in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Electronics & Biomedical Engineering. Unique in its structure, methods and goals, the college is strongly rooted in a philosophy of training and research that emphasizes the intimate relationships between knowledge and its application and seeks to promote the creation of an ideal society.

The college has been selected for financial assistance by TEQIP (Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme), a World Bank Project. As part of the scheme, it is expected to receive around Rs10 crores . An amount of Rs 4.3 crores has already been sanctioned. For more details log on to www.npiu.nic.in

K2 – the name has been evolved from Knowledge Kingdom: The larger goal and aspiration of the organisation in as much as it is the foundation of our activities. Because knowledge and its dissemination is critical to the success of all businesses across the globe, its the beginning and end of all communication, and information.

K2 is also a motif taken from the awe-inspiring mountain peaks in the Karakoram range in the Himalayas. The second highest peak in the world is far more treacherous and difficult to ascend than the Everest. And there-in lies our goal – To be second to none!
