Admission:

Eligibility - A valid score in KMAT (2022 cut-off was somewhere around 360), CMAT (above 80 Percentile would be good), CAT (same as CMAT). It is important that you also perform well in your Group Discussion and Personal Interview Session in order secure admission to SMS, and CUSAT; as high marks in your qualifying exams alone wouldn't grab you a seat. The application form and related details can be found on the official site of the college - https://sms.cusat.ac.in/.
