CUSAT first releases a provisional (preliminary) key to let candidates spot errors and submit formal complaints. After a panel of subject experts reviews these inputs, a rectified final answer key is published, which cannot be challenged further.

No, the CUSAT CAT B.Tech test (Test Code 101) does not include English or Logical Reasoning. It consists strictly of PCM questions.

The syllabus of CUSAT CAT is aligned with the NCERT/CBSE Class 11 and 12 curriculum. Because Kerala State Board textbooks closely follow NCERT guidelines, preparing with standard NCERT resources covers both boards effectively.

Yes. CUSAT has two main campuses offering B.Tech: the main campus in Kochi (School of Engineering) and the Kuttanad campus (CUCEK). The main campus cutoffs are significantly tighter than those for CUCEK.

CUSAT releases the cutoff in the form of last ranks rather than raw marks. These ranks are categorised by All India Quota, State Quota, and specific caste/community reservations.
