Does the CUSAT take admission from the community rank?
Admissions at CUSAT are based on the candidates CAT ranks. A certain number of seats are reserved for students from different communities like KSC, KST, etc. There is a state merit list specifically in place for Keralite students. This is because a certain number of seats are exclusively reserved for locals. The community based reservations are a part of this state merit list. It is not a part of the All India merit list.
If you belong to Kerala, you have high chances of getting a top branch even with a below par rank. After filling the general seats, the community seats are filled for different category students. There is also an NRI quota in place.

No, for students from other states, the community rank does not play a significant role in the admission of students to CUSAT. The points below give a brief overview of the role of rank in admission at CUSAT.
- For students from Kerala, the category rank is considered only for estimating the position of the candidate in his/her specific category.
- For students from any other state, category rank plays no role. Only the general rank is considered in making the final admission list of candidates.
There are two merit ranks as framed by CUSAT. The first is the state merit rank, and the second is the all-India merit rank. The state merit rank is specific to students from Kerala only.
