In some of my posts I have written some things against CUSAT. And with my latest post, some asked me why I hate CUSAT so much. Actually I dont hate CUSAT. I love it very much, after all I hold an engineering degree from CUSAT. How can I hate it.
Here Ill write some of the things I heard about CUSAT before joining CUSAT.
- The only Technology University in Kerala (Very True)
- The only university in Kerala, whose name is known outside Kerala
- CUSAT degree has got more value than any other university in Kerala
- Companies give preference to students with a CUSAT degree
- If you want to study abroad you definitely need a CUSAT degree
- CUSAT Syllabus is the best in India
- CUSAT will soon become an IIT
Now I am not going to comment on any of these, Cos I Love CUSAT.
I graduated with an IT Degree. Here is what I heard in addition:
1. IT department is a research center for DRDO, later realized that its only a division under SOE not even a department and the DRDO contract ended in early 90’s.
2. CUSAT has professors of international repute. Needn’t say that we struggled for even visiting faculty who were just plain B.Tech(s), mostly from CUSAT itself.
Realized many more things yet I do not feel like blaming on to CUSAT but on ourselves. Inspite of thousands of students graduating, we lacked visionaries, lacking Alumni network support and many such things.
Even though we realized the dark side of CUSAT after graduating, what did we do to make things better? We all have some defensive arguments I know, but the fact is that we failed to uplift CUSAT.
However, I’m hopeful after a cycle when we have some students getting disproportionate success, we’ll be able to resolve few things to start with.

Internal changes can be made only by people with power. I am in no power to change the syllabus of the administrative environment there. Me and a few friends of mine organised a barcamp in CUSAT. Also helping out some students with their projects also.
Comment by admin — March 4, 2008 @ 12:07 pm
Very interesting, organizing the Barcamp in itself is a commendable task. Din’t know you were behind the effort.
IMO we perhaps needn’t try to change the syllabus at all but supplement the campus culture, help students become visionaries and extraordinarily good at some one thing, technology, problem solving, strategizing etc.
If even half the students can develop constructive thought process and be technically strong, this will automatically bring a positive impact on to the top level.
Perhaps promoting entrepreneurship can bring some positive difference.

I have never seen more Bullshit. REC-Calicut and CET are the best and prestigious engg colleges in Kerala where hte best and brightest come. CUSAT is 2nd tier Univ.
Comment by displaced — March 15, 2008 @ 12:32 pm
I agree to displaced’s post above. CUSAT B.tech is 2nd Tier. Only those who do not qualify for Kerala entrance get in CUSAT.
My Kerala engineering entrance rank was 327, and CUSAT rank was ~21 (for ECE).
Comment by Appachen — March 26, 2008 @ 9:18 pm

It is really happy news to both parents, students , teachers and public that name IIT (Kochi) is conferred on CUSAT out of 200 odd colleges selected in the first place !Its very ideally located to benefit students from Kerala and all the southern most parts of the neighbouring state.All the efforts of CUSAT to achieve academic excellence has yielded the results! Best wishes IIT(Kochi).The Kerala Govt ,CM Oomen Chandy,Ministers MP s,VC cusat,teachers and CUSAT students need to be congratulated!!!The right decision of UPA Govt at the right time is to be welcomed.may the Almighty Bless the new IIT and its students!!

Comment by navneet aryan — July 9, 2008 @ 1:44 am
no body spoke about the school of legal studies and its LLB and LLM courses. why? is this course insignificantly placed as compared to the tech courses. in addition there is this private college called NUALS that has sprung up though with the recognition granted by CUSAT
somebody give me your opinion
Comment by mcnemara — July 29, 2008 @ 3:27 pm
I am a CUSAT faculty member (Dept of Maths). I found the posts quite interesting although most assume that CUSAT is an engg college. Now the IIEST dream is dead and an IIT looks very unlikely.
In my opinion CUSAT needs a lot of restructuring if it is to improve.
But I think it is not worse than some engg colleges in Kerala which have a better reputation! (I’m talking only about teaching, not placement.)

navneet aryan is a motherfucker(madarchod).why he is telling a lie….. is cusat paying his mother and sister for fucking???????? no company comes from the list…… 5 students are selected out of 60. those also are not sure b’coz many get removed before call and many are not even called…….. if u have to fuck your career come to cusat…..

Duh…..the plain truth…its..wierd…its like “been there..done that”….good memoirs…bad ramifications….studies huh…well ur are on ur own…you study you good…no one to f*&^%n baby feed u…so all those types who need an xtra push all the time..go hunt for Private Colls(M.E.C, Rajagiri and all….)..umpteen chances to write the xams,supplies and all…but results are at THEIR mercy…so fingers crossed while expectin the results…
and……the University boasts ,the only campus to have a BAR and a Gynaecologist inside the Campus…so u know….In Short…Its FUN in ur own limits….
