N.S.Parasuraman - Education


I had my whole education in Kerala. I had the opportunity to witness the transformation of the original Cochin State to Travancore-Cochin State and later to the Kerala State in 1956.This was also a period of change from the Maharaja rule to the present democratic set up.

I had my education in the following institutions :

Passed SSLC in 1956 from St. Antony's High School,Pudukad
Passed Pre-University in 1957 from Sree Kerala Varma College, Trichur.
Passed Pre-Professional (Engineering) from Maharaja's College, Ernakulam.
Passed B.Sc.Engineering (Mechanical) from the Government Engineering College, Thrissur, in 1962, affiliated to the Kerala University. .

I was subjected to many innovations in the education field:

When I was promoted from the 4th Standard, the Government abolished the earlier Preparatory Class and I could go directly to the 5th Standard, thereby saving one year of studies.
When I passed the SSLC, the Pre-University system was introduced in the colleges, removing the earlier Intermediate system of 2 years.
My batch was the first from the Trichur Engineering College.That time there were only 3 branches- Civil, Mechanical and Electrical.
