About LBS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR WOMEN

LBS Institute of Technology for Women (LBSITW), Poojappura, established in 2001, holds the distinction of being the first engineering college exclusively for women in the state of Kerala. Managed by the LBS Centre for Science and Technology, a premier government-run agency, the institute was founded to bridge the gender gap in technical education and empower women to lead in the global engineering landscape. Located in a prime residential area of Thiruvananthapuram, the college offers a safe, secure, and academically rigorous environment. It is approved by AICTE and affiliated with the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU), with its primary departments—Computer Science, IT, and Electronics—holding prestigious NBA accreditation. The college offers a range of undergraduate B.Tech programs and postgraduate M.Tech programs, consistently attracting some of the top-ranking female students in the KEAM entrance examination. LBSITW is renowned for its academic excellence, often securing multiple university ranks and high pass percentages. The campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a Centralized Computing Facility, specialized research labs, and a comprehensive digital library. The institution fosters a culture of innovation through its active Innovation & Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC) and a dedicated Fab Lab, encouraging students to participate in national-level hackathons and technical competitions. Student life at LBSITW is vibrant, characterized by a strong sense of community and leadership. The college hosts several professional society chapters, including a highly active ACM-W (Association for Computing Machinery - Women) and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) branch. The annual technical and cultural festival, 'YVIDHA', is a major event that celebrates the diverse talents of the students. The Training and Placement Cell is exceptionally strong, maintaining a consistent track record of placing students in Tier-1 multinational corporations like Amazon, Oracle, and Walmart Global Tech. With its strategic urban location, government-backed infrastructure, and a focus on holistic development, LBSITW remains the top choice for aspiring female engineers in 2026.
