No, companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, etc don’t recruit students from any branch of engineering in CUSAT.

Companies like Google recruit students from premier institutes like IITs, NITs, DTU, NSIT, etc only. For institutes like CUSAT, such high-profile job offers cannot be expected on campus.

• In CUSAT, some of the companies that recruit students every year are Infosys, TCS, Mu Sigma, etc.
• The type of offers in placement and the packages offered by companies mostly depend on the branch of engineering in CUSAT. Mostly, circuital branches like CSE, IT, and ECE receive the best offers from companies during their in-campus placement.

These are some of the key highlights regarding the placement of students in CUSAT, which is decent, but not as good as IITs and NITs.

One of my female friends shared her hostel life experience at NIT Rourkela. Here is a glimpse of what her hostel life looked like

• She was allotted B block of KMS hostel, which has the biggest and most spacious rooms among all hostels of the institute.
• The institute has a variety of eateries including 1 night canteen and 1 day canteen
• The hostel has a number of rules and regulations, one such being the late entry rule wherein if you don’t enter the hostel by 11:00 PM, you have to enter your name in the late entry register. This cannot happen more than thrice a month else your parents will be informed.
• Breakfast options are limited such as bread, eggs, bananas, cornflakes, milk, and tea. These items are supplementary to an additional menu 
• The lunch menu is great for non-veg lovers while the dinner is very pathetic.
• Although washrooms are cleared daily, hygiene and cleanliness need to be improved.
• Festivals like NITR, Garden Fest, and Hall Fest make the hostel life more vibrant and happening.
• There is a common room with indoor sports facilities and other leisure facilities.

Overall hostel life at BIT Mesra is decent for girls with a few restrictions.

I would like to add on to the previous answer and mention a few important points regarding branch change at MANIT Bhopal-

1. The HS and OS quota are maintained during branch change. 
2. The Open category seats can be claimed by SC/ST/OBC students with better scores, but not vice versa.
3. Only 10% students from the original strength can opt for transfer from their branch.
4. The number of vacant seats has reduced over the years, making branch change more and more difficult.
5. I would advise you to choose your branch wisely from the beginning itself. It is highly probable that you end up with the same branch for four years.

Try to make the most of your stay at MANIT, and choose your field of study wisely.

First of all, congratulations on getting a decent rank in KEAM.

Let’s be honest with this, I have only a little knowledge about colleges in Kerala apart from CUSAT. Being a student of CUSAT I can definitely assure you one thing and that is, classes at CUSAT are really good.

If you are hard-working, have a will to learn, and put in the effort, you will receive huge support and guidance from the faculty.

I request you to not believe in such kinds of rumors and false information. Also, do not be reluctant to make a choice and opt for CUSAT solely because of such rumors.

The year has not been predictable so far. Due to the pandemic, the procedure to make a merit list for the selected candidates has changed. Therefore, it is difficult to predict what rank you get based on your marks.

• The merit list gets prepared according to the normalized marks secured by the individual in the respective board exam.
• The institute will release the rank list.
• You can check your rank with the previous year's cut-off ranks to know where you stand.

The status of Keralite is not needed. There are quotas for Keralites and Non-Keralites. You get a 50 percent exemption from the fee in the case of Kerala. For further details, you can visit the official site of the institution.

Although many are here pointing out the flaws in NIT Trichy that might make it impossible to become a top 3 technical institute in India, people fail to understand that an institution of national importance is expected to address these flaws at a minimum. NIT Trichy is an educational institute and not a company that would focus on making its customers happy. 

However, if I were to point out the major reason behind its bleak chances of becoming the top 3, then it would be a lack of effective leadership. We aren’t sure if the fact that NIT Trichy would have passionate leaders in the future especially because the recruitment process is not transparent and lacks alumni involvement. Additionally, the directors and HODs have an absence of vision, leadership personality, and biases. 

So, in order to emerge as a top engineering college, NIT Trichy needs to adopt an academic niche for itself, both in teaching and research. It should choose at least 3, 4, or 5 academic niches that make it stand out among other institutes.  Another way to become the top is to eliminate the rest of the flab.

Ultimately, adopting a niche, carrying out it well, and letting every director follow it is the key. Only then will NIT Trichy be among the top 3 engineering colleges.

You have ABCL FMS, don't join Indore. You have K SP Jain, choose according to your domain. Consider Indore after that. You don't need to plan on giving another shot at ABC. On the second try, 80% do not get into better colleges. Indore is most likely the best campus in terms of peer interaction and crowd size. IPM students will captivate you with their knowledge.

The IIM label is phenomenal and well worth it. Many people don't even know much about FMS. IIM Indore is ideal if you want to become an entrepreneur. Their Incubation Centre has produced some excellent work. If you're worried about getting the biggest paycheck, don't be; most students don't stay in their first job for more than a year.
