Everything You Need To Know About CUSAT

The admission process was smooth although there was an entrance exam. Usually, CUSAT CAT notification is out in March and the exams are conducted in May. And the results are mostly declared in June. The application fee is 1000 for most subjects and you can find the application form on the university's official website once it is opened. For me, the entire admission process was smooth and the staff was cooperative during the entire process. After being selected, the HOD himself gave instructions to me and that was a really good experience.

I choose this course because I enjoyed this subject and it'll lead to a career. There were 24 students in our class and 6 professors. All the professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Exams were conducted on time and results were published fast. The level of exams was medium. class notes were provided for each subject.

There is also an opportunity for an internship at CUSAT. For engineering students, internship opportunity is more compared to other departments. Generally speaking, the stipend is around 10000. But for some internships, there is no stipend. For instance, in MoSPI (Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation), there is an internship opportunity but the drawback is that, in this case, there is no stipend.

Our batch didn't get placement opportunities due to covid-19 crisis. But generally speaking, many students get placed by different companies in the university. Many students are placed in famous companies like CISCO, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Oracle, etc. The percentage of students getting placed in different companies is very high in CUSAT. For example, in 2022, 39 out of 40 B.Tech students got placed under different companies. So for placement opportunities, CUSAT is good.

For every semester, the fee is around 4000/5000. For SC/ST students, the semester fee is much low (around 300). Yes, you may get a government scholarship while you are studying here. The University has good facilities and infrastructure, so considering this, the cost of the study is much low.

Coming to campus life, since I studied there during the Covid-19 crisis, students were not given enough freedom to go out. There are many fests like 'Sargam' which are conducted annually.
