CUSAT CAT Eligibility Criteria 2026 - Check Age Limit, Nationality, Aggregate Marks

It's definitely possible to find CUSAT CAT Chapter-wise Previous Year Questions (PYQs), though they might not be consolidated into one single official book.

Here's the best approach, based on the question paper information:

1. Online Repositories: The official CUSAT website often provides PDF dumps of the full question papers (like the one linked in the Careers360 article). You'll need to manually sort the questions chapter-wise or subject-wise (Physics, Chemistry, Maths).

2. Publisher Guides: Specialized coaching institutes or publishers create comprehensive guides that have already performed the chapter-wise sorting for you.

3. Focus Subjects: Since the exam covers your Class 11 and 12 PCM syllabus, using JEE Main chapter-wise books for practice is often a highly effective substitute for the CUSAT paper format.

Consistent practice with these organized questions is the key to cracking the exam! Check the resource page for question paper updates. https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/cusat-cat-question-paper

Yes, candidates who qualify in CUSAT CAT can gain admission to various participating institutes based on their rank. These include engineering colleges associated with CUSAT, such as its own School of Engineering in Kochi, Model Engineering College, and over 20 government and private engineering colleges across Kerala like College of Engineering Thrikkaripur, Co-operative Institute of Technology Vadakara, and MG College of Engineering Thiruvallam. The final seat allotment is based on your rank and your choice of program during the counselling process.

Dear Aspirant

Your rank at eleven thousand eight hundred eighty seven under the OBC reservation has a strong chance for admission to the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) program at one of the three CUSAT campuses The exact seat depends on opening and closing ranks for CSE in each campus and the round of counselling

CUSAT campuses offering BTech CSE
• School of Engineering Thrikkakkara – flagship campus in Kochi
• CUCEK Kuttanad – second campus in Alappuzha district
• Lakeside campus does not offer CSE so only two campuses are relevant

Previous closing ranks under OBC quota for CSE
• Thrikkakkara campus closed near rank one thousand
• CUCEK Kuttanad closed around six thousand two hundred in 2024

Your likelihood with rank 11887
• Thrikkakkara campus is unlikely as CSE closes much lower than your rank
• CUCEK has potential since closing ranks in recent years have extended into the high six thousands
• Seats may remain open in later rounds so you may gain admission at CUCEK

Other CSE seat possibilities under OBC
• School of Engineering might open seats in spot or mop up rounds if higher ranked students do not confirm
• CUCEK will likely accept OBC candidates up to rank one two thousand to thirteen thousand
• Keep an eye on real time counselling as closing ranks may shift downward with seat cancellations

Alternative branches and campuses
If CSE is not available at CUCEK you may consider similar branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering Information Technology Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering closing beyond twelve thousand under OBC
You may also add interdisciplinary programs or lateral entry courses available in Lakeside or Thrikkakkara depending on available seats

Counselling strategy recommendations
• Register and fill choices on the CUSAT admissions portal in all counselling rounds
• Place CUCEK CSE as a high preference followed by ECE or IT at Thrikkakkara or CUCEK
• Monitor round wise closing ranks through the portal or official communications
• Participate in mop up and spot rounds where seats are more likely available near your rank

Key considerations
• Cutoffs decrease between rounds allowing more opportunities in later phases
• OBC candidates compete within their category reducing competition compared to open rankings
• CUCEK is your best target campus for CSE at your rank under OBC
• You must have all documents ready like previous marksheet category certificate and CUSAT admit card for verification

Let me know if you would like a suggested list of choices tailored to your academic interest or want help tracking counselling round data

If your photo is missing from the CUSAT CAT 2025 admit card, it’s not a major issue and can be resolved. First, contact the CUSAT admissions office by email, explaining the problem and providing your application details. They may ask for additional documents, such as a recent passport-sized photograph. Once they respond, print the admit card and affix the photo in the designated space. Make sure to handle this promptly to avoid any issues on the day of the exam.
