How is an MSc in environmental biotechnology at CUSAT?
MSc in Environmental Biotechnology is a very niche course that is offered by very few universities in India, Cochin University of Science And Technology (CUSAT) being one of them. Personally, I have come across very few schools of Environmental Studies in Indian universities that offer this program.
But then if you are interested then nothing should come between you and your choice. You may look at some of the IITs, IISERs, and other top universities if they provide this course or not and whether or not you are eligible for it. If you are not getting them, then CUSAT is fine as well.
Which is better, CUSAT or SASTRA (for computer science engineering)?

I have scored 95 in my boards in CBSE, will I get into CUSAT, considering that this year CUSATS is giving admission on the basis of board marks? I do have a Keralite status.
The year has not been predictable so far. Due to the pandemic, the procedure to make a merit list for the selected candidates has changed. Therefore, it is difficult to predict what rank you get based on your marks.
- The merit list gets prepared according to the normalized marks secured by the individual in the respective board exam.
- The institute will release the rank list.
- You can check your rank with the previous year's cut-off ranks to know where you stand.
The status of Keralite is not needed. There are quotas for Keralites and Non-Keralites. You get a 50 percent exemption from the fee in the case of Kerala. For further details, you can visit the official site of the institution.
How is safety and fire engineering in CUSAT and what is the average package for this branch?
The Fire and Safety Engineering Department is one of the best at CUSAT. As one of my friends studied there, I might be able to share some details which can help you with your question.
- This department has got good infrastructure along with good faculties.
- About 90% of the students of this branch get a good offer for a package.
- But this field is limited to getting a job, as most of the companies recruiting on-campus look for other colleges.
- The competition will be less as very few colleges offer this kind of branch.
