Cochin University of Science and Technology - [CUSAT], Kochi - Affiliated Colleges

CUSAT and CET are close competitors, but CUSAT is the ultimate winner. CET is also not bad, but it’s slightly bland than CUSAT. Both the institutes have decent placements. All others are far away from comparison with these two.

A few points to be considered before choosing are below:

• CUSAT is a Tier-1 college and is well-known in the country and around the world. It is ranked 1001+ in World University Ranking 2021.
• CET is culturally rich. It has grand cultural fests in the college as compared to CUSAT.
• The alumni network of both institutes is strong.
• In CUSAT, most of the top placements are in CSE, IT, and Fire & Safety.
• There are limited companies coming for EEE, ME, and Civil. It has become a common scenario for these branches.

In conclusion, if you want to go for higher studies outside India or incubate a start-up, CUSAT is the best institute.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) provides hostels for students. Hostels at CUSAT are residential units that foster community living.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) has a central office, located in the Common Facility Centre. The central office is governed by a hostel advisory committee and issues hostel rules. It also helps students to get accommodation in the campus hostels. University’s office also takes care of new student’s hostel admission.

These are a few of the hostels for both boys and girls at CUSAT:

• Alakananda Hostel for Girls
• Ananya Girls Hostel
• Anaswara Hostel for Girls

There is also a KMSME Boys hostel for students who are pursuing Marine Engineering. The hostel comes under the Kunjali Marakkar School of Marine Engineering.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) also has a mess. It is run by a committee of students. The mess food is quite good and comes at a reasonable price.

The trial allotment round in CUSAT is not like a real allotment round. By the trial rounds, they give you a very rough idea about the position you get in the rank list for the particular branch.

• If your rank is 17 in the trial allotment round for the computer science branch then it means 17 students are ahead of you.
• Basically, the purpose of conducting the trial allotment rounds is that the chances for you to get admission are high as the students travel miles just to get the admission.
• If they do not get admitted then it would be a complete waste of time as well as money.

Lastly, we can say that the trial allotment rounds are just to give you an idea of which branch you are likely to get. So that you can complete the further criteria accordingly considering all other things together.

CUSAT and TKM both take students based on CET. Students always land in confusion between these two. CUSAT also admits students based on the KEAM score. Being a student of CUSAT, I can say it is better than TKM in several ways.

• Global Recognition - CUSAT has a better global recognition than TKM. CUSAT has been awarded by many countries for its excellent performance in the fields of education.
• Culture - CUSAT is more linked and connected with growing industries therefore it offers its students better startup programs and cultures. It also has a wide community to help the students with the real-world industry.
• Facilities: - High tech facilities are offered by CUSAT. Well-equipped and high-tech labs with the latest technological advancements are present there.
• Placements - It definitely offers better placement than TKM. Its placement records and stats are better than TKM for every academic year.

CUSAT is situated in Kochi which is a beautiful city and also an industrial hub. So students will definitely benefit from the nearby industries. CUSAT is a university established on its own hard work. It has its specially made curriculum and revised topics which proves beneficial to the students

Both the options are good. There is no such difference in the quality of education, either in these two branches, or any other branch in CUSAT.

They make you work hard, focus on every detail, and stress a lot on the practical classes and labs.

As for the faculty, 85% are permanent. As for the quality of faculty, everyone will have a different view. According to my friends at CUSAT, the only difference you will find between the branches is that the EC people toil 3 times harder than the other branches.

According to the overall placement statistics the average and highest CTC offered to the students is 4 LPA and 15 LPA.

You should choose the branch that is better for you. Think about the branch where your interest lies, will you be able to manage the workload efficiently, does the subject interest you, or which branch has the better placements matter. However, I would like to advise you not to be bothered by placements any more.
