College of Engineering, Trivandrum (CET), is the first engineering college in Kerala, situated in Chavadimukku near sreekariyam, 13 km from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala. Founded in 1939 during the reign of the Travancore King, Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma. The college was ranked 47 in Outlook Magazine's list of Top 100 Engineering Colleges in India 2016.
In 1990, the Department of Science and Technology, government of India, ranked the college as one among the high ranking institutions in comparison with the performance of National Institute of Technology(NITs) in the area of training and placement. It is one of the few technical institutions in South India, which admits students mostly on a merit basis through an All Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination. Admission to this institution requires good ranks in this examination. Besides the regular B.Tech, B.Arch, M.Tech, M.Plan and MCA programmes, the college also conducts Part Time B.Tech and M.Tech classes for meritorious Diploma Holders. There is Lateral Entry Scheme to admit meritorious Diploma holders to the Second Year/Third Semester of the B.Tech courses to acquire a Degree in Engineering based on a State level entrance examination.
The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research IISER, Thiruvananthapuram functions from the campus. The college also extends lab facilities to the students of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram. There is a proposal to convert CET to a Centre of Excellence, upgrading it to a 'Kerala Institute of Technology(KIT)'. Then a Technical University can grow around it. The college has a student community which runs technical and cultural inter-collegiate festivals. There are several unusual aspects at CET, including a lingo of its own and customs such as 'Demo Week', where final year students dress up according to themes.
