Prospective students applying to the B.Tech program at CUSAT must take the CUSAT Common Admission Test (CAT), with applications available in December or January. Admission is based on CAT rank, with higher-ranked candidates allotted seats first, and remaining spots filled through spot admissions. The campus in Pulincunnu, Alappuzha, employs 70-80 faculty members, including permanent, contract, and guest lecturers. The permanent staff are highly qualified, often with PhDs. Faculty performance is evaluated via student feedback each semester.

The fee structure varies: State Merit admissions incur a semester fee of about 40,000 INR, while All India Merit admissions pay nearly double. NRI seats have a separate fee structure. Robust placement opportunities are available, with companies like Cisco, Hyundai, and Air India recruiting students. Average starting salaries are 3.5 lakhs per annum, with Cisco offering the highest package of 25 lakhs per annum in 2023. Around 40-50% of students secure placements.

Students are eligible for placements from the seventh semester. Financial assistance includes a student aid fund for those in need, a merit-cum-scholarship of about 10,000 rupees for department toppers, and access to government scholarships and bank loans. Despite the lack of direct scholarships, the college strives to support financially disadvantaged students, ensuring access to financial aid and scholarships.
