How is the SOE in CUSAT for a North Indian?

There is no differentiation or discriminitaion at CUSAT. Hostels are provided for everyone regardless of one being north Indian or not but the seats are limited to get accommodation in hostels because of a large number of North Indians in CUSAT. If you are a North Indian like my friend studying there, you may prefer to stay in private flats in and around campus. However, hostels are cheaper than flats but are well maintained no doubt.

The internet connection is provided free only in labs and libraries. In hostels and flats, private WiFi connections are preferred like Asianet etc. which are cheap and easily available.

As a North Indian student, if you stick to the rules and regulations, no harm or discrimination will take place. Anyhow, when you are away of your home state you will always feel like a sense of discrimination or so but such cases are everywhere. Here, the discrimination is not much and is negligible at a point it can be ignored.

Regarding the teachers they are all good overall, nothing so special. They will help in clearing your doubt and grievances. But according to my friend’s experience, most of the learning is done by you yourself and there is no much dependence on teachers. Students who get admission there are sound and intelligent enough to manage and study on their own, which is preferable.
