Till now, it has been good! Nice overall! Good placement and college life.

Placements: About 60-65% of the students from our course got placed. Mainly in the banking sector, such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and some private companies like Wipro, Infosys, etc., visit our college for placements. Our college prepares students for further Ph.D. and provides knowledge for competitive exams like IES, IAS, PCS, etc. They also prepare us for upcoming lectures.

Infrastructure: Hostels in CUSAT have decent facilities with awesome infrastructure, providing basic yet decent quality amenities. In a single room, there are 3 beds, a table, and a fan. The meals provided in the hostel are okay, with not a wide variety of food. The registration process to get a hostel room is simple. Students from distant places are given more priority for hostel living. The hostel fee, including expenditure on food, is just 2300 rupees per year.

Faculty: I chose it because library facilities are good, with a central library and a cyber library. The libraries maintain pin-drop silence. In master courses, the intake is about 100 for each course. Faculty members are helpful for any kind of assistance. All faculty members are qualified in the NET GRF examination, and their teaching processes are excellent for me. All classrooms have computer projector facilities. Exams are conducted in two semesters per year, with a passing mark of 33%. Following past years' question papers and paying careful attention to lectures is crucial. Class size: 67 Course fees: INR 29000 per year.
