Hey there!

To get into any of the government colleges in Kerala, you will have to write KEAM. Qualify the examination with decent score and satisfy the admission criteria. If you do not satisfy the admission criteria, you still have a chance to get there with a special quota called management quota where you will have to pay for the seat along with the tution fee. 

Hope this helped you 

Thank you and keep asking:)
