Admission Prospectus

All seats in government and aided polytechnics in Kerala are filled through one state-wide single-window process run by the Directorate of Technical Education. You apply once on the admission portal and list the colleges and programmes you want. You do not apply to this college separately.

This page explains the rules in the 2026-27 prospectus, approved by G.O.(Rt) No. 618/2026/HEDN dated 01-06-2026. The prospectus is reissued every year, so it is the final word for the year you apply. On this portal, our institution code is M01. Each year of study has two semesters, the programme runs for six semesters over three years, and it starts with induction training.

• You must be an Indian citizen.
• You must have passed SSLC, THSLC or an equivalent exam that makes you eligible for higher studies.
• All four programmes here are in Stream I, which needs Mathematics, English and Science.
• You are not eligible if you took more than two chances to pass. SAY and betterment attempts are not counted as chances.
• CBSE students: Science is used in place of Physics and Chemistry, and you need Mathematics Standard. If you passed between 2010 and 2018, also submit the Annexure XIV undertaking.

Keralite and Non-Keralite applicants

Non-Keralites can apply but get no reservation or fee concession. To show you are a Keralite, submit one of these:

• SSLC, passport or birth certificate showing you were born in Kerala.
• The same document for a parent, along with proof of your relationship.
• A certificate from the Village Officer or Tahasildar.
• Annexure XVII, for children of All India Service officers.

Your rank comes from your SSLC grades. There is no entrance exam. Each grade has a point value:

For Stream I, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English matter most:

1. Main subjects: add the points for those subjects, multiply by 0.85, and divide by the number of those papers.
2. Other subjects: add the points for the rest, multiply by 0.15, and divide by the number of those papers.
3. Index: add the two results. Subtract 0.5 if you passed in your second chance. Natives of Wayanad get 0.5 added, for Wayanad seats only.

If two applicants tie, the higher main-subject score ranks first, then Mathematics, Physics or Science, and English. If they are still tied, the older applicant ranks first.

Some seats are set aside first:

The remaining seats are shared out like this:

Unfilled SC seats go to ST applicants and the other way round, then to OEC applicants, and then to open merit. SC and ST admissions are provisional, subject to verification by KIRTADS.

Tuition Fee Waiver

The Tuition Fee Waiver scheme adds up to 5% extra seats over the approved intake. It is for families with an income up to ₹8 lakh a year and is given on merit. It covers tuition fee only, and it runs only in programmes that filled at least half of their intake the year before.

The portal publishes a provisional rank list and a trial allotment first. You can correct your details and rearrange your options once, using an OTP. Two allotments follow. No letter or memo is sent, so check the portal yourself. You can list up to 30 options, each one a college and programme together.

When an allotment is published, you have these choices:

• You got your first option: join by the last date, or you will not be considered for further allotments.
• You got a lower option and are happy with it: join it and cancel all your higher options.
• You want something better but also want to keep this seat: register at any government or aided polytechnic and wait. Your certificates are checked, but no fees or documents are taken. You must then join the seat you get in the last allotment.
• You want something better and can give up this seat: wait for your higher options. Your current allotment is cancelled.
• You do not join your final allotment: it is cancelled, and you may still be considered for spot admission.

After the allotments come district counselling at nodal polytechnics and then spot admission. If you are admitted more than once, only the last admission stays valid. Someone else can join for you with the Annexure XIII authorisation, but you must produce the originals within a week. Changing institution is possible only into the third and fifth semesters.

Use these as a guide to how the year runs. The dates for your year will be in the new prospectus.

The portal later announced institution-wise spot admission from 18 August to 14 September 2026.

These are the fees listed for government and aided polytechnics in 2026-27.

Adding these up gives ₹4,330 at admission, ₹1,065 for each even semester and ₹3,040 for each later odd semester. The registration fee to apply is ₹200, or ₹100 for SC and ST applicants, and you pay it only once. The prospectus itself is free.

Concessions

• If your family income is up to ₹1 lakh a year, you get a fee concession whatever your community. Submit income and community certificates.
• OEC applicants get a concession with a family income up to ₹6 lakh a year.
• If you already hold a diploma and join another programme, tuition is ₹30,000 a year.

Leaving the course

If you withdraw before the course starts, your fees are refunded with no processing fee in government and aided colleges. Your refund and certificates must be given within seven days, and no fee can be demanded for later years. If you stop after the course has started, you may have to pay the full fee up to the semester you attended.

Bring the originals when you join, along with a parent or guardian. Every applicant needs:

• AADHAAR.
• SSLC or THSLC certificate for your date of birth, or a birth certificate, and your mark list. VHSE applicants also need their VHSE mark list.
• Proof that you are a Keralite.
• Transfer Certificate and Conduct Certificate.
• Signed undertakings: anti-ragging (Annexure XII), anti-drug (Annexure XVIII) and uniform (Annexure XIX).

Bring these only if they apply to you:
