Courses at our Kochi campus

Make the trip count

Batch dates are fixed well in advance, so a course booked from Visakhapatnam 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 Visakhapatnam

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 Visakhapatnam and they will help you line the journey up with your batch dates.

Visakhapatnam is a considerable distance from Kochi, and candidates usually fly, often with a change at a hub city, with the total journey taking around five to seven hours door to door. As batch dates are fixed, it is worth booking the connecting flight well in advance. Pre-sea candidates generally stay in the academy's hostel on campus, while short-course candidates usually find a lodge in Kochi or Aluva.
