CUSAT M.Voc Technology and Management Consulting: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Master in Vocational Studies in Consultancy Management at Cochin University of Science and Technology is a 2-year postgraduate program consisting of four semesters. The course includes three semester exams, two internships, and two projects, focusing on practical and real-world case studies. The faculty is comprised of 7 permanent members, several guest lecturers, and a director, each with over 3 years of industry experience, and is noted for being approachable and supportive.

However, there are concerns about the lack of faculty from the consulting field, impacting some students' experience. The program's fee is approximately ?120,000, with ?30,000 for the first semester (including a caution deposit) and ?28,000 for each subsequent semester. SC, ST, and PH students only need to pay a caution deposit of ?5,000. Scholarships are available through the E-grant for students with an annual income below ?400,000 and for OBC students.

Despite Cochin University of Science and Technology's robust placement opportunities, the DDUKK program offers limited placements, with only about 10% of students securing positions, often with local companies offering salaries around 12,000 INR per month. Internships are also limited to local firms, and there is a noted lack of faculty support and industry expertise affecting student outcomes.
