What Students Say

Likes

The internships happening are good and opportunity are there

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

I have been deeply interested in engineering from a long time. The syllabus is old so you have to get updated on your own.. The teaching methods are boring and not impressive. And hence you have to study on your own. Each semester has 2 internal and one final exam. Final exam is difficult.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 54000 per year

Internships Opportunities

The Internship are good in our college. The companies like Tata Consulting Services and wipro give good amount of opportunities to the students in our college. Stipends offered are 30000 for a month. Some internships are paid and some are not

Placement Experience

2.5

You are eligible for placement from the 7th semester. There are good placements in our college. Mostly service based companies like tcs, wipro.. Every student who doesn't have a back paper gets placed. I would like to get place from my college

Fees and Financial Aid

The tuition fees depends upon your rank. If you are coming under state merit the fee structure is 26000 per sem. If you are all India merit the fee structure is double of that of state merit. The college handle some scholarships like egrantz which can be submitted by individual to the office. There are internship conducted in the college can be taken by you. The campus employment for our course is 90 percent.

Campus Life

1.5

The college life is good. But due to the reservation criteria only some students can opt for hostel(gov). That's the college fails to provide Hostage to people who needed at people who needed them.spots activities are good. There is a gym. There are social groups and clubs too. But development is needed.

Admission

The admission process is through CUSAT CAT, The eligibility criteria is that you have to have completed your class 12 before the entrance exam. The individual should have qualified for the exam to get an admission here. The admission details can be found in the main website of cusat, "cusat admission's". The reservation benefit's is based on the cut off of that respective year. If you are in the SC/ST you will be not asked to pay college or hostel fees. The difficulty of the exam is average and the difficulty changes according to the respective years. The exam is conducted every year. And the exam syllabus include phy, chem, maths. It is a computer based exam where you will 1.5 hours to complete the exam.

The overall environment here is great. Students coming from different backgrounds make us more capable of meeting new people who have different ideas and that makes things easier,apart from achieving technical greatness ,curtain clubs are here
These clubs gives opportunities to gain new skills and to showcase our existing skills, sports clubs are also present which will help improve skills in sports
Cultural clubs , technical clubs are also present here to aid in your interest

Placement Experience:

Upon reaching s7 students are invited for campus placement but they have to pass different criteria to become eligible for attending the interview, a minimum cgpa of 7.5 and academic skills a these are the basic requirements and an aptitude test will be given and in further selection these criteria are looked. I plan on pursuing a job after completing by btech. More than half the students in a batch are getting placed usually.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the curriculum covers key subjects like Python, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Deep Learning right from the early semesters. The inclusion of electives such as IoT, Cloud Computing, and NLP made it future-relevant and versatile.

Campus, comparing from nearby college this college had good visual beauty may be because of the college been part 2-3 movies. Visually the college are too good with nature

Dislikes

The Placement is weak as there is no opportunity to get a proper core based job from what you studied mainly job opportunities come from call centres which doesnt require Btech to study. This personally felt too sad to be here to get placed in core.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As of the college comes under Ktu syllabus it has already has demerits of the university. Curriculum basically doesnot provide a realworld application uses. Just creates a knowledge on the course (and thats doubt) We need to courses outside the college to get the core jobs outside

Placement Experience:

From the 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. So many companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Gst Global, etc. are visited for placements. These companies provide placement for all the branches of the college. 90 percent of the students get placements. I prefer to go for higher studies after getting the degree.

Good learning environment with a good campus life

I choose Cochin University Of science and technology for Mtech Instrumentation Technician beacuse of its good reputation, affordable fees, and experienced faculty, and better focus on core technical subjects. I also got admission to Delhi University, but i prefer CUSAT because it was more affordable and better suited for instrumentation and automation studies. Admission to CUSAT is mainly based on GATE score and eligibility in a relevant BTech degree.The admission procees include online application and a exam DAT , rank list based on DAT , documenr verification, and fee payment. The overall process was simple and smooth...Read More

Life of CUSATian

I have only applied to CUSAT, we i was not able to get admission there i would choose to work in a company. It was just a try from my side, but it actually worked out. For MTech, GATE qualifiers can direclty get the admission without any other exams. They can also avail monthly stipent of around Rs 10000. Other exam for admission is DAT exam which is conducted by the respective department of the course. I have taken the DAT exam under the Department of Statistics , where this MTech Data Science and Analytics is present. The eligibility includes BTech or MSc. Cutoff is majorly based on the number of students writing the exams and the number of seats. So cutoffs can vary. Students are selected based on the DAT ranklist. Spot admission is conducted for the remaining seats. There is also a least chance for students who didnt write the DAT Exam can also get the admission at the 2nd or 3rd spot admissions....Read More
