College of Engineering, Trivandrum (CET) is the oldest and pioneering engineering institution in Kerala.

The College of Engineering Trivandrum Alumni Association (CETAA) is the umbrella under which they all come together. CETAA is perhaps today one of the world’s largest and strongest communities of engineers, with about 17,000 members and 165 centers spread across 47 countries.
The CETAA members meet once in two years to refresh memories of the past and discuss new concepts for expanding the frontiers of engineering education. The previous CETAA Global meets were held in Dubai, Bangalore and Trivandrum.
