About

The School of Engineering at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is a highly regarded institution in Kerala, known for its robust engineering programs. It offers a wide array of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, attracting students from all over the country, especially for unique specializations like Safety and Fire Engineering. Admission to the B.Tech programs for the 2026 session will be conducted through the university's own entrance examination, the CUSAT Common Admission Test (CAT). To be eligible, aspiring students must have successfully completed their 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, securing at least 50% aggregate marks in these subjects. For popular branches like Computer Science & Engineering, competition is stiff, and closing ranks for the general state merit quota are expected to be within the top 1000 in the CUSAT CAT 2026. The application process is entirely online via the official CUSAT portal, with registrations anticipated to begin by late January 2026 and the exam scheduled for May 2026. For postgraduate M.Tech admissions, a valid GATE score is the primary criterion for selection. Candidates with a relevant B.E./B.Tech degree are eligible to apply. CUSAT also provides various scholarships and financial aid options. Students can benefit from university-specific merit scholarships and government-aided schemes. Notably, M.Tech candidates admitted with a valid GATE score are often eligible for the AICTE PG scholarship, making postgraduate studies more accessible.
