Top recruiters are Federal Bank, ICIC Bank, DHL, TCS, EY, Turn B, Walkraro, Asian Paints, KPMG, etc. This year, almost 80% of students got internship opportunities through our college placement cell. The companies that offered internships were Federal, ICIC, VKC, Kochi metro and other startup companies from Kerala. Usually, companies offer management trainee jobs and other domain executive jobs.
    Infrastructure: The department building is 60-year-old building but it goes through renovation every year. It has Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the campus and also has well-furnished, fully air-conditioned computer labs. The sms department also has a library and the university also has a big library with endless books and articles, etc. When we look at the quality of the hostels, there are around 14 hostels for students, which also includes hostels for international students. Some hostels are new and some are old but each hostels is available at cheap cost. Around 350 rupees only for a month. The mess and canteen provide good and healthy food at an affordable price for the students. The CUSAT amenity central has a clinic for medical facilities for students. The sports and games include all the games and sports activities with university support. The boxing club here is good, with good coaches headed by Karthik Sir.
    Faculty: Teachers are qualified with PhDs from top colleges in the country, like IIM and NITs. Each faculty member has their own unique way of teaching, which I personally like. The course curriculum is relevant and focuses on experiential learning with case studies and industry collaborations. Exams are at a moderately tough level. Almost 98% students will pass the exams.
    Other: I would like to start my own business so I need business knowledge. The reason I chose this institution is because it has a 60-year legacy and a strong alumni network. The class timings are not good, which starts from 9:30 to 5:30, which really shortens the day. There are lots of e-grants provided for the students. CUSAT is also famous for its cultural events. SMS conducts the management fest talent time and there are also lots of other department festivals and programmes. There are 8,000 students studying at CUSAT.
