Entrance Preview

Kerala Engineering Entrance is required to get admission to CET. I got an entrance rank of 479. Even though i would have got Mechanical or Electronics branches (General seat), i chose Computer Science branch because i liked it more. I chose this college because it is the number one college in Kerala after NIT kozhikode.

Course Curriculum Overview

The University is kerala university. Syllabus is almost similar to other universities. All the teaching faculties are old and experienced. They are well qualified. They are only few guest lecturers even though in computer science branch. You can clear all your doubts with this faculty.

Internships Opportunities

I didnt go for any internship. Eventhough internship facilities are available, Students should find it themselves and go for it. Some companies call for internships from CET, interested candidates can go.No stipend was given to any of my friends.

Placement Experience

4.5

The placement cell is very active here. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, CTS, TCS, Oracle, IBM, HCL etc have come here, since it is the best college in kerala. Normal salary range is between 3-4lakhs per annum. Almost all students who dont have huge backlogs will get placed.

College Events

4.5

The biggest festival here is the arts fest called DHWANI. It is conducted every year. There are also tech fests done every 2 years called DRISHTI .These are huge fests that a lot of students from different colleges come to participate in kerala. All of you can participate. Its a tight competition to win.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college have a lot of scholarships from PTA fund, college fund etc. The govt fees per year is 6500 per year.Top ranked students admitted to college will get free of fees. You can also apply for other scholarships like merit cum means, PM scholarship etc. Loan facilities are as per bank standards.

Campus Life

This college has a very old campus but beautiful. Boys are greater than girls in this college.There are a lot of students wandering in colour dresses since various courses like M.tech are offered here. Labs are good. Extracurricular activities are encouraged. Sports and arts are held every year. If you have some talent they give the support to develop it but you have go after it and ask permissions.They wont come after you.

Alumni/Alumna

Successfull alumni students are called and will have discussions with the current students. There is an alumni fund also. College seniors do rag juniors. Not in a serious way and not in an easy way. They will become friendly later. Anti ragging cell is present there.

Likes

College was at a beautiful place. It was not a city but a beautiful place.
Hostel was great. I got many friends from there.
These are the only things that I can think of.

Dislikes

Teachers, they are horrible one one teacher named aparna was professional and ethical. My HOD was the worst.
Principal is the worst. She does not hear students side. She is money minded. I had a fee pending for not more than 2 week. When I went to her for signing my medical report she demanded that she will sign only after I paid that fee
The college does not encourage extra curricular activities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is the worst. Teachers rush through the portions so that they can finish at the earliest. It may be because the university has a unjustifiable timetable. There is very little practicals given. The ones that are given are just for namesake.

Decent infrastructure. hostel infrastructure is also clean and better than most colleges

Dislikes

Very poor campus life. No importance for cultural programmes and activities
Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.
Very low packages for average students. Placement training is regularly being provided, but it is too hectic to be managed along with curriculum.

Placement Experience:

students become eligible for placements after sixth semester. Major companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, e.t.c are recruiters. about 5-10 students are recuited on average by these companies. highest package was offered by south indian bank in 2023 (10 LPA). average packges are around 2 to 3 LPA.

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

Review of TOC H institute of science and technology

Likes

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

Likes

When it comes to the campus life, I enjoyed all the 4 years
The infrastructure was okayish Could've improved.
The faculty was really friendly and I was able to approach them without any hesitation.

Dislikes

The road from the junction to the college is not at all maintained. Students coming up the hill find it very difficult to reach college
The bus fees are increased every year. But these people can't find a way to provide seats for the students after paying their bus fee.
Some other campus offer many varieties of food in their canteen. This has to be done here too

Placement Experience:

The students usually start appearing for campus placements in their 6th semester. The training for the campus placements is started for all the students from the 4th semester. Many companies visited for campus placements. But one main problem is that most of them were low packages. Around 4LPA. Some were between 4-6 and a very few between 6-10. Most of them got placed in our batch in some company.

Life at CET

This college is the best government college in Kerala. It has been consistently first in KIRF ranking. It has very cheap fees. The campus is very beautiful and spacious (about 200 acres). My best choice of colleges very IITs and NITs like most people. I couldn't crack JEE. I only applied to this college because I had very high ranking in KEAM exam and was confident of acceptance. KEAM exam is a lot easier to crack than JEE. It has basic higher secondary school syllabus. To get my course you would have to be around 700th rank. To get other courses in my college you can have rank as low as 20k....Read More
