Remarks

The students have to give the CAT (Common Aptitude Test) as the entrance exam. On clearing the cutoff, the students are then given a rank and asked to give in their preference order for the departments they want. The rank obtained by the candidate and also the marks obtained by them in their 12th std boards act as a factor in getting the department of your choice. There are four quotas through which a student can join the dept - state merit, all-India merit, NRI, and reservation. Fees a candidate has to pay per semester depending on the quota they have joined through. A student gets three chances to get into their dream department.

Course Curriculum Overview

The reason I chose Information Technology was that coding fascinates me. The faculty of the IT department in our college are quite knowledgeable, with 4 of them having a Ph.D. and quite a few patents in their name. Exams were conducted regularly.

Class Size: 102Course Fees: INR 52000 per year

Internships Opportunities

CUSAT has got a tie-up with the Japanese government where worthy student can intern in Japan off-line. The placement drive also regularly informs the students about the internship opportunities which are present right now in the corporate world, ranging from various start-ups to well established companies.

Placement Experience

A student becomes eligible to attend campus placements from their 7th semester. Some of the companies which visit SOE are Larsen and Toubro, Cisco, Tata Elxsi, Prevelant AI, Experion, Hashedln, and Qualities. The packages start from Rs 4L p.a. to Rs 32L p.a. The 2018-2022 batch of the Information Technology department recorded a 100% placement record. My plans after getting a degree is to pursue a career in Web3 and maybe try to crack the UPSC exam.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees paid by a student depend on the quota they are in. Students with state merit have to pay around Rs 25,000 per semester whereas students with All India merit have to pay close to Rs 46,000 per semester. Students in the NRI quota have to pay Rs 53,000 per semester and students with reservations only have to pay less than Rs 1000 per semester. Eligible candidates can apply for scholarships, depending on their marks or the annual family income.

Campus Life

CUSAT organizes many fests each year. School of engineering specifically conducts Dhishna (Techfest). Sargam is the arts and cultural fest organized by the college. The university library houses books of pretty much all genres and also has many journals based on various departments. Our university is also focused on extracurricular activities, Kurukshetra (University sports tournament), and department sports tournaments to name a few. Cusat has got many clubs like space club, readers club, etc.

All the teachers are well qualified and equipped to teach but the quality of teaching differs as per individual.

Dislikes

The say of students in matters concerning them or others is nil. We have very little say as the management takes all decisons.
Teachers have ego and superiority issues between themselves which might affect the children in 4th year,project phases.
Fests,events and functions are not upto any expectations.Schools in trivandrum have better events than our college.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible from 7th semester to sit for interviews. The pod.ai app helps us in making the resume and calculating a cgpa to appear for the intwrviews. The pod.ai registration fees is 500?. Companies such as nissan,infosys,commandtech,bimlabs,gulfasia etc has visited . And the highest package was 11 LPA and lowest was 3 LPA

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

Likes

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

Likes

When it comes to the campus life, I enjoyed all the 4 years
The infrastructure was okayish Could've improved.
The faculty was really friendly and I was able to approach them without any hesitation.

Dislikes

The road from the junction to the college is not at all maintained. Students coming up the hill find it very difficult to reach college
The bus fees are increased every year. But these people can't find a way to provide seats for the students after paying their bus fee.
Some other campus offer many varieties of food in their canteen. This has to be done here too

Placement Experience:

The students usually start appearing for campus placements in their 6th semester. The training for the campus placements is started for all the students from the 4th semester. Many companies visited for campus placements. But one main problem is that most of them were low packages. Around 4LPA. Some were between 4-6 and a very few between 6-10. Most of them got placed in our batch in some company.

My journey at CUSAT: A students perspective

I also wrote KEAM exam along with CUSAT in which I was able to secure a rank well enough to get Mechanical Engineering in CET, Trivandrum which I got in allotment. But since my mind was already set to take ECE as my degree due to my interest and passion for electronics and computers. And yes I do recomment CUSAT to everyone. To join CUSAT you have to write the CUSAT CAT entrance exams and then the seat are allotted based on the rank you earn in the entrance examinations. And usually a rank around 1k can get you CS, 1.5k can get you ECE and SFE, 2k can get you IT, 3.5k can get you EE and 7k can get you ME and CE....Read More
