Questions related to CUSAT CAT

Have a question related to CUSAT CAT ?

Hello there, Could you please explain you question briefly, which field of exam you're targeting and what exactly do you want to know about. So that we can provide you with an accurate answer which will be beneficial to you. Thankyou!

Hello Aspirant

A rank of 17440 in CUSAT CAT might not be high enough for the most popular courses or categories. However, it's essential to consider the following factors:

  • Your Category: If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), your chances of securing admission improve significantly due to the reservation system.
  • Choice of Course: Some courses might have lower cutoffs than others.
  • Previous Year Cutoffs: Analyzing previous year cutoffs can give you a better idea of your chances.

Because you belong to the OEC category, you might have a shot at a decent college, but you need to mention the college that you wish to get admitted to so that we can see their eligibility and admission procedure

Hope this helps
