The College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET) admits students primarily through the Kerala Engineering and Medical Entrance Examination (KEAM), requiring high ranks, typically under 2,000, with preference for ranks below 1,300 for circuit branches. Admission involves document verification, fee payment, and a multi-round allotment process. Students from Union Territories can apply via JEE Mains. CET is renowned for its excellent placement opportunities, attracting students for its strong academic reputation and vibrant cultural environment.
Diploma holders can join through a lateral entry exam. The faculty is highly qualified, with most holding advanced degrees and significant industry experience, although some lack effective teaching skills. The course structure is rigorous, with a recent change requiring a passing score of 50 out of 100, divided between internal and written exams. Fees are affordable due to government subsidies, with annual tuition approximately Rs 75,000, reduced for government entrance qualifiers.
Hostel fees range from Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,000 monthly. SC, ST, and OEC students are exempt from tuition and hostel fees, and various scholarships are available. CET boasts an impressive placement rate, with 80% of students securing jobs annually. Over 300 companies, including Amazon and Infosys, recruit from the campus, with salary packages reaching up to 50 LPA. The placement cell actively supports securing internships and placements, although on-campus internships are limited.
Scholarship opportunities are extensive, based on financial need and academic performance, with notable ones like the Central Sector Scholarship and Merit Cum Means for minorities. Total education cost is approximately Rs 2.5 lakhs over four years.
