Admission Process
B.Tech and most other programmes admit students through CUSAT CAT, the university's own computer-based entrance test, with applications at admissions.cusat.ac.in. JEE Main scores are not accepted for B.Tech. M.Tech admission gives preference to GATE scores, and MBA admission is through a national management entrance score followed by group discussion and interview.
