It depends on the branch or department you are choosing in CUSAT and SRM. Here is the highlight of the recent placement statistics for the institutes.

If you want to go in Ship Tech, CS and IT, Safety and Fire, then Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is a better option than SRM.
But if you are looking to make your career in Civil, EEE or EC, Mechanical then SRM is better than Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT).
One of my friends studies at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). According to him, although CUSA has better students than SRM, no private companies come for recruitment at the campus for core branches.
In SRM big companies come for placement. You also can sit for placement drives of companies. Some of the recruiters of SRM are L&T, Pallonji, Shapoorji, etc. You also get to face competition in SRM.
If you are willing to join CUSAT core branches then you have to look out for off-campus placements or can also prepare for GATE, UPSC, or IES.
