Entrance Preview

KEAM, 496/980 One of the best colleges in kerala. The place TRIVANDRUM is quite a nice place and suitable to pursue studies. Also this college has good placement units and faculties.

Course Curriculum Overview

It's okay. Curriculum is not properly on focus. As the university has changed from my year there has been no proper curriculum. Textbooks and subjects have changed and all the curriculum details are a bit jumbled up. It is a let down for my years as we have to continue with these problems.

Internships Opportunities

I dont think the college offers internship. Most of us had to go to companies outside and try for internships.

College Events

3.5

Our college is famous for our cultural and technical fest dhwani and drishti. But the last year I've been here I wasn't able to see these events. These fests leave a well built platform for people from different places to come and participate . it is quite a feat for the eyes.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The college fee structure is really feasible as it's a government college. It's about 9000 rs per year including everything. The major part goes for the university fee. The college fees for reserved categories are free. It's quite feasible for the communities.

Fees and Financial Aid

The scholarships availed by the students here are mostly by the government and other organizations. The college just acts as a medium of support. Like egrants and all. Also there are lots of scholarships to be availed by students out of lack of knowledge.

Campus Life

The campus is quite beautiful and peaceful. It is quite nice to roam around the campus at all times. As there are numerous trees in the campus. It's quite nature friendly. The sea ratio is quite 1:1 as there are lots of students from both sexes. Numerous diversities in religion still students go in harmony and good friendships.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel facilities in the Men's hostel of CET is quite good. Spacious rooms for two people. And ample electricity and water for personal purposes. Also the architecture is quite a feat for our personal comfort. The mess is run by the students itself leaving it to have good food with l feasible mess bill.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The CETAA is quite a helpful alumni association as they have let a lot of programs to run smoothly with proper funding. But still it is quite poor compared to other colleges.

Exam Structure

Our university has changed from the previous one. So the timetable of the exams are put forward by them. Till now it's quite okay as we have ample time to study. Lab exams are also done in a good way. It is quite chilled out in this college. Leaving students time to study and prepare well.

Admission

Applied online in the KEAM site. Got a selection of colleges to choose. Chose CET and IE branch. Then filled out required forms and submitted on the first allotment date at the college. We had to wait our turn to submit all our school certificates. After submitting we had to pay the fees for the year and some deposits.

Faculty

2.5

CET is a reputed college in kerala and they are said to have good faculties. But after a year and half there are teachers who come out of the passion of teaching and some who come to do it as a side business. Faculties are poor considering the college status.

The campus is well maintained and is clean
Teachers are willing to give individual attention if needed

Dislikes

Lack of campus life as college is strict
Majority of the staff members are the type to hold a grudge against you
Spoon feeding students and not allowing them to think and improvise accordingly

Students are eligible for campus placements from semester 6 onwards. But campus placement for civil engineering is fairly low. But companies like Aarbee Structures Pvt Ltd has offered jobs for my mates

Is engineering here worth it?

Likes

All the teachers are well qualified and equipped to teach but the quality of teaching differs as per individual.

Dislikes

The say of students in matters concerning them or others is nil. We have very little say as the management takes all decisons.
Teachers have ego and superiority issues between themselves which might affect the children in 4th year,project phases.
Fests,events and functions are not upto any expectations.Schools in trivandrum have better events than our college.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible from 7th semester to sit for interviews. The pod.ai app helps us in making the resume and calculating a cgpa to appear for the intwrviews. The pod.ai registration fees is 500?. Companies such as nissan,infosys,commandtech,bimlabs,gulfasia etc has visited . And the highest package was 11 LPA and lowest was 3 LPA

My College Review

Likes

The teachers here are very friendly and very helpful
The climate here is also very peacefull and very good atmosphere to study
The students here are from everywhere so there is a big diversity in the culture

Dislikes

There is a lack of public transportation system like railway station here
There are lots of insects and others things here which is very disturbing during summer season
The main problem the students here are going through is the bad quality of hostel food that we get here

Placement Experience:

Our college is a NAAC accredited college and lots of companies come here to recruit our students . Last year one of a students who studied here got a really big placement of 48 lakhs per annum and there is a placement cell available here in the campus which tries to get all the students placement like these !!

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.

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

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
