Hi,

Yes, you can. There are various private engineering colleges in Kerala that reserves seat for direct admission. These reserved seats come under management quota. Management quota seats are for those who have good marks in physics, chemistry and mathematics but low rank in KEAM. Each college have their separate eligibility criteria for admission. To get admission under management quota contact the admission office for details.

The donation fee varies from college to college. Higher your marks lesser will be the donation fee. It is advisable to appear for KEAM and get low marks than not appearing for the exam at all.

I hope it helps.
