College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : The infrastructure of the college is well equipped to provide a number of facilities like workshops, labs, libraries, hostel, research programmes, central computing facilities and so on. The college is spread over a vast expanse of land. The civil engineering labs, especially the material testing lab is maintained in top shape. It boasts of highly expensive and good-quality machinery.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : I got into Colege of Engineering Trivandrum in the year 2015. The admission procedure for the college follows the entrance examination common to all the state government engineering colleges in the state, the Kerala Engineering and Medical Entrance Examination KEAM. You have to be in the top ranks to be admitted to the college. My rank in the KEAM 2015 exam was 1462. I only got into the college in the third round of allotment. However, the departments like Computer Science, Electrical and Electronics, Mechanical and Electronics and Communication Engineering have a lower threshold for admitting students.

Fees & Scholarships : Being a state government college, the fee for the college is comparatively very low. The admission fees, including the tuition fees for the first semester, is INR 11900. The following semesters cover tuition fees, university exam fees and registration fees for each subject. Those who are eligible for various scholarships can avail the same.

Placements & Internships : The college has a Career Guidance and Placement Unit (CGPU), especially for this purpose. This organisation has a few teachers and student representatives from all departments as its members. It takes care of campus recruitment and also provides the students with information regarding various job opportunities. The unit also provides guidance and training programmes for students appearing for placements. It arranges for the students' various internship programmes as well.

Academics & Faculty : The college has a highly trained and experienced workforce. The teaching staff are well-qualified. Many of them have field experience and can impart the kind of wisdom a future engineer needs. The lab staff also greatly assist the students in their education. The college unfailingly emerges at the top in terms of pass percentage as well as university toppers. 

Clubs & Associations : The atmosphere is conducive to various extracurricular activities, be it with IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) or environment club or Entrepreneurship Development Cell. The staff and students of Civil Engineering Department actively participate in the ICI(Indian Concrete Institute) CET activities. The college also has an active alumni association called CETAA(college of engineering Trivandrum alumni association). The cultural and technical fests present students with opportunities to showcase and hone their diverse skills.
