CUSAT CAT Result Previous Year Statistics

CUSAT CAT has stayed steady at around one lakh candidates each year, with the BTech rank list growing slowly as more seats get added. The table below shows the trend across the last four cycles.

The closing rank for the most-wanted BTech branch – Computer Science and Engineering at CUSAT main campus – has tightened sharply over the last three years. Here is what the General All India category looked like in the last round of counselling:

The CSE closing rank has roughly halved in three years – from above 5,000 in 2022 to under 3,000 in 2024 and 2025. So if you are aiming for CSE this year, expect the cutoff to stay in the same tight range.

Details Mentioned on CUSAT CAT Rank Card 2026

Your CUSAT CAT 2026 rank card carries all the details you need for counselling. Check every field carefully – even a small typo in your name or application number can hold up your seat allotment later.

• Candidate’s name
• Roll number
• Application number
• Date of birth
• Category
• Subject-wise marks (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry)
• Total marks scored
• All India rank
• Category rank
• Qualifying status
• Course applied for

If you spot any mistake in your personal details, report it right away through the candidate portal or by writing to the CUSAT admissions office. The rank itself cannot be challenged – the objection window for answer keys closes before the result, so once it is out, the rank is final.

CUSAT CAT 2026 Qualifying Marks

To make it to the BTech rank list, you have to clear the subject-wise minimum. For most candidates, the cutoff is simple – at least 10 marks in Mathematics, and at least 10 marks combined in Physics and Chemistry. If you miss either, your name does not appear in the rank list.

For PG and other UG courses, qualifying minima vary – check the official prospectus for your specific programme.

CUSAT CAT 2026 Marking Scheme and Score Calculation

Your CUSAT CAT marks come from a simple plus-three / minus-one system. There is no sectional cutoff for ranking – your total decides your All India rank.

Your total score is: (Correct answers × 3) – (Wrong answers × 1). The All India rank is then drawn up by sorting all qualifying candidates from highest to lowest score. Tie-breaking happens by Mathematics marks first, then by age (older candidate gets the better rank).

CUSAT CAT Rank List 2026

CUSAT publishes the rank list as a course-wise PDF on the official portal. Each course – BTech, Integrated MSc, MCA, LLB, MTech, MSc, MBA – has its own list. The PDF carries the application number, name, total score, and All India rank of every selected candidate.

For BTech alone, 28,225 candidates have made it to the rank list in 2026. The list is the only document CUSAT uses for counselling – if your name is on it, you can register. If it is not, you cannot.

The rank list is also split category-wise. So even if your All India rank is low, your category rank (OBC, EWS, Kerala SC, Kerala ST, PwD) decides which seats you are eligible for during counselling. Always check both numbers before filling preferences.

What After CUSAT CAT Result 2026 – Counselling

Once the rank list is out, the next step is counselling. CUSAT counselling is fully online – registration, option entry, seat allotment, and fee payment all happen through the same portal you used for the application. Document verification is done physically at the allotted college after the seat is locked.

Here is the broad sequence:

• Counselling registration: You log in to admissions.cusat.ac.in and confirm your participation. A registration fee is charged at this stage.
• Option entry / choice filling: You list the course-college combinations you want in order of preference. Fill as many as you can – an empty preference cannot get you a seat.
• Seat allotment: CUSAT runs the matching engine on rank, category, quota, and preferences. The result is the first allotment list.
• Reporting and fee payment: If allotted, you pay the seat acceptance fee online within the deadline. Missing the deadline means losing the seat.
• Document verification: You report at the allotted college with originals – CUSAT CAT rank card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, photo ID, category certificate, transfer certificate, and other documents listed in the brochure.
• Further rounds: If you are not happy with the first allotment, you can opt for sliding or upgradation in later rounds. There are usually three to four rounds in total.

The full counselling schedule will be published on the CUSAT admissions portal in the second half of June 2026. Keep your documents ready and check the portal daily during the counselling period – the rounds move fast, and a missed deadline cannot be reopened.
