'''Karicode''' or '''Karikodu''' is a neighbourhood of [[Kollam]] city in [[India]]. It is about 5 km away from [[Kollam]] city centre. Karicode is the 23rd ward in [[Kollam Municipal Corporation]] council.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kollamcorporation.gov.in/council |title=Councils - Kollam City Corporation |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref> The place is very famous because of the educational institutions by TKM Group(Thangal Kunju Musaliar Group). [[Thangal Kunju Musaliar College of Engineering, Kollam|Thangal Kunju Musaliar College of Engineering]] in [[Kollam]] is the first self-financing engineering college in [[Kerala]] state. The college, established in 1958, is to be considered as the pioneers in engineering education in Kerala.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tkmce.ac.in/ |title=TKMCE |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref> TKM Arts & Science college is also situated at Karicode.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tkmcas.ac.in/Website/ContactUs.html |title=TKM Arts & Science College |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref>

==Importance==
Karicode is one among the cashew processing hubs of [[Kollam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cashewindia.org/php/exporters_directory.php?listing_per_page=3&page=71 |title=CEPCI - Kollam |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref> It was a part of Kilikollur panchayath before. Kilikollur has the maximum number of cashew processing factories in [[India]]. When [[Kollam]] Municipality was upgraded as city corporation in the year 2000, Karicode also merged with [[Kollam]] along with [[Kilikollur]].<ref>[http://jnnurm.nic.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/16-Kollam-Draft-Report.pdf] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714182244/http://jnnurm.nic.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/16-Kollam-Draft-Report.pdf |date=14 July 2014 }} Rapid Baseline Assessment - Kollam City</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20140903133118/http://www.thehindu.com/2004/11/26/stories/2004112603510500.htm] Residents' associations hail UDF panel decision - ''The Hindu''</ref>
The congested [[National Highway 208 (India)|National Highway]] stretch passing through Karicode is making the place a traffic black-spot in Kollam city. So many accidents happened in Karicode area because of the congested, under developed NH stretch.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/six-engineering-students-killed-in-road-accident/article6745696.ece |title=Six engineering students killed in road accident - ''The Hindu'' |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref>

[[Kilikollur railway station]] is situated in Karicode.

[[Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited]] is planning to provide high-speed [[Wi-Fi]] hotspot in Karicode, considering the importance of the place as a major educational hub in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/BSNL-Braces-to-Win-Back-the-Lost-Ground/2015/07/13/article2916918.ece |title=BSNL Braces to Win Back the Lost Ground - TNIE |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kollam-to-have-20-bsnl-wifi-hotspots/article7401623.ece |title=Kollam to have 20 BSNL Wi-Fi hotspots - ''The Hindu'' |access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref>
