CET, a college with endless opportunities and possibilities

Dislikes

The academic schedule is very tight and stressful. From multiple exams being conducted on a same day to conducting exams on the next day of a public holiday

Fees and Financial Aid:

Tuition fees for the college is very less compared to any other engineering colleges in the country. The rate of increasing the tuition fees varies, it isn't a fixed increase. But if they are to increase they wouldn't increase it to more than 12k. The complete cost of my education would be around 50k. There are many scholarships being provided by the government, college alumni association and also private companies. All of them are based on the family income of the student.
