A great campus but it has poor hostel facilities.

Faculty: The teachers are super helpful and have a lot of industry knowledge that helps the students become industry-ready. The curriculum is updated from time to time to remain up to date. The teaching quality is really good. The semester exams are not too hard, not too easy. They actually test a student's knowledge. The pass percentage is really good, especially in the CSE department. The course has a pass percentage of 97, to be exact.

CSE department looks great and strong placements continue.

Faculty: The curriculum is really advanced and the syllabus can be compared to IIT's. The syllabus here changes every 4 years and it is always in synchronization with the GATE syllabus. The semester exams are manageable if one attends classes and shows consistency.

Absolutely satisfied because of good placement, worth every penny.

Faculty: There are fewer responsible teachers, and the management system is not very good. The curriculum is good. If the students put in some effort beyond the syllabus, it will be a huge benefit to stand out and make them industry-ready. The semester exams are moderate, and if students are willing to put in effort for the exams, they will surely pass.

College ROI is really good.

Faculty: Faculty members are really strict, especially for the Computer Science department. They take a lot of exams compared to other colleges, and the paper evaluation is also strict, but for some branches like IT, Safety, and Fire Engineering, it’s a very high standard.

Great campus if you want to enjoy college life.

Faculty: Faculty is mostly good. Exams are postponed if there is any issue, and student groups are strong in influencing decisions. They do not force students to attend classes. It is optional, so students need to have proper self-discipline.

A places that need more improvement.

Faculty: There is a shortage of permanent faculty members currently. The available faculty members are well qualified and helpful.

It is one of the best university and the top 3 engineering college in Kerala.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. The syllabus is tougher than the Kerala Technological University syllabus. Here, students are more focused on research and projects than exam marks. In the end-semester exam, students must score 40% in the end-semester exam and 40% overall (internal + external) to pass.

Very nice college with good exposure and a strong alumni. Placements have been good in recent years.

Faculty: Although all teachers are qualified, some of them are not very good at teaching. The teaching quality can be termed as average. CUSAT’s syllabus is always up to date and is relevant, focusing on industry readiness when compared to the KTU syllabus. Semester exams are usually average. The question papers are prepared by the teachers of CUSAT and CUCEK themselves. The pass percentage for the IT branch last year was 78%.

It is mediocre, and not bad compared to other colleges in the state. It has a good campus.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very good. Faculty members are the best for IT. Apart from the 1st semester, where it's common for all those faculty, some are horrible. After the first year, it's very good. Exams are comparatively difficult compared to KTU, but the syllabus is more relevant.

Overall, the best university for the M.Sc. in mathematics course.

Faculty: The university boasts an exceptional faculty. The majority of them are from IISC, IIT, and NIT. Except for the ad hoc professors almost all of them have finished their postdoctoral studies. The curriculum and laboratories are comparable to those at the Indian Institute of Technology. The semester exams are rather easy to pass with a pass rate of more than 95 percent.

Best University for M.Sc. in Hydrochemistry Course.

Faculty: Some professors were knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive to a good degree. Some teachers had weak communication abilities. Otherwise, the full syllabus had a decent average of 70–75 percent. Our college’s 55–65 percent industry-relevant curriculum had to be changed. Some faculty members carried out the instructional method.
