Good infrastructure, facilities, and faculty members. Good placements as of 2024 and 2025.
Placements: I am from the 2025 batch, Mechanical Engineering. I have completed my first semester here. I have communicated with a lot of seniors. As I have talked to them, from the Mechanical Engineering branch, more than 50 percent of students get placed from every batch. And for other branches like CSE and ECE, there are a good amount of placements too. The highest package is 40 LPA for the college.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure, and all the lab facilities are available here. Course-related facilities are well provided. Most of the classrooms have Wi-Fi access. There is a central computation facility where there are a lot of computers, and it is accessible for all the students from 9 am–9:30 pm on all working days. Men’s hostel has good facilities including washing machines. Food is also provided for all the inmates.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and experienced. I would not say that about all the faculty members, but most of them are good. Sincerity is seen in most of the faculty members. The curriculum is a bit hard to catch up with but is manageable if you keep in touch with the academic side. There are two series exams, lab exams, and end semester exams. Series exams are a bit tough to make sure we have good knowledge of the subjects.
Other: I chose Mechanical Engineering because I have a good interest in machines and developments. It has a lot of practical work, and all such lab facilities are available here. I would like if the college had more technical facilities. Good events have been conducted at college at the time of fresher’s events. And I am still at my 2nd semester, and more is yet to come.

Overall, CET is very much value for money with good placements and exposure.
Placements: Almost 60–70 percent of students get placed, with the lowest package of 1 LPA and the highest of almost 44 LPA. CET is considered to have good placements. The number of placements offered for CS is the highest, followed by EEE, and then ECE. The average package of CET is around 7-7.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure can be considered good, though not the best. Newer buildings are coming up. Wi-Fi is good, and the college has a good library and an indoor stadium. Labs and workshops are a little old, but for the fees, the college is very much worth it. Overall, CET stands neutral in terms of infrastructure and hostel facilities.
Faculty: Faculty members have very good backgrounds. We have teachers from IIT KGP, IIT Delhi, IISc Bangalore, etc., who are well established and provide us with good exposure. However, the university KTU is not very good. Exams are easy. The curriculum is good, and the pass percentage is around 95 percent.

A strong engineering programme with great campus life.
Placements: Many ECE students get placed in core or IT companies but average placement packages tend to be more modest. Around 5 LPA–6 LPA for those placed through regular placement drives (excluding high offers) in some years. CET offers excellent placement opportunities for ECE students, with a mix of high-paying core roles and strong IT placements. Students who build good technical skills and project experience often secure top offers.
Infrastructure: Well-equipped laboratories: For engineering branches including ECE, CET provides departmental labs and technical facilities for practical and research work. These include the Communication Engineering Lab, Digital Electronics / DSP Lab, Microprocessor & Microcontroller Lab, and VLSI & Embedded Systems Lab. These labs have modern equipment like CROs, function generators, FPGA kits, DSP kits, and relevant simulation software.
Faculty: The ECE department at CET has a mix of experienced professors and associate professors covering a broad range of specializations including communications, signal processing, optical communications, VLSI/microelectronics, embedded systems, robotics, and biomedical electronics.
Other: Students participate in events like hackathons, ideathons, and project expos. These clubs help build real-world skills beyond the classroom.

Q:   Can I get into College of Engineering Trivandrum with 70% in CMAT?
A: 

It might not be easy to get into the College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET) with a 70% Common Management Aptitude Test (CMAT) score because CET mainly offers undergraduate engineering and technology degrees. The CMAT is a nationally recognised admission test for management schools. Although it could indicate your ability for management studies, it has no bearing on your eligibility for CET's engineering programs.

With a CMAT score of 70%, there isn't a direct admissions route into CET's engineering programs; nevertheless, you might want to look into other choices, such management programs at CET or other universities, or getting a management degree and applying to engineering programs later. 

It is imperative to acknowledge that the material supplied is broad in nature. For the most precise and current information, one should refer to the official rules and regulations of CET and other pertinent institutions.

Q:   What are the factors affecting College of Engineering, Trivandrum cutoff 2023?
A: 

The KEAM 2023 cutoff is made public in the form of the minimal scores needed by applicants to be admitted to Kerala's engineering institutions. Candidates who meet the requirements under the KEAM result of 2023 are admissible. The availability of seats, the total number of applications submitted, the difficulty level of KEAM 2023, and trends in the KEAM cutoff from the previous year are only a few of the variables that the authorities take into account when deciding the KEAM 2023 cutoff. Through counseling, places are only provided to individuals who meet the KEAM 2023 threshold grades.
