Courses at our Kochi campus

Make the trip count

Batch dates are fixed well in advance, so a course booked from Coimbatore can be planned around rather than squeezed in. The Kochi campus sits inland in Ernakulam district, with Fort Kochi and the harbour on one side and the backwaters at Alappuzha and the hills at Munnar within a few hours' drive. Candidates who travel a long way often take a few extra days at either end. Ask the admissions team for the next batch dates and for help with accommodation before you book travel.

Getting here from Coimbatore

The campus is in Kizhakkambalam, in Ernakulam district. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport and the nearest major railway stations are Ernakulam Town and Ernakulam Junction, all within an easy drive of the campus. Tell the admissions team you are coming from Coimbatore and they will help you line the journey up with your batch dates.

Coimbatore is close to Kochi by road and rail across the Palakkad gap, with the journey to Ernakulam taking around four to five hours by train or bus. Most candidates travel down the day before a fixed batch start. Pre-sea students usually stay in the academy's campus hostel, while candidates on short courses typically take a lodge in Kochi or Aluva.
