About Us
Government Polytechnic College, Perinthalmanna was established in the year 1961 under the Directorate of Technical Education, Govt. of Kerala with a noble vision of empowering the people by offering good quality technical education. This Polytechnic College is approved by the AICTE, New Delhi and offers four diploma programs in engineering viz. Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics and Electronics engineering. This Polytechnic College is located at Angadippuram in Perinthalmanna Taluk, Malappuram District which is identified as one of the backward districts by the Govt. of Kerala. Situated near the Angadippuram railway station and by the National Highway 213, it is spread in 8.73 hectares (21.57 acres) of land of panoramic greenery. The Govt. Polytechnic College made a humble beginning in 1961 with three year diploma courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineering. The Electronics Engineering department was added later in 1987. In view of fifty seven years of exemplary performance, this college has become a centre of excellence and is one of the most reputed institutions in Kerala. Apart from the regular courses, add on courses and vocational courses are offered here.

Since 2017, a well equipped fitness centre has started functioning in the Department of Physical Education. The future is definitely foreseen by taking in to consideration the pitfalls and short comings of the present in order to avoid the same in the future. The needs of the present may be obsolete in the future. So only a vision that can inculcate the needs and aspiration of the future generation can help the polytechnic to have an abiding stance in the coming years in the realm of the technical know how of our country.
