Kerala's tracked list is led by state universities and colleges rather than private institutes — a different balance from most other states here. NIT Calicut, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, and IIT Palakkad carry the state's NIRF-ranked share.
JoSAA covers NIT Calicut, IIT Palakkad and Kerala's IIIT seat; the state's other institutes admit largely through Kerala's own engineering entrance route, and IIST runs a dedicated national entrance exam of its own. We show each institute's specific pathway on its profile.
