Commonly asked questions
On Cutoffs

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

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.

Why you should explore the amazing campus life that CET is offering.

Placements: The college places a lot of its students at prestigious companies. The placement percentage is roughly 25%. The highest package is 12 LPA. The lowest is 6 LPA. The top recruiting companies are SOBHA Construction and Galadhari. Almost 80% of students get internships in my course. Most are in public departments, and some are in IITs and NITs. The top roles offered are Site Engineer, Design Engineer, Project Manager, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities are excellent. In fact, the best among the government engineering colleges in Kerala. Labs and classrooms are really good. I do not know much about the hostel as I am a day scholar. But I can say that I cannot guarantee the best experience from the hostels.

Faculty: Faculty members are all helpful and qualified. Some might not always succeed in making us understand the concepts. Most of them strive to bring out the best in students. Curriculum was revamped recently. Its effectiveness cannot be proven yet. The semester exams are of moderate toughness. The college has the highest pass percentage this year.

Other: The college can give you the best college experience and campus life. It provides exposure to a broad technical spectrum and increases your access to workshops and events.

Best engineering college under KTU with Kerala Rank 1.

Placements: The College of Engineering provides various placement opportunities. Most students get placed, and others opt for higher studies and research. It is one of the best colleges under KTU that offers a large number of placements in Kerala. The Career Guidance and Placement Unit (CGPU) is available for any kind of help.

Infrastructure: This course, Industrial Engineering, comes under the Mechanical Engineering department. The college has a large technical library facility with more than one lakh books. Hostel facilities are available nearby. All kinds of facilities are provided. Hence, it is one of the best.

Faculty: Teachers are mainly IIT and NIT graduates. They are also good researchers and hold patents. They are really helpful. The 2024 curriculum under KTU is followed now. It consists of more relevant courses. The new curriculum focuses more on application rather than theory.

Other: This college consists of various famous fests like Dristi, Dhwani, Odisha, etc. It is one of the campuses with many fests. There are many other things to explore here.

I studied in college with a fee concession.

Placements: Literally, there are low grades for placements for all courses in our college. Almost 32 to 40 percent of students got placed in various MNCs and got connected with the college. The highest salary offered to the hired candidates ranges between 6-8.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: College is elevated to the next level by introducing various courses. The one thing I got disappointed by the college is their sudden rules and provoking mannerisms by the respective authorities. Otherwise, the college shows its participation in all activities and supports students with the same.

Faculty: Faculty members fix a time period for everything, like when to start the class, marking attendance, and all other things. Faculty members make a course curriculum highly oriented to the industry. With the continuous coaching and mentoring of the faculty members, up to 73 -80 percent of students can pass in the semester results.

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.

The best college in Kerala, which has absolutely good facilities and good faculty members.

Placements: Companies like MRF and other mechanical companies often come here to recruit students, so acquiring skills will help us secure a good position in a company. Internships are also provided. With a high CGPA, we will be able to get internships in good companies.

Infrastructure: The food provided by the hostel mess is amazing. Everything in the college can be used until 9 PM. Wi-Fi and other playgrounds are well-maintained. The hostel is provided for students from any branch.

Faculty: Every faculty member will help and lead us without any hesitation. Any difficulties can be solved by advisors. The whole syllabus makes students industry-ready and also knowledgeable enough to survive in the world. They offer a better network to build our startup.

Other: I chose this branch because of my interest in the mechanical world. There are enough fests, activities, etc., that will be carried out throughout the whole year.

The cutoff changes every year. It depends on how many students apply and how many seats are open. Government colleges close at higher scores than private ones. Category and gender quotas also change the cutoff. Check last year's CAP round cutoffs to get a rough idea, then aim a little higher.
