Admission

I chose CUSAT since it is a very famous university since 1971. A lot many renowned personalities graduated from CUSAT. There are lot of opportunities waiting smoothly students from CUSAT. Before joining CUSAT, I got admission in gec Thrissur and model engineering college Thrikkakara. But I opted out those since they are centralised with ktu which is not that better than Cochin university. I have not got any rejection from other colleges. The admission process is based on the rank we get in the CUSAT common aptitude test. Through that exam the university selects around 15000 students for the admission procedure

Faculty

There is a strong bond between student and faculty. The faculties are really friendly with the students. All the faculties are best and it also depends from person to person Talking about the exam criteria there is continuous assessment exams out of 30 and end semester exam which is out of 50. Then there is lab exams out of 25 each followed by viva.

Placement Experience:

As seniors said the average package is around 10lpa.If you have descent skills and above 8 cgpa you will get this average package. If you upskill yourself with effort which many students do here then you can also get above 15lpa which many seniors got.The highest package was off-campus by an ECE Student in Google despite having cgpa around 6.He had very good skills as a full stack developer.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from the 7th semester and internship from 3rd semester. You can apply for internship on your own right from first semester but college gives aid from 3rd semester. The major recruiter is ISRO which offers 40-45 jobs for aerospace engineering. Also other companies like CDac Airbus Boeing and DRDO and HAL visit for recruitment. Nearly 85-90% students get placed while some opt for Higher education and research too. My primary goal is to get into ISRO also I will be preparing for gate examination to complete my IIT dream.
