Strategic Pilot Plan for Reimagining Engineering Education in Kerala: Improving Pass Percentage and Learning Outcomes

Dr. Raji Rajan

Abstract: Kerala, known for its high literacy rate and educational advancements, faces a pressing challenge in technical education: the consistently low pass percentage in engineering colleges. This paper presents a comprehensive 10-point strategic framework designed to revitalize technical education by emphasizing curriculum modernization, active pedagogy, continuous assessment, mentoring, and institutional reforms. To validate the framework, a pilot implementation plan is proposed, targeting measurable improvements in student learning outcomes and institutional effectiveness. The pilot aims to serve as a scalable model for broader educational reform across Kerala?s engineering colleges. By integrating evidence-based practices and stakeholder involvement, the framework aspires to enhance academic performance, employability, and long-term educational impact.
