Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines and among the most diverse in terms of the variety of applications. Mechanical Engineers apply the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices, operation and their maintenance. Under department of Mechanical Engineering, Division of Automobile Engineering and Division of Electrical Engineering are functioning. The department is offering B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering, B.Tech in Mechanical (Automobile) Engineering, M. Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Machine Design). All class rooms, labs and other facilities as stipulated by the AICTE/University is available at the department.
Vision of the Department:The department aspires to be a symbiotic learning space in Mechanical engineering in equilibrium with the development of mankind
Mission of the Department:The department is committed to nurture students in Mechanical Engineering by imparting knowledge and facilitating intellectual stimulus to analyze and innovate through fruitful interactions and synergistic activities, upholding ethical values

1. Mechanical Engineering
2. Mechanical (Automobile) Engineering
3. Mechanical (Production) Engineering
The scheme and syllabi as prescribed by the University of Kerala and more recently by the Kerala Technological University (KTU) of Kerala is followed for all courses.
The department maintains consistently high pass percentage in university examinations and bagged several top ranks throughout its existence. Mechanical, Automobile and Production engineering students of this college are active in various curricular and extra-curricular activities conducted on a national level and bagged several accolades.
The department is very keen on establishing linkages with industries and research institutes through student projects, expert talks, training programmes etc. The department took lead to come up with formal tie-ups through MOUs with few of these establishments. The tie-up TATA-ELXI for preparing students in the final year for job-readiness is among the one of this kind during the recent past. In addition to the above the faculty members took active interest to take part in different bodies/ committees established by the government and other agencies.
