Tkm College Of Engineering

If you take the bypass from Kollam towards Punular, you can’t really miss the campus. It’s been sitting there for years, and the buildings have that look of a place that’s seen thousands of people come and go. The walk from the main gate up to the engineering blocks can be a bit long when the sun is out, but there’s usually some shade under the older trees. It’s a loud place, not from machines, but from the constant chatter of students in the hallways and the sound of bells ringing between classes. The offices for the staff are tucked away in various corners, some with old wooden fans that have been spinning since before most of the current students were born. We spend a lot of time dealing with paperwork, schedules, and the general chaos that comes with a big school. It’s not the most modern-looking place in every wing, but it has a certain character that you don't find in the newer buildings in the city. The canteen is always crowded, and the smell of fried snacks usually drifts across the courtyard in the late afternoon. On rainy days, the whole place feels a bit damp, and students huddle under the walkways to stay dry. It’s just a busy, lived-in institution where everyone is trying to get through their day and learn something along the way. We’ve seen many changes over the years but the routine stays similar.
