With a KEAM rank of 19,816, you have a fair chance of getting admission in decent government or aided engineering colleges in Kerala, especially in branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electronics and Communication. Getting Computer Science in top-tier colleges like CET Trivandrum or GEC Thrissur may not be possible, but you can definitely target good colleges like Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, College of Engineering Cherthala, or Government Engineering College Idukki.

These colleges offer reasonable placement opportunities and their annual fees usually stay within 50,000, especially for government quota seats. Make sure to participate in all rounds of counselling and keep your choices broad to increase your chances.
