Cochin University of Science & Technology was initially constituted as University of Cochin
through an Act of the Government of Kerala on 10 th July 1971. The University of Cochin was re-
constituted as Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in February 1986, redefining
its objectives as “the promotion of Graduate and Post-Graduate studies and Advanced Research in
Applied Sciences, Technology, Industry, Commerce, Management and Social Sciences”.
Cast in the mould of a federal University, CUSAT is now a premier Science and Technology
University of the country, which is re-accredited with NAAC ‘A+’ Grade. During the intervening five
decades CUSAT has made quantum leaps in its academic pursuits and has spread its wings far and
wide encompassing the novel and emerging realms of the horizon of knowledge. The University has
entered into a number of collaborative ventures with reputed Universities and Institutions worldwide.
Scores of National and International academic discourses, seminars, workshops etc. are held in the
University every year providing opportunities to the student community to update themselves in their
respective fields of study. The Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research (ACARR), one
among the many Centres of excellence of CUSAT, is included in the Prime Minister’s “Make in India
Program”.
All the Academic Programmes of CUSAT are approved by UGC/AICTE. With the active
support of the Government of Kerala and various Central agencies as well as through international
collaborations, the University is poised to scale new heights in the years to come. The research
activities are supported and funded by the Central Government agencies like UGC, DST, DBT,
MHRD etc. as well as by various international research partners through various MoUs.
True to the legacy of Kerala, of being the friendliest state with avowed dedication to education,
CUSAT is home for students from across the globe. The University takes pride in the fact that it has
an envious record in campus recruitments. The pool of its highly successful and talented alumni, who
adorn key positions in a number of highly acclaimed R & D institutions and corporates in India and
abroad, are the living testimony of the academic excellence of CUSAT.

9.4.1 Choosing the Test for PG Programmes:

In the case of programmes for which option of more than one Test is provided, the
candidate may choose any one of the Tests that suits best to the subject of his quali-
fying degree. If the candidate is applying for more than one programme, check for the
availability of Test that is common for all the programmes applied for.
9.4.2 Marks and Scoring
For each right answer three (3) marks will be awarded and for each wrong answer one
(1) mark will be deducted. In the case of programmes where score in more than one Test
are considered for ranking, rank lists are drawn up on the basis of the Percentile Index
determined by the formula, [(n+1-p)/n] x S x 100 where n is the number of candidates
appearing for the Test in a particular subject and p is the position according to the
CAT score and S is the actual score of the candidate. The Percentile Indices are then
integrated to obtain the relative position of a candidate in the rank list for a particular
programme.
9.4.3 Criteria for breaking ties, if any, in the rank lists:
In the case where the rank list is based on the score in a single test the total correct
answers will be considered for tie breaking. If percentile score from different tests are
used for preparing rank list the score in the individual Test will be considered for tie
breaking. If the tie continues, dates of birth of the candidates in the descending (older to
younger) order and the names of the candidates in alphabetical order will be considered
in the respective order.

How to reach CUSAT

Kochi (erstwhile Cochin) is well connected by Air, Rail, Road and Sea.
By Air.
The Cochin International Airport located at Nedumbassery is about 26 km and a mere 30 minutes’
drive from the Main Campus (Campus 1) of CUSAT.
By Rail.
The Railway Station at Alwaye (Aluva) is 13 kms north of Campus 1 and has the convenience of an
adjacent Bus Station, from where very frequent City Buses bound for Ernakulam and beyond will take
you in 15 minutes to CUSAT bus stop at Kalamassery (South Kalamassery). Metro train facility is also
available from Ernakulam and Aluva to Cochin University Metro station. Auto rickshaws are available
at the South Kalamassery bus stop for transport to Campus 1, One kilometer away. Alternatively, one
may alight at Ernakulam Town (North) or Ernakulam Junction (South) Railway Stations, both of which
are on the southern side of Campus 1. However, note that all trains will not stop at both the stations.
Buses bound for Alwaye are available from nearby bus stops for travel to South Kalamassery (13 kms)
from nearby bus stops of these two railway stations.
By Road.
Almost all long distance KSRTC and interstate buses plying along National Highway 47 to Ernakulam
from north have a ‘Request Bus Stop’ at CUSAT bus stop. If travelling by City Buses, the Bus stop
nearest to Campus 1 is South Kalamassery. If travelling from the South, you may alight at Vyttila
Mobility Hub and then take a City Bus bound to Alwaye to step down at South Kalamassery.
By Sea.
The Cochin Port is situated on Willington Island, which faces the City (Lakeside) Campus and is just
across the adjoining back waters.
The Lakeside Campus is only 2 km from the Ernakulam Junction (South) Railway Station.
The Kuttanadu Campus (Campus 2) – [Cochin University College of Engineering Kuttanadu – CUCEK]
is situated at Pulincunnoo, Alappuzha District (80 KM away from Campus 1).
