My great institution, the Govt. College of Engineering Kannur, which stands out as the best in Malabar,not only creates technocrats but mould them to excel in their creativity also. Enriched with a fully devoted and accomplished team of faculty, along with its curriculum it acts as avery conductive ladder for the students in achieving their aspirations and also as a concrete pillar where they need support. It is overwhelming to mention the covetous evolution of this prestigious institution since its inception. I'm so honoured that I belong to the first batch (1986) of this esteemed organization. Though it was a 'real living' of years of us with limited facilities in the beginning when we started our journey from the noisy corridors of the Town High School Payyambalam, we can proudly pronounce now that it has only boosted our morale and poise.
"GCEK is the place from where we got the best of our college life. The campus and its ambience helped us to nurture our natural passion. The freedom provided by GCEK to all the students motivated us to explore the best of our abilities and encouraged us to chase our dreams. The best of GCEK is its ability to build friendship and camaraderie among all the students. I am sure that this tradition is continuing and the bondage is growing stronger through generations."
"GCEK gave me a holistic perspective on how to explore, aspire and work for the best in my life. My four years in GCEK armed me with an armoury of skills as well as with the clarity in how I approach my thoughts, career and life. I still fondly remember my eventful college days intertwined between classes and sports competitions. My journey at GCEK taught me how to perfect the balance of learning inside and outside the classroom. I wish all the best for my alma mater and proud of its fast journey towards gaining international reputation."
"I am proud and privileged to be a GCEKian. The college made me what I am. The perfect blend of academics, co-curricular activities both technical as well as those relating to socio-political-cultural realms made me a man fit to live in the society. My campus made the ecosystem for all of us students to grow from a student to a responsible individual. It was a microcosm of the macrocosm."
I graduated from GCEK from the first batch. The formative years at the town campus interlinked with strikes for the infrastructure for the present campus and the dedicated and committed teaching and support staff has helped me to evolve as a soldier in the Navy first and now as an entrepreneur designing and manufacturing various electro mechanical systems for the Indian defense forces. Now 35 years down the lane it is great pride to understand and realise the achievements from our Alumni in various fields of technology, entrepreneurship and admistration. I wish my alma mater many many more glorious years ahead.
I had a splendid experience as a student of Govt. College of Engineering, Kannur and proud to say that I belong to this wonderful family of GCEK. The values instilled in me by the institution carved me a better individual and made me to achieve my goals. Knowledge gained at GCEK is instrumental in shaping me as an efficient engineer. Right now I am placed as an Aerospace Scientist in Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) - Bangalore, Under Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India. I am happy and proud that I am part of prestigious national programmes, Design and Development of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA-TEJAS) and Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) in ADA-Bangalore.
Over the many years since its inception I have seen the college grow from strength to strength in all the areas of its operation. The dedicated and enthusiastic faculties have always kept the student’s interests in mind and created an environment where learning is fun, intensive and industry oriented.
I wish continued success to the college and current students who I am sure will find great careers in their chosen professional area.
GCEK gave me the opportunity to hone my technical and leadership skills being the second batch of this college. The deep relationships built have lasted over three decades and the link with GCEK remains everlasting strong. The experience of setting up the IEEE chapter and representing the college in Quiz competitions helped me develop courage and confidence in building leadership attributes which allowed me to scale new heights in my corporate career of 30 years resulting in senior leadership roles and being the sole Asian on the executive committee.
Graduating as an engineer from GCEK gave me the right platform to pursue my passion in automotive design and I have been fortunate to be associated with brands like Safran, Renault and Mercedes-Benz in my years of design experience in the field.
Being part of the GCEK family has been one of the key elements not only in establishing my basics in mechanical engineering, but also personally in making friends whom I'm very close to even now.
I wish the future engineers from GCEK a wonderful career with loads of experience and also the very best to the teaching faculty for their continued motivation to nurture and develop young skilled professional engineers.
GCEK holds a special place in my career where I forged great life-long relationships and chiselled my analytical and entrepreneurial skills that aid me to get into IIM and later launch the two startups. I am grateful to the wonderful support from my professors and glad to see some of them now at the helm of affairs at our college. I am really impressed with the quality of engineering talent in the current batches as evident in the campus placements done for my startup, BestDoc. Looking forward to seeing many more entrepreneurs, builders and creators of tomorrow from GCEK.
Life at GCEK taught me a lot... it taught me what to aspire for... n it taught me that everything was within reach for those who really wanted it... the campus made me dream and turned me into who i am today...
It is no wonder why people say College life is the best part of their lives! I was lucky enough to experience my wonder at GCEK: The best engineering college in Malabar region and one among the top engineering colleges in Kerala. Be it the vast campus with its miraculous infrastructure, well-qualified yet magnanimous professors, well recognized Student Bodies and Tech-fests, you name it, GCEK has it! GCEK not only enhances one's technical skills, but also provide various platforms to apply the gained knowledge. Constant and collaborative interactions with some of the brightest minds has broadened my knowledge base, improved my leadership abilities and contributed to other inter-personal skills. The TEQIP Cell & Placement cell are major value additions to the college. Our batch saw a placement figure of 101 on the first day and I was successfully placed in TCS. I owe my success to GCEK, for it gave me the competitive edge, confidence and willpower to reach out to my dreams. And Yes, I miss GCEK!
Life at GCEK was indeed a breakthrough in my life. Experiences there moulded my career and personality. The activities - curricular and extra curricular- at the college gave me cutting edge knowledge on dealing various issues I have to come across in my daily professional life. Thanks to all my teachers, staff and the entire GCEK family, without whom, I couldn’t even dream of being an employee at MRF.
Proud to be GCEKian!!! Our college has all ingredients in its right mixture to transform a student into a valuable resource for humanity. Good faculty, staff, facilities, environment-friendly campus and the best neighbors. Friendly and caring locals prove that Kannur is not what the media and news portray.
It is with tremendous joy I am sharing about the opportunity provided by GCEK in fulfilling my dreams of becoming an independent working woman. I would like to use this medium to thank all the teachers and staff who had helped, encouraged and motivated me to give the best of my abilities towards the work I am doing and who had also helped me during the placement. GCEK brings the best of companies to its campus and trains the students to get placed in all of them. Thank you everybody once again for the same.
4 years in GCEK was indeed most colorful period of my life which helped in molding my personality. Here students are taught not only the lessons of engineering but also life. We have very good faculties and facilities which boost our curricular and extra curricular activities. IEEE and National Service Scheme were excellent platforms for me to work in a group and perform as a leader. Innovative ideas are always welcomed and encouraged. I thank everyone in GCEK for guiding me through the right path and I wish all success for its future endeavors.
I can positively say GCEK has made me a better person. It has helped me to develop a positive attitude towards my studies and discover more about myself. Teachers are very caring and interested in students’ well- being. They make sure every class is fun, educational and interactive. Life at GCEK was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life, not only because what I learn in class, but also I could meet many people from various backgrounds and knowledge. These experiences have shown to be of use both in my social life and professional life.
It gives me immense pleasure to recollect the wonderful days I spent at my Alma mater, Govt. College of engineering, Kannur. I owe everything to my college for what I am today. The campus continues to be a perennial source of energy for all of us. The abundance of love and care that the faculty showered on us can never be forgotten. The ambience was so fine that freedom of expression was the hall mark which gave us the confidence to speak our minds out. Now let us all be united in promoting the well being of this great institution which I am quite sure will scale new heights in the coming days
It is my pleasure to share with you that I got my career seeded from GCE Kannur in 2008. I am proud to say that I have done my graduation from one of the pioneering engineering institutions in kerala with good infrastructure and teaching facilities. With its hardwork and commitment, the college placement cells was able to bring many notable companies in IT and industries to the campus. Many students were placed in different companies at that time. I wish all the very best for my college and make them produce the best talents in the country."
Words cannot express my life at GCEK as it is far more beyond words. The learning culture I have undergone in GCEK really moulded my career and personality. The learning activities at GCEK have strengthened my technical knowledge which is really helpful in my professional life. I take this opportunity to thank all my teachers and staffs who made my life so colorful.
My time at GCEK was an experience I will cherish forever. I am very proud to be a GCEK’an. My college has given me a wonderful life with good career and motivation. One thing which comes to my mind when thinking about my college is the good learning environment. The library and the classrooms are more functional. The Friendly attitude of the staff and their willingness to always offer a helping hand has made me come out from my limitations which in turn helped me to get a job in a core company.
It gives me great pleasure to say with pride that I have completed my graduation from GCEK. The relationship between faculties and student is very cordial, which gave me an opportunity to excel in my area of interest. The four years spent here were splendid and has helped me to grow better professionally & personally. I would like to thank all the faculties and staff for making me a “Right Person” for the Right job and get into my dream career.
GCEK offers a blend of training, beautiful and friendly campus and integration of enduring principles. The relationship between faculties and students is very cordial which helps the students to excel in their area of interest and mould their career. Extremely hardworking placement cell gave us infinite opportunities for choosing our domains ahead. Literally I feel proud to be a GCEK ian.
I think most of us would be in a kind of dilemma after joining the B Tech course and running through the 4 years of wonderful journey, just because of thinking about getting a job, moreover a highly paid one. From my experience it's not only our academics plays a vital role in getting placed in a reputed company, but there are several other factors which contributes on the personal front. Everyone has a limit where people will get saturated and won't be able to think out of the box. What if someone is there to polish your thoughts and ideas and can act as a facilitator. I wish to address GCEK as a platform where students can express themselves and explore more on the technical aspects as well as on the morality side. The kind of support extended from the faculties was tremendous. Especially the proactive approach taken by the placement cell for personality reforming and for developing the competitive skills. Basically all these activities laid down a strong foundation for the gradual transition from a student to a professional. I am proud to be a GCEK’ian and wish all of them a very bright future!
