College of Engineering Courses & Fee Structure

Choose the award and branch before comparing seats

College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET) publishes separate undergraduate and postgraduate programme lists. The undergraduate page names eight B.Tech branches and a B.Arch course, with durations and annual intake figures; its working-professional degrees appear in a separate subsection. The postgraduate page lists 29 specialisations under M.Tech, along with Architecture, Planning, Computer Applications and Business Administration options. These listings help a student identify the award, department and likely route to investigate. They are not a substitute for the current-year prospectus or central seat matrix: the site does not label these catalogue figures as a confirmed 2027-28 allotment matrix.

For regular undergraduate study, the page gives an eight-semester duration for each listed B.Tech and ten semesters for B.Arch. It lists Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Applied Electronics and Instrumentation, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Computer Science and Engineering. Those names should be copied carefully during counselling. Electrical and Computer Engineering is listed separately from Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Applied Electronics and Instrumentation is also its own degree listing. Applicants should not treat familiar department groupings as permission to substitute one course code or choice for another.

The same listing reports annual intakes of 120 in Civil, Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Mechanical, and Computer Science and Engineering; 60 in Electrical and Computer, Applied Electronics and Instrumentation, and Industrial Engineering; and 40 in B.Arch. These are official page figures, not a verified 2027-28 seat matrix. They are useful for understanding the scale of the catalogue and for checking whether a later official matrix differs. The page has typographic variations, including “B..Arch”; the current CEE prospectus and allotment matrix should determine the official title and seats for an applicant’s cycle. The programme listing itself does not establish the latest course-wise fee or whether any intake changed after publication.

Working-professional courses are a separate category

CET lists working-professional B.Tech programmes in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering, each with 30 seats. The page labels these under the Office of the Programs for Working Professionals rather than grouping them with the regular first-year list. That distinction matters: a working-professional applicant should consult the office’s current eligibility, experience, schedule and application notice, not assume that the regular first-year KEAM route or timetable applies. The listed seat count does not by itself say whether the option is open for a given year, whether all seats will be filled, or what the fee will be.

Before comparing these programmes with full-time choices, ask how teaching is scheduled, what attendance or work-experience conditions apply, and how the degree is titled on the final certificate. The captured programme page identifies the three branches and their 30-seat listings but does not provide those detailed conditions. A student should obtain them from the current working-professional prospectus or notice. The 2026 admissions index separately showed working-professional admissions and spot notices, which confirms the distinct administrative stream but does not supply the current cycle’s requirements. Do not infer that a prior notice remains active.

Postgraduate catalogue: compare specialisation, not just M.Tech

The postgraduate page describes M.Tech as a four-semester programme and lists a set of named specialisations with separate annual intakes. Structural Engineering is shown at 36 seats; Environmental Design at 20; and most of the listed M.Tech specialisations at 18 each. The catalogue names Structural Engineering, Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Hydraulics Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Geo Informatics, Machine Design, Propulsion Engineering, Thermal Sciences, Industrial Engineering, Financial Engineering, Manufacturing and Automation, Control Systems, Power Systems, Guidance and Navigational Control, Electrical Machines, Communication Systems, Applied Electronics and Instrumentation, Signal Processing, Micro and Nano Electronics, Robotics and Automation, Computer Science and Engineering, Information Security, Artificial Intelligence, Renewable Energy, and Power Electronics.

These are not interchangeable M.Tech options. Compare the exact specialisation against the current prospectus, eligibility rules and available supervisor or laboratory information before applying. The page’s annual intake figures are catalogue statements and should be checked against the relevant 2027-28 admission notice. A course title on the college website does not by itself establish that a seat will be offered in every cycle or that a student meets the entry requirements.

The same page lists Urban Design under M.Arch with 18 seats, Planning under M.Plan with 18, Computer Applications with 60, and Business Administration with 120. The extracted page does not make every award label equally explicit in the table, so applicants should use the linked programme prospectus and admission notice to confirm degree nomenclature, duration, eligibility and selection method. In particular, do not assume an M.Tech admission rule applies to the M.Arch, M.Plan, MCA or MBA route merely because all are shown on one PG page.

Fees and the cost information that is not established

The official UG and PG catalogue pages reviewed here list programmes, durations and seat figures, but do not provide a course-wise 2027-28 tuition schedule. This page therefore does not estimate tuition by multiplying a guessed semester amount, and it does not use the 2026 B.Tech/B.Arch joining charges as if they were tuition. CET’s separately captured 2026 joining notice names PTA, bus-development and CETAA charges; those are distinct categories and belong to a completed cycle. They do not establish the total cost for an incoming student in 2027-28.

For a real application decision, request the current fee order or prospectus for the precise degree, admission category and year. Ask which items are recurring by semester or year, which are one-time, and which are deposits or association charges. Also check whether hostel, transport, examination, university and other payments are listed separately. The sources reviewed for this course-and-fee guide do not establish all such amounts, their refund treatment, or a complete total. A blank or unlisted fee should be treated as unknown, not as zero.

How to use the programme figures

Use the catalogue as an initial comparison map: identify the exact award, branch or specialisation; note the listed duration; then confirm the current intake and fee with the authority responsible for admission. For first-year B.Tech and B.Arch, compare the course page with the current CEE Kerala seat matrix and prospectus. For postgraduate study, use the applicable state or university admission notice and the course-specific CET information. For working-professional study, use the dedicated office’s notice. Do not make a choice solely from an annual intake figure: the number can change, and a larger intake does not measure teaching quality, placement probability or an individual’s fit.

The programme pages are valuable because they expose distinctions that broad labels can hide: several engineering disciplines sit within related departments, M.Tech options differ by specialisation, and professional degrees are separated from the regular UG list. But the information has a limit. The published catalogue figures do not prove which courses will receive seats in the 2027-28 cycle, the final sanctioned intake, current fees, or application deadlines. Use them to frame questions, then follow the current official documents before submitting choices or payments.
