How are students of CUSAT faring in life?

One of my friends has graduated from CUSAT and he has often shared his experiences with me. The institute has helped him in achieving great success in his life.

Based on his point of view, I can give some pointers about life in CUSAT: 

1. Memories of a lifetime- There is a culture of ragging which is still persistent at CUSAT. This eventually makes the bonding of batchmates stronger. Along with this, Kerala is a paradise in itself for tourism and it offers everyone a marvelous experience throughout. You will get a splendid experience throughout your engineering.
2. Survival Instinct - It is a very common notion in CUSAT that if a student has survived on its campus, they can survive anywhere in the world. From the very first day, you will face ragging as well as managing senior’s flat/ mess for a living. A language gap persists because of the accent and the topic of discussion. Throughout your degree of education, you will encounter teachers who will yell at you for academics as they are very strict about it.
3. Career Awareness – The academic curriculum is really tough in CUSAT. If you do not study or get distracted at the time of examination, you will get supplementary or back for sure. It has been observed that very few people pass out of college with no supplementary in their academic history. 

You can check out the alumni of CUSAT for more details as they are very widely spread and placed in all sectors of the profession - from IT giants, Manufacturing industries, IIMs, to Government PSUs and some students have recently qualified UPSC as well. Therefore, it can be assured that CUSAT will give you a very apt environment to nurture yourselves and it is up to you on how you can grab the best.
