B.Tech CSE, CUSAT (2018)

One of my friends graduated from CUSAT and he was able to give me some information regarding the status of the institute.

CUSAT is a state University, recognized by UGC, and AICTE. It has also been accredited by NAAC.

In past, there was a rumor going on that CUSAT will become an institute of national importance under MHRD, Govt of India. However, as of now, nothing regarding this has been officially declared.

In terms of academics, CUSAT is a decent university. To know more about the institute you can read the student reviews available on various social media. You can also visit the official website.

Will I be eligible for CSE in CUSAT with 258 marks? What approximately would be my CUSAT rank?

MS
Mukesh Singh Posted On : April 6th, 2023
B.Tech Computer Science, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2020)

The eligibility for admission in CSE at CUSAT depends on various factors, such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the paper, and the cutoff trends from previous years. However, based on previous year trends, with 258 marks in CUSAT CAT, you have a good chance of being eligible for CSE at CUSAT.

As for the approximate rank, it is difficult to determine the exact rank as the rank is influenced by various factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of students appearing for the exam, and the previous year's cutoff. However, based on previous year trends, your estimated rank could be in the range of 1000 to 2000.

Admission to CUSAT is not solely based on the CUSAT CAT score or rank. There are other factors, such as reservation policy, which may affect your admission chances. Therefore, it is recommended to check the official website of CUSAT for the latest updates and information regarding the admission process.

SG
Sudesna Ghose Posted On : June 10th, 2021
Former Student at Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2016-2020)

CUSAT and JNTU Hyderabad, both the colleges are good. I have few friends at both, so I can give you some insight into them.

  • JNTU Hyderabad is a reputed institute. According to the placement report which is given by the college companies like TCS, Wipro, cognizant, etc visits the campus.
  • CUSAT is a better choice than JNTU Hyderabad. As in CUSAT, you would get a lot of exposure. The facilities are up to the mark even though it is not much of a luxurious college.
  • You will get a proper atmosphere to learn and as far as the study is concerned you will get adequate material here for study purposes. The library facilities are good and it is quite large. You will also get adequate facilities for games and sports.
  • The campus placement of CUSAT also holds a better record than that of JNTU Hyderabad. For better placement, you have to work hard and pass the exams. As the syllabus and whole curriculum are a bit tougher than that of JNTU Hyderabad. Also, the ranking of CUSAT is higher than that of JNTU Hyderabad.

So, it’s better to go for CUSAT.

CUSAT or VIT, which is better?

TK
Tina Kumari Posted On : February 12th, 2021
Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2016-2020)

Both of these colleges are good. VIT is the best private engineering college in India. Whereas CUSAT is also a reputed institute. CUSAT is a government college, and VIT is a private college. Thereby, you will get a better facility in VIT rather than in CUSAT.

Hostel Facilities: (Winning Institution - VIT)

However, the hostel facilities are also not up to the mark in CUSAT. But VIT offers good hostel accommodation. But VIT charges a lot for hostels. 

Course Fee & Infrastructure: (Winning Institution - VIT)

  • The education fees for entire engineering courses in VIT are around 16-18 lakhs, including food, lodging, and education fees. In comparison CUSAT charges around 8 lakhs for the same. Thus, VIT is quite costly. 
  • But it can be mentioned that VIT is far better than CUSAT. The better infrastructural facilities in VIT assist the student in their entire courses. Whereas in CUSAT, college infrastructure is not like VIT.

Placement: (VIT ~ CUSAT)

You will get good exposure in both of these institutes. Placement records of both of these colleges are also outstanding. If you work hard, you can bad a decent salary package from the campus placement from any of these colleges. 

The table below gives a brief overview of both institutes. 

Basis

Highest CTC

How is an MSc in environmental biotechnology at CUSAT?

PP
Pablo Patranobish Posted On : July 20th, 2021
Studied at Cochin University Of Science and Technology

MSc in Environmental Biotechnology is a very niche course that is offered by very few universities in India, Cochin University of Science And Technology (CUSAT) being one of them. Personally, I have come across very few schools of Environmental Studies in Indian universities that offer this program.

But then if you are interested then nothing should come between you and your choice. You may look at some of the IITs, IISERs, and other top universities if they provide this course or not and whether or not you are eligible for it. If you are not getting them, then CUSAT is fine as well.
