Many CS programs are accredited by ABET, but they're covered by the Computing Accreditation Commission which doesn't qualify graduates to sit for the FE exam. And many top CS programs, including CMU and Stanford, aren't ABET accredited at all.

Nationwide, there's only 27 Software Engineering programs accredited by ABET. So graduates of those programs could sit for it but until graduates from top programs qualify, no one is going to require it.

Wait, are you sure about this? When I was in school, they pushed CS/CE students to take the FE Electrical and Computer exam. I never signed up, but why would the school nag students to do something they weren't allowed to do?

CE students are eligible. CS students are not. If your degree was a combination CS and CE, it might have been accredited by both commissions.
