CUSAT is ranked 63rd in the overall college rankings of NIRF for 2023. It has two colleges for B.Tech. One of them is SOE i.e. School of Engineering in Kochi City, and the other is CUCEK i.e. Cochin University College of Engineering in Pulinkunnu. It is a village roughly 100 km away from SOE.
The cutoff varies from year to year. My brother’s rank was 3129. He got Civil in SOE, a few years back. For CS/IT, you’ll need at least a rank >1000. The placements are decent for CS/IT and Safety & Fire graduates.
The average package for these streams is 3 LPA, and the highest package is around 20 LPA. Amazon sometimes visits the campus to make recruitments. The placements are in a poor condition for other branches. Moreover, the CUCEK campus lacks lab facilities for Civil and Mechanical.
Overall, CUSAT is a decent choice for B.Tech, but it lags behind in terms of placements and facilities for non CS/IT branches.
NIRF 2021 ranked CUSAT 65th in the overall category. The university has two engineering colleges, i.e. School of Engineering, Thrikkakara campus, and Kuttanadu Alappuzha campus. Naturally, the required cutoff varies for B.Tech, year to year based on different parameters. If you are targeting CS/IT, you will need to have a rank under 1000. CUSAT placements are good. Here are the highlights of the 2022 placement.
