CUSAT B.Tech Civil Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The BTech degree course at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) requires candidates to clear the CUSAT CAT entrance exam. Results arrive in late May, with the admission process running from mid-June to August. Admission is rank-based, requiring ranks within the top 2000 for general categories and top 1000 for competitive branches like Computer Science. Nine admission rounds, including three spot rounds, are conducted, with document verification and fee payment following seat confirmation.

The faculty is well-qualified, but there are concerns about the lack of permanent staff and inconsistencies in teaching quality. Fees vary by residency and category, with Keralites paying approximately Rs. 21,000 per semester and non-Keralites around Rs. 45,000, while NRI students pay up to Rs. 60,170. The annual fee is about Rs. 85,000, with hostel fees charged separately. Placement opportunities are strong in non-core fields like Computer Science and Safety Engineering, achieving nearly 100% placement rates.

Companies offer packages between 3.5 lakh to 28 lakh, with an average package of 12 lakh per annum. Core branches face limited opportunities with packages between 3-5 lakh. The placement process begins in the 6th semester. Scholarships and financial assistance are primarily available for Keralite students and include programs like E-Grantz and MOMA. Non-Keralite students largely depend on education loans. Despite scholarship opportunities, students must be proactive in their applications.
