CET Trivandrum Hostel Fees 2025, Facilities, Rooms, Food, Photos

The college offers separate hostels for boys and girls, accommodating approximately 1000 male and 500-700 female students. The men's hostel is located outside the campus, while the ladies' hostel is inside. Accommodation is generally shared between 2-4 students per room. The monthly hostel fee is around Rs. 200-400 for rent and Rs. 2000-3500 for the mess, which includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Priority for hostel admission is based on income and distance from home, making it difficult for local students to secure a spot.

The hostels provide essential facilities such as gyms, sports courts, Wi-Fi, and a mess run by students, ensuring a variety of good-quality, affordable meals. Despite limited availability, the hostels are known for their excellent food and reasonable costs compared to private hostels, which can range up to Rs. 6000 per month. The infrastructure is well-maintained, offering a conducive environment for student life. However, there are complaints about maintenance and food quality in some cases.

College of Engineering, Trivandrum-top 1 engineering college in Kerala

I live in a neraby rented house where I share my expenses with ten others. The house has a total of four rooms two bathrooms, a kitchen and a hall. Each rooms have two to three study tables and chairs, three beds and cupboards. The accommodation rent is 2000 with another 500 for Wifi, water and electricity. There is one government hostel girls and boys separately inside the college campus where students get allotted based on their annual income and how far they come from. These government hostels are the most affordable since it only has a total fee of around 3500 for food and all other expenses. There are also many other affordable private hostels and PGs available around the college. For students staying at rented houses or hostels with no mess facilities, there are many nearby food messes available in affordable rents where students get meals three times a day at considerable rates.

CET- The dream engineering college of Keralites.

The college has its own hostel for boys and girls which select students who are far away and having less annual income. This hostels are very affordable since only 3,000-3,500 is charged every month for the mess facilities, water, electricity and room rent. The rooms are clean enough but the corridors and toilets may not be always clean. The food provided is comparatively good to other government hostels with a decent menu. There are also many other affordable hostels and PG nearby the college.

My VIEW

Good facility infrastructured hostels. Cleaning is done everyday,rooms are adjustable for 3 to 4 students. Give better surroundings for studying. Menu is adjustable ,they have different meal plans for different day. Sometimes they are better and sometimes average.

The best institution where you can excel.

Dislikes

The amenities can be improved and maintained more.
The facilities like number of washrooms can be increased.

The college has both mens and ladies hostel with a capacity of 750 students for ladies and 400 for mens. The ladies hostel has both 4 sharing and 5 sharing rooms. As for mens they have 2 sharing rooms. The hostel provides a variety menu with quality and taste just fine . The hostel is very affordable but the allotment is given priority to students with low income and larger distance. There are also pg's near to the college
