CUSAT: 15 Answered Questions

How is the CUSAT ranking, cutoff, and placement for a B.Tech 4 year?

Aparna Das

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.

What is the difference between spot admission and real time admission in CUSAT?

Debdeep Majumder
Susmita GuhoB.Tech Computer Science, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2010)

In the context of CUSAT "spot admission" and "real-time admission" are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably, but they can have slightly different meanings depending on the specific context. Both the terms are explained below:

Spot Admission :

  • A candidate is often admitted to a program on the spot or right away under a spot admission method, frequently at a particular event or counseling session.
  • It often happens when a university or institution holds a special admissions session to fill open seats in a specific degree or program.
  • Spot admission refers to candidates being admitted immediately after submitting the required paperwork, paying the required fees, and fulfilling all other admission conditions.

Real-Time Admission :

  • The term "real-time admission" can signify a variety of things that include continual or instantaneous admissions.
  • It can relate to any application evaluation and rapid decision-making procedure for admission, frequently occurring in real-time or shortly after the application deadline.
  • Real-time admission may include electronic application systems, prompt application processing, and prompt notification of admission decisions.

Depending on the unique policies and practices of the institution, these phrases may be used differently in the context of CUSAT or other universities. While real-time and spot admission both attempt to speed up the admissions process, there may be differences in the specific steps and lead times.

How is cusat fire and safety branch?

Shridhar SriramanLives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

One of my friends shed light on the actual scenario of the Fire and Safety Department of CUSAT 

  • The syllabus is highly illogical and difficult to comprehend so students often lose their interest while studying.
  • Students who miss any chapter or topic in the curriculum are given a compartment that they have to clear by working very hard alongside completing the huge CUSAT curriculum.
  • During placements, the visiting recruiters set high cutoffs around 8–8.5 GPA in all semesters with no backlogs.
  • The students who clear the written exam are called in for an interview which is very challenging. Students who clear the interview are offered lucrative packages only to realize after joining the company that the CTC was misleading and inflated.
  • Fire and Safety students have no job opportunities in off-campus placements at all. 

So, I will recommend you to not join the Fire and Safety branch in CUSAT at any cost.

A score of 150 marks in the CUSAT CAT exam will fetch you a rank between 6000-7000. Based on this rank, you will only get core branches like Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical in CUCEK, the second campus in spot admission only.

What problems do North Indian students face at the CUSAT SOE? Is it true that there is no girls’ hostel in SOE for non-Keralite students in the 1st year?

Susmita GuhoB.Tech Computer Science, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2010)

CUSAT offers an amazing campus life and trust me the locals of Kerala are very hospitable and humble. You will love your time here even as a North Indian. However, every coin has two sides and likewise being a North Indian at CUSAT will bring forth some challenges too. I have listed down a few

Language barrier: Malayalam is a language that is difficult to understand and even more to learn so North Indians face major language issues here. But the bright side is your Malyali peers will help you and never make you feel left out. 

Cultural differences: Every aspect of CUSAT portrays Kerala's culture be it the faculty, crowd, or food. Adjusting to this culture might be a little difficult for North Indians.

Mindset difference: Despite being a metro city, the mindset is narrow and Kerala culture is highly followed. Girls are restricted from roaming around past sunset, and rarely will you see them dressed in western wear.  

Home visits: While the local students can be seen visiting their homes during 2-3 days' leave, North Indians cannot go to their homes unless the semester ends. But most students prefer traveling and enjoying with friends rather than visiting their families so it’s not a big issue.

Campus politics: As a North Indian you cannot comment much on the campus politics in CUSAT due to cultural and language barriers. Hence most of the organizational and administrative roles are assigned to locals.

These are some common problems faced by North Indians in CUSAT. If you think you can overcome these, you are welcome here!

Why do people choose naval architecture? What is the scope of naval architecture in India or abroad? I am thinking of doing it at CUSAT.

Raktim Tarafdar

CUSAT offers a four year B.Tech program in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding. My brother pursued this degree from CUSAT a few years back.

Naval Architecture deals with vessels, moving or stationary, that serve in a marine atmosphere. The vessels include ships plying in ocean or coastal areas, offshore rigs, underwater vehicles, submarines etc. Naval Architects perform mathematical calculations to ensure the sea worthiness of these vessels. For this purpose, softwares and programs are created and fed as algorithms to a machine. Most universities offer a secondary specialization alongside Naval Architecture. If you pursue your B.Tech in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding, other than N.A. calculations, you will also work on shipbuilding techniques and practices. My brother also worked on a project on the preliminary design of a ship plying in a specific route required to carry cargo(s) at its maximum capacity(meeting the owner’s requirements).

As far as job prospects are concerned, as a Naval Architect, you can be employed by shipping companies, classification societies, consultancies, or research institutes. You can also work at shipyards or at offshore companies that manufacture maritime equipment like life-saving appliances or ship engines.

Indian organizations offer a limited salary in this field, usually ranging from 25,000 - 50,000 INR per month. Abroad, the salary usually ranges from 12 - 40 LPA. Your salary will depend upon your location and job profile. Offshore offers good packages which are way higher than shipbuilding. But because of changes in oil prices at present, only a few offshore companies hire freshers.  Depending on your job type and designation, you will get to travel sometimes/frequently for business, projects or some technical testing work.

You can go for this course at CUSAT. However, I would recommend you to first prioritize the top Indian and Foreign institutions offering this program and to keep CUSAT as a secondary choice.

Is CUSAT in Kuttanad good for engineering?

Shridhar SriramanLives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

To be honest, you will be very disappointed if you join CUSAT expecting to be taught by highly experienced professors and a top-notch infrastructure. If you are nevertheless joining CUSAT, bear in mind that you will have to resort to self-study most of the time.

  • Academics: CUSAT is a big disappointment in terms of the quality of education offered. Most courses are taught by guest faculties who have no knowledge or interest in teaching.
  • Infrastructure: The infrastructure again is in a poor state and no provisions are made for extracurriculars and sports. cricket etc. Don't expect a court for basketball either.
  • Electricity supply: The institute has a poor electricity supply and there isn’t even a generator facility.
  • Library: The library is under-stocked and most of the books you will need won’t be available. Moreover, it is so small that you will feel cramped here.

Considering all the above points, I don’t think it’s wise to join CUSAT in Kuttanad for Engineering.

In trial allotments I was waiting after 400 others for CSE CUSAT. What are my chances of getting admission there?

Nikhil Ranjan
Mansi Bhatnagar

CSE is the most sought out branch of CUSAT. Since you have 400 other candidates waiting ahead of you, your chances of getting CSE are very low. If you have applied for some other branches, you can wait for the results. Else, if CSE is your only choice, try some other good college. You can come for the spot round if getting into CUSAT is your dream.

How is the food at CUSAT?

Arnab SinghMCA Computer Science & Mathematics, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2018)

Food will not be an issue at CUSAT. The food you will get at the mess of CUSAT is similar to that of any other engineering colleges in India.

The food provided at the campus is great. But it is Kerala food. If you are from North India and habituated to the type of Noth-Indian food, you may have difficulty in adjusting. Since the food at the mess is prepared in coconut oil. If you are opting for a hostel you have to choose the mess facilities too. But it is not as bad as it sounds, and you can survive and adjust with time. 

You can get Noth-Indian Food by tiffin service too. You can also find many Bihari and Bengali cooks in the vicinity of the campus. There are also a few North-Indian messes near the college. In case you are staying in a rented flat or room, it would be better to hire a cook. 

It may take some time to adjust but you can definitely survive on the food available at CUSA. So, do not treat food as a deciding parameter for not choosing CUSAT.
