What is the eligibility criterion for NRI quota in CUSAT?

For getting a seat in the NRI quota at CUSAT, there is no special eligibility criterion. Candidates with a valid rank in CUSAT CAT (common admission test) can get admission in those NRI quota seats. 

The following table gives an insight into some important facts for NRI students:

There are two basic ways to get admission through NRI quota seats in CUSAT, which are described below.

• There is a CUSAT NRI form that can be filled at the time of form filling for the CUSAT CAT exam. It costs around Rs. 7280, whereas the general form is Rs. 1100. 
• Candidates filling this specific form will get direct admission into the NRI quota seats. This is a process not usually known to people, and the second process is mostly followed.
• During the spot counseling rounds, some NRI seats in various departments are found available. These seats are then offered to candidates according to CAT rank. 
• The fees for NRI seats are a bit higher than general seats and so, most people don’t prefer them. Therefore, these seats usually become available to candidates with not so good rank.

All other facilities and policies for NRI quota candidates are the same as general candidates, other than the admission and semester fees.
