B.Tech. in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2027

4.6

Good campus life at CET.

Placements: For the civil engineering branch there are relatively fewer placements. Top recruiting companies are L&T, Shobha Construction, South Indian Banks, etc. Internships also include industries like ULCCS, railway, PWD, etc. We can be part of different clubs like Indian Concrete Institute (ICI), the Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS), and the American Society of Civil Engineering ( ASCE).

Infrastructure: I am staying at the college ladies' hostel which has all the necessary facilities including a library and Wi-Fi. The quality of food is also nice compared to private hostels. Rooms are also spacious and the washrooms are also good. The ladies' hostel is well maintained by the hostel union committee of students.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are highly talented, qualified, and also PhD holders. The revised course curriculum is also very relevant as it includes miniprojects, software labs, etc. Series exams in college are relatively tougher compared to private colleges. University semester exams are moderately tough.

Other: The best thing is the exposure you get there. There are a lot of fests and events including the Freshers' Fest Odisha, the technical fest Drishti, the cultural fest Dhwani, and separate department fests.

Strong placements and great campus life at CET Trivandrum.

Placements: In my college, I was part of B.Tech civil engineering. Around 60-70% of students got placed in our course. The highest package is around 10 LPA. The lowest salary is 3.5 LPA. Top companies that are recruiting from civil are L&T, Afcons, TCS, and Shapoorji Pallonji.

Infrastructure: The civil department had good classrooms, drawing halls, and labs for structural, geotechnical, and environment studies. Wi-Fi is available in academic blocks. Hostels have decent rooms, regularly cleaned, and full-time water and electricity supply available.

Faculty: Most teachers in civil department are qualified and helpful. They explain concepts clearly and guide us in projects and labs. The syllabus is relevant, covering both theory and practical topics useful in industry. Pass percentage is usually around 85-90%.

Other: I heard that through this course, we got government jobs compared to other branches.

I am satisfied with college. It has a good atmosphere. There are good people around me.

Placements: 20 to 30% of students get placed in 2024. The highest package is around 13 LPA and the lowest package is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Shoba Construction and L&T. Almost every student in Civil gets internships at ULCSS. The top roles offered are chief civil engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: We have a separate library for the civil course. Advanced labs are there for civil. There is a good atmosphere to study. Wi-Fi connectivity is poor. The quality of food available in the mess is awesome. I will suggest every student to enter the college hostel. College gives importance to sports very much.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified but many teachers don't know how to deliver the content to students. They struggle to deliver the content that they intend to deliver. The new syllabus is very good. 2 semesters are for internship so it will make them ready for industry. The difficulty level of the semester examinations is not very high. If we study well, we can easily pass exams.

Other: I chose this college because it is the number one college in Kerala. Events organised in the college are one of the best.

The crowd and extracurricular activities are really good.

Placements: For Civil, the number of students getting placed is comparatively low. The highest package is 12 LPA, and the lowest package is 3–4 LPA. There are two top companies, one of which is Shoba Construction. These top companies take only 5–6 students at most, so approximately less than 20 students out of a total of 140 get placed in core companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel are really good. We have good lab facilities, a huge library, and a good Wi-Fi connection in the hostel. The hostel infrastructure is really good. We have a water purifier and are also allowed to take hot water from the mess. The food from our mess is good (especially for non-vegetarians). When it comes to sports, our hostel itself has three playgrounds for football, basketball, and volleyball. These facilities are even better and well-maintained.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, helpful, and experienced. The current curriculum is relevant, but I think it's better to improve your soft skills, and we do get enough time for that. To be honest, semester exams are manageable if you study seriously.

Other: I chose it because I like to draw buildings and related things. The best thing about this course is the amount of free time you get, and if used correctly, it will be a great boon for you. The only thing I wish could be better is the placements. For events, fests, crowds, scholarships, and extracurricular activities, don’t worry about anything. It’s one of the best colleges in my opinion.

Absolutely satisfied because of the placement provided to students and the really good facilities.

Placements: Our college provides placements to a large number of students across all engineering departments. Almost one-fourth of the students get placed through the college. The highest package this year was 36 lakh per annum. The top recruiting company for my course is Sobha Construction.

Infrastructure: The college is large compared to other colleges in Kerala. It is one of the richest in lab equipment and facilities. The college also has a large library, open to everyone, and provides hostel accommodations for both men and women at a nominal rate.

Faculty: The teachers are not very helpful, and the curriculum is not that relevant. It contains many unnecessary topics and doesn’t cover important subjects. It doesn't prepare students well. The semester exams are also very tough, and it's hard to complete them within the limited time provided.

Other: The best part of my course is the placement opportunities compared to other colleges. There are also a wide variety of clubs offering students exposure. The college hosts large events like Odisha, Drishti, and Dhwani.

Review of College of Engineering, Trivandrum.

Placements: Many of my classmates have been placed in various sectors as site engineers, project engineers, and assistant engineers. Many good companies have come to recruit students. A 2-week training is also provided within the last semester before appearing for the placement exam.

Infrastructure: The campus is quite large and spacious. A big library with all the necessary textbooks and Wi-Fi, with a spacious place to sit and study quietly, is also there. The campus is maintained neatly. The college also has a canteen and provides good unique dishes.

Faculty: Exams are conducted semester-wise. Teachers are helpful, friendly, and supportive. The teachers take classes according to the syllabus, and labs are also focused more on having practical knowledge. The faculty members also play an important role during the last semester for our project.

Other: This campus is filled with a variety of events and functions, all of which are good and enjoyable. The best college life ever.

Perfect atmosphere to learn, has excellent infrastructure, and good placement opportunities.

Placements: Almost all students studying in the college have secured a placement with a good salary. All major companies and core companies recruit students from the college. The major recruiting companies include Tesla and other high-profile ones with starting wages of at least 50k.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities, private and managed by the college, are available for students. The food quality is appreciable, and a gym and other facilities are open for students' smooth functioning. The hostels are well-maintained at palpable hygienic and well-mannered conditions.

Faculty: All teachers are highly qualified and have good knowledge of their subjects. They are friendly and helpful and arrange remedial classes if required. The course curriculum is relevant and makes the students industry-ready. However, the semester and series exams are challenging.
