CUSAT: 4 Answered Questions

What are the fees if I take an admission through the spot admission in CUSAT?

Nikhil Ranjan
Talat AzmiStudied at Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2019)

There is no difference between the fees for general round admission and the fees for spot admission. However, the fees for NRI spot admission are higher.

  • At the time of admission, INR 55- 60 thousand is charged in a general round admission.
  • For an NRI spot admission, you will be charged an amount of INR 2 Lakhs, out of which INR 1.25 Lakhs would be a security deposit.
  • This means that this amount would be returned to you once you finish college.

Talking about the semester fee, there is again a slight difference between general round admission and NRI spot admission. It is INR 43 thousand for general round admission and INR 55 thousand for NRI spot admission.

Which course should I prefer in the CUSAT with a rank of 1,500 (general), and what courses are better in the CUSAT?

Ankita Rakshit

Your options at CUSAT will vary depending on your domicile. If you are from Kerala, you can expect to get almost any branch at CUSAT with your rank. In that case, opt for Ship Tech or Safety and Fire Engineering. CS is also a good option. 

If you belong to some other state, you won’t get Ship Tech or Safety and Fire. You can get the second one during spot round, if you are lucky enough. So, you’ll be left with EEE, ECE, Civil, IT, CS and Mechanical as your options. Out of these, CS and ECE are the best choices at CUSAT.

Consider your options carefully, and make the decision accordingly.
