CAT

No, CUSAT (Cochin University of Science and Technology) does not admit students solely through the CAT (Common Admission Test). For most undergraduate programs, CUSAT conducts its own entrance exam called the CUSAT-CAT. However, for some courses like MBA, admissions are based on the CAT scores, while other courses may consider various eligibility criteria, including marks in qualifying exams and performance in university-specific entrance tests.

CAT is one of the accepting exams for admission to Gnanam School of Business MBA. However, aspirants with a valid score in MAT, CMAT, ATMA or XAT can also apply for admission. Besides entrance exam, aspirants should also complete graduation with a minimum of 50% aggregate for admission to MBA programme.
