What is the fee structure of the CUSAT engineering college?

CUSAT has released the revised fee structure 2023 on the University’s official website. The institute offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in a variety of fields and the fee structures for every course are different. Since you haven’t mentioned the course you are looking for, I have mentioned the CUSAT Fee Structure for the major courses The fee for the BTech course is Rs. 46,600/- The Fee for the BSc degree program is approximately Rs. 42,654/- for the first Semester The fee for the MBA program is Rs. 26,555/- fee For a detailed fee structure of the specific program you are looking for, visit the official website of the institute.

Which course should I prefer in the CUSAT with a rank of 1,500 (general), and what courses are better in the CUSAT?

Your options at CUSAT will vary depending on your domicile. If you are from Kerala, you can expect to get almost any branch at CUSAT with your rank. In that case, opt for Ship Tech or Safety and Fire Engineering. CS is also a good option. If you belong to some other state, you won’t get Ship Tech or Safety and Fire. You can get the second one during spot round, if you are lucky enough. So, you’ll be left with EEE, ECE, Civil, IT, CS and Mechanical as your options. Out of these, CS and ECE are the best choices at CUSAT. Consider your options carefully, and make the decision accordingly.

Is CUSAT a government college or a private college? What is its fee structure?

CUSAT is an autonomous government university. For home state students, the tuition fee is around 25-26k per semester, and for students from other states, it is around 45k per semester. This is the fee structure for B.Tech, for general and OBC category students. The fee structure may vary from one branch to another.

What are the fees if I take an admission through the spot admission in CUSAT?

There is no difference between the fees for general round admission and the fees for spot admission. However, the fees for NRI spot admission are higher. At the time of admission, INR 55- 60 thousand is charged in a general round admission. For an NRI spot admission, you will be charged an amount of INR 2 Lakhs, out of which INR 1.25 Lakhs would be a security deposit. This means that this amount would be returned to you once you finish college. Talking about the semester fee, there is again a slight difference between general round admission and NRI spot admission. It is INR 43 thousand for general round admission and INR 55 thousand for NRI spot admission.

The college and campus is spacious and offers many many different varieties of course

Fees and Financial Aid:

I have gotten OBC All India Merit seat since I am Latin Catholic christian but the fees are the same as all All India Merit seats. The fees are 3 lakhs per year not including mess fees. The message fees per month is around 4000 rupees. Those who are hindu OBC have almost no fees a year, like around 40,000 a year and those OBC students also get Egrants scholarship since they are Hindu OBC Since I am Christian OBC, I will not get any feedback lowering or scholarships. Since my field is male dominated, female students get scholarships to encourage more women into this field. State merit seats have to pay around 2 lakhs a year also excluding mess fees and there mess fees is also 4000 a month

All you need to know about Cochin University

The curriculum is too difficult to learn since the academic year is short comparing other colleges

The fee structure while joining the course said total of rupees 48900 per semester and there is a caution deposit of rupees 1500 approximately while joining but this might vary. And at present this might have increased . The university is increasing the semester fee bt 3 percentage every year (this is legally permissible). Apart from this we are asked to pay certain amount as PTA fee at the joining time. Also alumni fee is mandatory while leaving the college. The exams fees and other miscellaneous fees are included in the semester fee. The value of money is there for the course. Even though it is little over the price comparing other kerala government colleges

The annual fee for me is around Rs 35000, which covers tuition fee costs under management category. In addition to this , approximately Rs 2000-3000 is paid for exam and lab related expenses. Students in non management category pays around Rs 9000-15000 tuition fee.

I m having claim from govt(SC category). Therefore it is very affordable. Otherwise the fee will go upto 50k to 70k for one semester (State merit) and 80k to 100k (All India merit). It will be a little difficult with any scholarships.
