Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi

Definitely go for MBA in IB. Make sure the college provides good placements and overall exposure.

You have to write CAT exam conducted by CUSAT and wait for the results.

The classes will be starting from June or July.

The dates for GD-PI are will be near June & July.

Yes, you can. Apply in the university website with your GATE score and wait for the notification.

If you are looking forward to take admission in Kerala itself, then KMAT is preferable, otherwise your CAT score is better for applying in other colleges.

No, you can apply online at CUSAT website. You have to present yourself only when it's your turn for GD & PI.

The university does not give a cutoff for CAT or other entrance exam scores. Instead, you can apply and if you are eligible they will contact you and your GD&PI dates and time will be published on their websites. As far as the admission procedure is concerned, I suggest you to perform well for your GD &PI since the university concentrates mainly on them. Good Luck!!
