CET Trivandrum Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: The teachers here know their stuff, but they're not super helpful. The teaching is okay, but you gotta do a lot on your own. Don't expect them to hold your hand, even for labs and workshops. The classes cover useful stuff. Exams aren't too tough, and most students pass with flying colors.

Placement: The job offers here range from 3.3 LPA to 36 LPA, with Texas Instruments giving the highest package. I see a lot of students getting placed in non-core companies, but the top ones in my field are TI, Bosch, and Schneider Electric. TCS is at the lower end with mass hiring.

Campus: The college has two libraries: one for the department and one for the whole college. The college library is bigger and has more books and stuff. You can get Wi-Fi in every class, but you gotta sign up your device first. And there's Wi-Fi in other places around campus too.

Admission: The teachers aren't too helpful, and the curriculum doesn't really relate to real life. There are too many useless topics, and they miss out on the important stuff. It doesn't get us ready for the real world. The exams each semester are really hard, and there's not enough time to finish them.

Placement: I'm happy with the placements at our college. Lots of students from all engineering departments get jobs. About a quarter of us land jobs through the college. This year, the highest package was 36 lakhs per year. For my course, Sobha Construction is the top company for hiring.

Campus: This college is pretty big compared to other colleges in Kerala. They have a ton of lab equipment and cool facilities. The library is huge and open for everyone. And if you need a place to stay, they've got hostels for guys and girls at a cheap price.

Admission: The teachers here know their stuff, all with Ph.D. degrees. The course content is spot-on, and exams are challenging but fair. They really help you out when you need it. Plus, almost everyone passes  like 97% of students!

Placement: The College of Engineering in Trivandrum rocks when it comes to placements in Kerala. Every department here gets good companies for placements. But the Computer Science department is the bomb with the best pay. In 2023, the highest pay was 15 LPA, while the average was 5 LPA.

Campus: The college has really awesome labs and you can get free Wi-Fi anywhere on campus. Plus, there's a gym, volleyball court, basketball court, and a cricket ground for staying active. The hostel serves up some tasty food too.

Admission: The teachers here are a mix - some are great, some not so much. But there are some real gems who are super helpful. They're all pretty smart, but not all of them are great at teaching. The courses are okay, but each semester is kinda short, only about 3-3.5 months. It's not too bad for me, but a lot of my friends find it tough.

Placement: About half of students land jobs after college, while others pursue more education or don't find jobs right away. The highest salary offered on campus was around 39 LPA, snagged by a senior. The lowest package might be around 4-5 LPA, I think. Texas is the top hiring company for our department.

Campus: The facilities and buildings are pretty average, nothing special. The Wi-Fi is super slow and the classrooms are just okay. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible either. I don't live in the college dorms, I stay off-campus as a paying guest. But from what I've heard from other students living on campus, the rooms are decent and the food is better than what you'd get at other places.

Admission: The teachers are really good and know their stuff. The classes have lots of assignments all the time. Exams are mostly okay, but the theory of structures is tough. Keep an eye on that one. Don't expect too much. It's like a roller coaster with ups and downs. But overall, it's better than a lot of private colleges.

Placement: I'm not too sure about placements, but I've heard they're just okay for our course. Placements seem a bit low for our group. Around 15 out of 40 students land jobs each year. I'd say about 30% of students get placed, but in architecture, most of us aren't really aiming for jobs after graduation.

Campus: The college campus is pretty old, but the facilities are cool. I live off-campus, but I've heard mixed things about the hostel some parts are nice, others not so much. The washrooms in my department could be better, but the classrooms are fine. There's a department library and store, but it takes forever to get stuff from there.

Admission: The teachers at this college are super smart and know their stuff. They help with any questions right away. The teaching in this course is top-notch. It's a 3-year course with 4 to 6 exams each semester, totaling 900 marks.

Placement: The college arranges placements every year for around 40% of students. Companies offer good salary packages ranging from 3 to 5 Lacs. Lots of IT companies also offer internships at the college.

Campus: The college has great facilities and offers high-quality products. The food at the canteen is delicious and has a lot of variety. The sports committee organizes sports tournaments and cultural events which are fun for everyone.

Admission: The new curriculum is a big improvement with fresh skills to learn. They added more practical subjects which is great. The teachers all come from top colleges and really know their stuff. Some are good at teaching, others not so much. But the curriculum does help us learn skills that are useful in the industry. Haven't taken the semester exam yet, but it's scheduled for December 31, 2024.

Placement: I'm taking Electrical and Computer Engineering at my college, and it's a new course that started in 2024 with around 60 students. Since we're the first batch, we don't know much about placements yet. People are hoping that with our computer skills, we'll get better jobs than students in other courses like Electrical and Electronics. Right now, companies are hiring based on our individual skills, so it's hard to predict. Our department is Electrical, and big companies like Oracle, Schneider, and Texas Instruments come for placements. They offer an average salary of 15-20 Lacs per year. So far, one student got a job at Oracle, a few at Schneider, and many at TCS. We're still waiting for more top companies to come to our college.

Campus: The classrooms don't have Wi-Fi yet, but the library has it. The labs work fine, but they could use some upgrades. Classrooms are okay. I like both the department library and the college library. They're good places to study.

Admission: The teachers here are really smart and know their stuff, but sometimes they're not the best at explaining things. You might have to study on your own to really get it. Mostly, going to class is just to show you're there. Our course covers both engineering and management, which is cool. The exams are okay, not too hard. And most people pass, around 87% or more.

Placement: I really liked my course because about 60% of us got placed in our college. The highest salary was around 25 LPA, the lowest was 6 LPA, and the average was 12 LPA. Companies like Shoba Construction and Renault hired a lot of us. Also, around half of us got internships at places like Cochin Shipyard. It's a great opportunity!

Campus: The classrooms all have Wi-Fi, which is great. They are really well-built and have good facilities. There are a bunch of computer labs and a huge library with tons of books on engineering. It's super helpful for studying and doing well in your courses.

Admission: The teachers really know their stuff and are great at explaining things. The syllabus is kinda outdated, but they've got a new one for freshers now. Some students don't put in the effort, so the pass rate is just okay. The semester tests can be tough, but they're not impossible.

Placement: Our college is seeing more IT companies hiring students, but core companies are not as interested. The last batch (2022) had over 50 placements, but this year (2023) there are fewer. The highest salary offered is 13 LPA, the lowest is around 3.5 to 4 LPA, and the average is 7 LPA. Our course mainly focuses on management, like banking and supply chain.

Campus: The faculty and labs here are really great. I'm a day scholar, so I can't say much about the hostels. College stays open from 9 AM to 9 PM, which is cool 'cause we can work on stuff even after classes. The labs and library are open for us to use. The food in the hostel is tasty, and everyone seems to enjoy it.

Admission: The teachers are super helpful, friendly, and really know their stuff. They've got a lot of experience, so the teaching is top-notch. I think the courses are spot-on, and the workshops for electronics and electricals help us handle real-life issues. The semester exams are a bit challenging, but not too crazy.

Placement: Most of the students got placed in big companies like Wipro, TCS, and Infosys. The lowest salary was around 6 to 7 lakhs per year, while the highest was over 20 lakhs per year. More than 90 percent of students also landed internships at these companies.

Campus: The classrooms each have their wifi box and a projector. The labs are big and have everything we need. Most classrooms are spacious, but the one I'm in now is a bit cramped. The library is huge and has tons of books to use for reference.
