The Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program at the College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET) requires candidates to apply for the KEAM entrance exam and take the NATA exam. Admission is merit-based with quotas for special categories, processed through Kerala's single window system. The college is known for its excellent faculty, with a student-faculty ratio of about 1:10 in architecture. CET's fee structure is affordable—tuition is 25,000 rupees per trimester, totaling 1,50,000 rupees, with a maximum annual fee of 10,000 rupees.
Various scholarships, including the Kerala government's E-grant, are available to assist students. The college provides strong placement opportunities for engineering students, with top recruiters like Google and Microsoft, offering average packages of 25 lakhs per annum, going up to 45 lakhs. However, architecture students must seek placements independently, with average packages around 12 lakhs and highs of 32 lakhs, and about 50% securing placements. Internships are mandatory, lasting two semesters, and can be pursued nationally or internationally.
CET's affordability and scholarship options make it accessible, although architecture students may incur additional costs.
