Is polymer science and engineering good in CUSAT?
The program of Polymer Science and Engineering offered by CUSAT is one of the best in the country. The department of Polymer Science and Engineering is very old and well established. For my cousin, joining the course has been one of the best decisions that she ever made for her career.
- The alumni of this department of CUSAT are working in many major polymer-based companies.
- Only a few institutions in India offer this course to students who wish to pursue Polymer Science and Engineering.
- The course is more concerned about the fields of sciences rather than engineering.
- The faculty members of the institution are very well qualified and experienced in their respective fields.
- The majority of the students who get enrolled in this program get recruited by companies in the Tyre industry.
- Since the intake of students is limited, which is around 20 students each year for bachelor's, the relationship which develops between the different batches and the faculty members is very strong.
- The placement cell of the University is extremely active and provides full support to the students during recruitment drives.
- Some major recruiters include Reliance Industries Limited, SRF Limited, Apollo Tyres Limited, and CEAT Ltd.

What are some great startups founded by students of Cusat?
There are few of the great start-ups, founded and raised by students of Cochin University of Science and Technology,or popularly abbreviated as Cusat. Those of which are discussed beneath.
- Mashinga: This was the first startup that people started coming across from SOE CUSAT. This amazing start-up, named Mashinga, is known to be successfully selling products across various industries. It is rather one great piece of news to know.
- Bisko Labs: This start-up developed naturally by students of Cusat that is popularly known for developing a patented automatic gear transmission system for manual bikes. This company has won a chance to lift various awards and recognition among Top Vehicle companies.
- Mobiopush: This is yet another start-up founded on grounds of the campus by intelligent brains. This start-up followed up to be the first student SASS Startup in India and has been serving more than 1000 customers.
- Exploride: It is another successful start-up raised in Kerala. The co-founder of this start-up is a student of Cusat. They saw the largest crowdfunding campaign from the whole nation, which is rather another news to notice. Various prototypes were actually developed with other Cusat students too.
- Innov8 Coworking Space: This can however be regarded as one of a kind. It is co-founded by a student of Cusat as well. This is India’s ultimate co-working space. Begun in late 2015, this saw success within its few months of operation.
Cusat has recently inaugurated a brand new division that is known as Tinkerhub.It is where students are permitted to develop technologies and are mentored by numerous experts from the start-up space. This is the ultimate go-to for students enthusiastic about start-ups. It is bringing together various events and collaborations too.
How is the CUSAT rank calculated? Does it include marks?
No, +2 marks are not included while calculating CUSAT rank. Being a student here I can say that the only thing that is taken into account while calculating the rank is your CAT exam score.
However, there is a dependency on which category you belong to, that is, your category such as general, OBC, SC, ST, etc has an impact on the rank.
After completing the ranking process, allotment is done which involves 5 steps. A particular number of students get selected for each allotment. As the number of allotments goes on increasing, your chances of getting selected also increases.
The final step is spot admission. It is conducted directly from the college for those who fail (if any), to report during the admission process.
Which is best, civil or EEE in CUSAT?
Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.
- The median package offered by the branch is INR 4.5 LPA.
- The branch has a cut-off of 2313, i.e., quality people get admitted.
- The Civil Department has excellent and experienced faculty. They provide quality learning to their students.
- The campus is vast, spread across 180 acres. You can enjoy life with academics.
- There are extra-curricular and practical learning opportunities throughout the years.
- The curriculum followed by CUSAT is quite decent and well-framed. It is considered to be more rigid than other universities. But it is not very difficult to grasp if you put in hard work.

The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.
How much should I score in CUSAT to get a decent rank?
One of my friends graduated from CUSAT and he shared some tips to do well in CUSAT with me. Here are the tips.
- First of all, just do not think about rushing on the marks. Study well, work on the concepts, try to finish the syllabus, and manage your time well.
- And secondly, coming to marks, well if you notch up about 300 then, you will surely be in the top 1500, and a 250 + will also get you a decent rank within 3000.
The competition is quite high at CUSAT over the years, and the trend continues. So, try to give your best. Manage your time well and have confidence in your hard work, you'll score well.
Which is better, IT/CSE at SOE CUSAT or NIT Manipur CSE?
NIT Manipal CSE is the best option among these. NIT follows a more advanced and application-oriented course curriculum. An NIT degree will be really helpful if you want to pursue higher studies abroad.
According to the highlights of NIT Manipal placements, students of CSE get an average CTC of around INR 3-4 LPA. Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Infosys, etc. are some of the major recruiters for CSE.
Should I join CUSAT or FISAT for CS engineering?
Both the Cochin University of Science And Technology (CUSAT) and Federal Institute of Science And Technology (FISAT) are very good institutes and have almost similar rankings in the state of Kerala. Now you can compare both the institutes on various parameters. I have taken two broad and the most popular parameters for this comparison.
Placement - In this regard, the School of Engineering (SoE) of CUSAT is better than FISAT. According to the recent placement statistics, the average and highest CTC offered at CUSAT is 4 LPA and 15 LPA respectively. Cochin University College of Engineering Kuttanad (CUCEK) campus of CUSAT is also similar to SoE in terms of placements.
Infrastructure - Here FISAT takes an upper hand and has better facilities than both SoE and CUCEK. SoE is slightly good and is comparable to FISAT but CUCEK lacks a lot of facilities compared to both.
So it totally depends on you and what your priorities are. If you only aim for placements then choose CUSAT. If you want good infrastructure, then FISAT is preferable.
How is CUSAT for M.tech in polymer science?
An M.Tech in Polymer Science from CUSAT is a good option if you are planning your master’s and doctoral programs. It can offer you the hands-on experience of your subject. But the chances for the placements for the MTech student are very less from CUSAT. As most of the companies prefer BTech students rather than the students who completed their master’s degree i.e. MTech.
M.Tech students do not get enough placement opportunities. If you go through the past placement records, you will see that only one or two companies allow MTech students. Although, in 2020, MRF tires have invited only MTech students for the 2021 placements.
The industry also starting to recruit more M.Tech students as most BTech students after doing the job for almost two years pursue higher studies that in turn is a great loss to the company as the company spends long hours teaching them various skills to give their project a successful ending. So most of the companies are preferring students who have completed an MTech degree and are ready to work for their professional career only. This is a very big advantage to all the students pursuing MTech polymer sciences from CUSAT.
You may know that in M.Tech the second year is project-based both in college as well as in the company you are pursuing your internship. If you can even show your efficiency, you may get recruited by the company, once you complete your master's degree.
So, securing a decent job offer depends a lot on your skills and efficiency.
Can I get admission in CUSAT if I score 65% in the CAT?
The CUSAT Common Admission Test does not follow any percentage system. You won’t be shown your CAT score either.
The answer key is released 2-3 weeks after the exam, and sent to the candidates’ emails. You can use it to calculate your approximate score in the exam. But that won’t be of much use either. I would suggest you wait till the declaration of your rank.
You can expect a seat in the main campus with a rank >= 4000. A rank higher than that will get you a seat at the CUSEK campus only. Naval Architecture, Safety and Fire and CS are the best branches of SOE. The first two are its flagship programs. For these three branches, you need a rank below 1200.
This is all the necessary information about the engineering admissions in CUSAT based on your CAT rank.
What is photo counseling in CUSAT admissions?
During CUSAT admission counseling, they verify that there is no fraud and you are the same person as the photo that was given in the registration form. This process is known as photo counseling. This round is just for verification purposes. This process ensures that there are no discrepancies during admission.
