What is the placement and average package of CUSAT?

Some of my friends are from CUSAT. Whatever information I have gathered from them, I will share as this could help you understand the question a bit more. Here are some placement statistics you can consider as far as CUSAT placements are concerned:

• The quality of students also differs and it has become drastically different from before.
• The cutoff from the last few years has also gone up by almost half.
• Some really good companies also visit the institute for placements.
• These include Oracle, Google, and other e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal.
• However, you should know that only a few students will qualify through the interview round and secure a job.
• You will have to be a good programmer and maintain a CGPA of 8.5 at least.
• Many students don’t do well in interviews if they lack programming skills and do not have that sort of GPA.
• But, in every case, there is an exception. Some exceptional students are able to crack these interviews and get placed in decent companies with really high packages.
• For example, back in 2016, a student cracked the IBM interview and secured a pay of INR 36 lakhs per annum.
• Many other students also have got good placements in off-campus recruitment so you can try that too.

You don’t have to be too worried about being placed. Once your overall course is complete many companies will continue visiting the college and students will get placed in the future.
