About ST THOMAS INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

St. Thomas Institute for Science and Technology (STIST), located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, was established in 2010 by the Mar Thoma Church Educational Society (MTCES). Spanning across a picturesque 20-acre campus in Kattaikonam, the institute has quickly emerged as a premier destination for engineering education in South Kerala. The college is affiliated with APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) and is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The primary vision of STIST is to establish a center of excellence that provides quality technical education while fostering ethical values and professional integrity in its students. The campus provides a serene atmosphere conducive to academic focus, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet remains well-connected to the IT hub of Kazhakkoottam. Academic excellence at STIST is supported by state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, a comprehensive central library, and a dedicated team of experienced faculty members. The institute offers undergraduate programs (B.Tech) in diverse fields including Computer Science, Civil, Mechanical, Agriculture, and Electronics engineering, alongside postgraduate specializations in Geotechnical Engineering. Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in technical fests like 'Yukthi', various professional bodies (IEEE, ISTE), and sports activities. The college also maintains a strong Career Guidance and Placement Cell (CGPC) which coordinates with major tech giants and core engineering firms to ensure high employability. With its commitment to holistic development, STIST continues to nurture the next generation of engineers who are not only technically proficient but also socially responsible citizens.
