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 overall environment here is great. Students coming from different backgrounds make us more capable of meeting new people who have different ideas and that makes things easier,apart from achieving technical greatness ,curtain clubs are here
These clubs gives opportunities to gain new skills and to showcase our existing skills, sports clubs are also present which will help improve skills in sports
Cultural clubs , technical clubs are also present here to aid in your interest

Placement Experience:

Upon reaching s7 students are invited for campus placement but they have to pass different criteria to become eligible for attending the interview, a minimum cgpa of 7.5 and academic skills a these are the basic requirements and an aptitude test will be given and in further selection these criteria are looked. I plan on pursuing a job after completing by btech. More than half the students in a batch are getting placed usually.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the curriculum covers key subjects like Python, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Deep Learning right from the early semesters. The inclusion of electives such as IoT, Cloud Computing, and NLP made it future-relevant and versatile.

Campus, comparing from nearby college this college had good visual beauty may be because of the college been part 2-3 movies. Visually the college are too good with nature

Dislikes

The Placement is weak as there is no opportunity to get a proper core based job from what you studied mainly job opportunities come from call centres which doesnt require Btech to study. This personally felt too sad to be here to get placed in core.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As of the college comes under Ktu syllabus it has already has demerits of the university. Curriculum basically doesnot provide a realworld application uses. Just creates a knowledge on the course (and thats doubt) We need to courses outside the college to get the core jobs outside

The college provides a good atmosphere to truly get a job in the competetive world if we are willing to work for it.
They heavily monitor attendance to make sure that you take your classes so that you perform well in your exams
The facilities provided by the college are good as there are several labs and workshops for hands-on experience

Dislikes

The campus life can get boring and it feels like we are in a rat race.
Some teachers can be a bit apathetic towards the students.
The number events that encourage social interactions in not many

Placement Experience:

The students are elegible for campus placements from the 7th semester and almost all students get placements provided they don't have any subject yet to clear at the time of placement. There are several companies that visit the college for recruiting including but not limited to TCS, CTS,etc,.

Placement Experience:

From the 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. So many companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Gst Global, etc. are visited for placements. These companies provide placement for all the branches of the college. 90 percent of the students get placements. I prefer to go for higher studies after getting the degree.

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
