- It was well good in every sense under the Cochin University of Science and Technology, CUSAT, Cochin. I will recommend you this as one of the best universities for your better future.

Dislikes
- Scholarship and loan facilities were offered by my college, which I knew of and availed. Furthermore, since it was a government college, the fees were less.
- The campus here is so disgusting that there is not enough space to accommodate all the students in the college.

Likes
- The closed knit companion shop between students.
- Almost all the programs are conducted by students therefore every student learns about managing events, speaking to sponsors
Dislikes
- The only downside of the college is the infrastructure. It only consists of two blocks and a rather small campus.
Admission:
The eligibility to the course is from KEAM examination. The BTech CSE course has an approximate cutoff of 1870 rank. The admission process is pretty straight forward and it ends with a one on one meeting with the Principal and Head of Department of your course. The application forms and all other details can be availed from the college website. The KEAM examination is not that tough when compared to JEE. The examination is usually conducted once a year during the months of May/June with registration starting from April.
Likes
- The curriculum is well structured and provides a good balance of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
- The emphasis on on research and innovation is commendable and students are encouraged to engage in various academic projects and seminars.
Dislikes
- The main building is a bit old and looks lousy.
- There can be an overwhelming number of events organised at the same time making it difficult for us to balance our academic and extracurricular activities.
Admission:
You can only apply to MEC by writing the KEAM examination. To get into BTech CSE the cut-off rank for general category is around 4000. The first part of the admission process is done through KEAM portal, after which MEC sends you all the necessary details through email. The cut off rank for reserved categories are very much lower than the general cut-off. The course fee are also lower for them. KEAM exam is held once a year and it is much easier than JEE.
Likes
- MEC has an excellent placement cell.The placement cell has been extremely good for the past 5 years.
- There are many skill that helps you to grow your skills such tinker hub and many others.
Dislikes
- MEC is confined to a small space right in the centre of kochi.The small campus makes it difficult for you to enjoy a campus life.
- The first year classes are from 8.30-3.30 which is too early especially for day scholars.
Admission:
To get a seat in the cse dept, you must obtain a keam rank below 4000 The reservation stats can be found in the cee kerala website. The admissions are through keam and it is conducted once in every year during may-june in computer based exam model.
Likes
- Good faculty , teachers and staffs are always there for us.
- No ragging. Seniors are awesome in each year. They are always there to help us and guide us.
Dislikes
- Campus is really small, little space for hanging out with friends and all.
- There are only 2 main fests.After these two there are actually nothing that's great.
Admission:
Admission process was kind of delayed in my time. You need to take keam entrance exam for merit and management seats. Cutoff was 50% for general and 40% for SC/ST. Once got then the admission process was pretty simple. Everything was done in 20-30 minute.
Likes
- Rapport among the students and the faculty
- Promoting innovative ideas with a well crafted fab lab
Dislikes
- Limited infrastructure and the ongoing construction activities
Admission:
One gets admission into the college based on their rank in the KEAM examination. Computer science and engineering is one of the most demanded courses these days and hence the cut-off rank for it in this college is about 2500. The admission process is quite tiring because one has to fill in forms and all. I propose that it should all be digitalized.
Likes
- Its a very neat and beautiful campus.it has a different atmosphere and a very different infrastructure compared to other colleges.
- It has well qualified and educated teachers.
Dislikes
- It has a very limited space compared to other campuses,it only contains three buildings.
- The transportation facilities are very hard as the college is in a remote area.
Admission:
The admission criteria to enter this college is through entrance exams like keam which we need to score a high rank in it . We can also get admission with low rank if we are from a reserved caste. We need to have so many certificates that was difficult to attain to easily get into the college
Likes
- the good faculty lab and facilities and the student study environment
- the alumini network and the constant support from them
Dislikes
- since it is a government technical organisation it has uniform
Admission:
admission process is done through keam exam and people can also apply through NRI quota using 12th marks where fees are a lil bit high . aadi Kim exam is the engineering and medical exam of Kerala state government and the cut off rank is 10k
MEC: 1 Answered Question
Why is MEC Thrikkakara opted for by Keralites more often than CUSAT SOE?
Having friends studying in both institutes, I can say that MEC has a better (on-campus) placement record than SOE CUSAT.
- CUSAT is also good overall but passing papers is such a difficult challenge. Only a few candidates are eligible to participate in placements.
- As a result, most of the companies hesitate to visit campus for placements. But students are doing well in off-campus placements.
- This institution was originally part of Cochin University, and it was regarded as one of the university's best colleges in terms of amenities, location, and excellent faculty.
- However, this college, along with many others, has recently merged to become Kerala Technical University, resulting in a drop in demand for admission.
This has improved the facilities and educational quality and certificate value for CUSAT at both campuses. The top scorers tend to opt for CUSAT rather than KTU.
