If anyone gets selected for civil engineering in CUSAT, does he get to study in SOE or the CUSAT main campus itself?

Suyash JainStudied Civil Engineering at Cochin University, 2019

CUSAT is a university that had colleges under it in the past. Now it only has colleges or schools to be exact. Which are under the main university campus.

Following are the various schools affiliated with CUSAT University.

SOE: It stands for School of Engineering and deals with UG engineering courses.
Old SOE: It deals with Grad and Ph.D. courses. It also comprises various departments for MCA.
SLS: It stands for School of Legal Studies and deals with the law courses.
SMS: It stands for School of Management Studies and deals with business-related courses.
Kunjali Marakkar School of Marine Engineering: It deals with marine engineering courses.

The above-mentioned schools constitute the main campus. This is not the entire CUSAT, there is another campus for the university.

Lakeside Campus:

The Lakeside campus is around 12 km from the main campus. It is set in Cochin city on the estuarine waterfront.
It consists of the School of Ocean Science and Technology, School of Industrial Fisheries, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Department of Marine Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry, Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics, and Department of Physical Oceanography.
The School of Marine Sciences has a library that is regarded as one of the largest marine science libraries in Asia and a research vessel for coastal water studies.
The school has academic interactions with other universities and research institutes in India and abroad.

Apart from this, there is also CUCEK in Kuttanad, also known as the Pulincunnoo campus. So, if you get selected into civil engineering, then you will be studying in SOE which is inside the main campus.

Which is best, civil or EEE in CUSAT?

Ahaana SharmaB.Tech Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (2019)

Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.

The median package offered by the branch is INR 4.5 LPA.
The branch has a cut-off of 2313, i.e., quality people get admitted.

The Civil Department has excellent and experienced faculty. They provide quality learning to their students.

The campus is vast, spread across 180 acres. You can enjoy life with academics.

There are extra-curricular and practical learning opportunities throughout the years.

The curriculum followed by CUSAT is quite decent and well-framed. It is considered to be more rigid than other universities. But it is not very difficult to grasp if you put in hard work.

Categories	Civil at CUSAT	EEE at CUSAT
Course Fee	3.53 lakh	3.53 lakh
Placement Percentage	70%	50%
Highest CTC	10 LPA	7.5 LPA
Average CTC	7 LPA	4 LPA
Recruiting Companies	L&T, Cisco, Tata Steel, Vedanta, etc.	TCS, Infosys, Cerium, Vedanta, etc.

The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.
