CUSAT: 8 Answered Questions

Which is better for CS ,CUSAT or tkm?

Saptarshi BoseStudied at Cochin University of Science and Technology (2019)

CUSAT and TKM both take students based on CET. Students always land in confusion between these two. CUSAT also admits students based on the KEAM score. Being a student of CUSAT, I can say it is better than TKM in several ways.

Global Recognition - CUSAT has a better global recognition than TKM. CUSAT has been awarded by many countries for its excellent performance in the fields of education.
Culture - CUSAT is more linked and connected with growing industries therefore it offers its students better startup programs and cultures. It also has a wide community to help the students with the real-world industry.
Facilities: - High tech facilities are offered by CUSAT. Well-equipped and high-tech labs with the latest technological advancements are present there.
Placements - It definitely offers better placement than TKM. Its placement records and stats are better than TKM for every academic year.

Categories	CUSAT	TKM
Course Fee	3.53 lakh	8410 (1st year)
Highest CTC	15 LPA	12 LPA
Average CTC	7 LPA	3.5-5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	TCS, Infosys, Wipro, IBM, etc.	Oracle, Wipro, Microsoft, Infosys, etc.

CUSAT is situated in Kochi which is a beautiful city and also an industrial hub. So students will definitely benefit from the nearby industries. CUSAT is a university established on its own hard work. It has its specially made curriculum and revised topics which proves beneficial to the students

With a rank of 787, can I get CS in CUSAT main campus?

Nilima BanerjeeStudied Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communications Engineering at CUSAT

CS in CUSAT is the 2nd most sought out subject after Naval Architecture. In the CUSAT entrance exam the first few seats are filled in the Naval Architecture branch then the CS seats. In all the branches first, the seats are filled in the main campus and then in the second campus.

According to the previous year’s report, the required cutoff for CS in the first round was 740. While in the third round the cutoff was 1037. Going by the cutoff trends, I will say you have a good chance of getting CS on the main campus.

Which should I choose, fire and safety engineering or CSE in SOE of CUSAT?

Namrata Das

For a safe and secure future, a good salary package and an easier job, I would suggest you choose Fire and Safety Engineering at SOE, CUSAT. On the other hand, if you are confident about your programming skills and knowledge, wish for a career in IT, and would be satisfied with a comparatively lower salary (probably), choose the CSE course at SOE, CUSAT. In Safety, the job profiles are less demanding and the competition is not as high as in CSE. CSE jobs are purely merit-based. To get into Amazon, Snapdeal, etc. with high packages of 11–14 LPA and above, you need to be very skilled and hardworking. Curriculum-wise, Safety is a lot easier and contains the basics of the branches- CE, ME, EEE & EC. Therefore, based on your personal preferences, choose your stream wisely. Both CSE and Safety at SOE, CUSAT are good courses.

Should I join CUSAT or FISAT for CS engineering?

Diksha BoseB.Tech CSE, IIT BHU (2019)

Both the Cochin University of Science And Technology (CUSAT) and Federal Institute of Science And Technology (FISAT) are very good institutes and have almost similar rankings in the state of Kerala. Now you can compare both the institutes on various parameters. I have taken two broad and the most popular parameters for this comparison.

Placement - In this regard, the School of Engineering (SoE) of CUSAT is better than FISAT. According to the recent placement statistics, the average and highest CTC offered at CUSAT is 4 LPA and 15 LPA respectively. Cochin University College of Engineering Kuttanad (CUCEK) campus of CUSAT is also similar to SoE in terms of placements.

Infrastructure - Here FISAT takes an upper hand and has better facilities than both SoE and CUCEK. SoE is slightly good and is comparable to FISAT but CUCEK lacks a lot of facilities compared to both.

So it totally depends on you and what your priorities are. If you only aim for placements then choose CUSAT. If you want good infrastructure, then FISAT is preferable.

Will I be eligible for CSE in CUSAT with 258 marks? What approximately would be my CUSAT rank?

Mukesh SinghB.Tech Computer Science, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2020)

The eligibility for admission in CSE at CUSAT depends on various factors, such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the paper, and the cutoff trends from previous years. However, based on previous year trends, with 258 marks in CUSAT CAT, you have a good chance of being eligible for CSE at CUSAT.

As for the approximate rank, it is difficult to determine the exact rank as the rank is influenced by various factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of students appearing for the exam, and the previous year's cutoff. However, based on previous year trends, your estimated rank could be in the range of 1000 to 2000.

Admission to CUSAT is not solely based on the CUSAT CAT score or rank. There are other factors, such as reservation policy, which may affect your admission chances. Therefore, it is recommended to check the official website of CUSAT for the latest updates and information regarding the admission process.

Which is better, CUSAT or SASTRA (for computer science engineering)?

Tithi AggrawalFounder, NextBigWhat

SASTRA is a better option for engineering in Computer Science, considering the enormous opportunities provided by the institute. CUSAT is a better option than CUSAT, the notable differences are not below:

SASTRA ranked 34th among the top engineering colleges in India. SASTRA has a strong academic character and is constantly ranked among the top universities in India.
The university has a different pupil population and offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs. There are several chances for students to take part in technology activities
In terms of placement, SASTRA provides higher offerings than CUSAT.

The table below gives a brief level of comparison between the two institutes.

Particulars	CUSAT 2023	SASTRA 2023
Average Salary Offered (CSE)	4.9 LPA	9.3 LPA
Highest Salary Offered (CSE)	25 LPA	34 LPA
Major recruiters	L&T, Cisco, Vedanta	Microsoft, IBM, TCS

Shenbaga Prasanna (Senior SDE at Amazon, Bangalore), Murali Krishna Yadav ( System Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services) and many more established professionals are the notable alumni of this association.

Therefore, SASTRA will be a better choice than CUSAT based on these facts. Although there are advantages to both universities, SASTRA stands out for its reputation for academic brilliance, extensive extracurricular possibilities, and state-of-the-art facilities.
