Cochin university of science and technology

Some times there are unnecessary strikes which hinder studies. The campus has some political parties and there is sometimes rivalry between different branches which sometimes cause fights. There have been various times when police have had to enter to calm things down. But its all cool.

Engineering courses require dedicated effort from the students. The curriculum is not that up to date and is revised every 4 years. The semester exam happens in 6 months after which if there are backlogs one needs to wait another 6 months to write the exam again. The results come out faster as compared to other universities in Kerala.

Job openings via placements are a little dim for the mechanical engineering department. Where as the fire and safety branch enjoys very high placements. The college does not provide internship facilities. I did my internship in autotech Chennai. As a person who finished engineering from cusat the best way to land a good job is to go to Australia because CUSAT students get priority for Australian Visa.

Various sponsors are interested in this program which is a gathering of thousands of students mostly engineers.

The fee structure is very affordable I paid 30000 per year for mechanical engineering. There are various scholarships available like MoMA which can further reduce fee. The hostal fee was very low as compared to private hostels and the hostel provides good food for very cheap prices.

There is minority scholarship ( MOMA) that I know of. And there are also lot of other good scholarships provided by the government for backward students. The Loans are provided by the banks not the college authorities but a student from cusat can easily apply and receive loans since it is a premium institution of Kerala.

We have all kinds of labs available, for example heat engine lab, fluid mechanics lab , strength of materials lab, CAD lab , CP lab, Hydraulic machines lab , Lathe, Turning machines , grinding machines etc, all labs have highly skilled lab attendants who will help students. For sports we have a big ground and the sport department has all modern amenities. The college is very supportive of extra curricular activities.

The hostel is very big and thousands of students stay the fee is very low. The food is very good and cheap. We have attached bathrooms and good water supply. The warden is good man and friendly. There are lots of places in the hostel to study and if there are problems it is all sorted out by the warden.

The bond between the senior students of cusat and it's junior students are very strong. There are various alumni associations in various parts of the globe and help Freshers to find jobs. Personally I am in touch with the Alumni association in Australia.

I was selected based on kerala engineering entrance exams in 2014. I score 983 rank in cusat exam after that I was called for counselling and document verification, they checked my sslc and plus two certificate and entrance exam score and then finally I joined for mechanical engineering.

College faculty are highly educated people, most professors have a PhD. The mechanical engineering staff especially are kind and are always willing to help out students. The lab assistants are also very knowledgeable people and are fully dedicated to help the students reach peak performance.
