Cochin University of Science and Technology Common Admission Test(CUSAT CAT)

About the exam

About CUSAT CAT

CUSAT CAT, the Common Admission Test of Cochin University of Science and Technology in Kochi, ranks applicants for that university's B.Tech, integrated, law and postgraduate seats. It is a separate test from the IIM CAT: CUSAT's full-time and evening MBA programmes set no CUSAT paper of their own and accept an IIM CAT, CMAT or KMAT score instead.

For 2026 CUSAT also raised the reward for a right answer on the B.Tech paper from three marks to four, so a scoring rule copied from the 2025 prospectus no longer applies.

The CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus sets out the rules for the Common Admission Test and for every admission step that follows it in the 2026-27 academic year. It states that all tests under CAT are computer-based multiple-choice papers, answered on a computer provided at the test centre.

MBA and M.Tech applicants register on the same portal but sit no CAT paper: MBA applicants enter an IIM CAT overall percentile, a CMAT total NTA score or a KMAT percentile, and M.Tech applicants are ranked on GATE scores. Everyone else is sorted by test code. A B.Tech applicant writes Test Code 101, the same paper used for the integrated MCA and for integrated M.Sc programmes such as Mathematics, Physics and Photonics, while five-year law applicants write Test Code 201, diploma holders seeking lateral entry write Test Code 102, and postgraduate applicants pick a subject test such as 604 for Chemistry or 613 for Physics (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

The 2026 papers were sat from 9 May 2026 to 11 May 2026, and one session at Universal Engineering College, Irinjalakuda, rescheduled because of a server issue on 9 May, was held on 31 May 2026, according to notices in the CUSAT admissions news archive.

CUSAT CAT highlights

Calendar

Important dates

CUSAT publishes its dates in two layers: a tentative list at the back of the prospectus, and dated notices that amend it as the cycle runs. For CAT 2026, notices issued during the cycle extended the UG and PG registration deadline, the M.Tech application deadline and the B.Tech option window.

A year earlier, the CUSAT CAT 2025 Prospectus had set UG and PG registration from 6 February 2025 to 10 March 2025 and tentatively scheduled the computer-based test for 10, 11 and 12 May 2025.

Who can apply

Eligibility criteria

No single eligibility rule covers every CUSAT CAT programme, and qualifying in the test does not settle it either. The CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus says rank lists include every candidate who qualifies in the test irrespective of academic eligibility, that being listed does not entitle anyone to admission, and that B.Tech, integrated and five-year law candidates who cannot produce the qualifying mark list at counselling or admission forfeit their candidature.

B.Tech Branches and Their Mark Floors

For the regular B.Tech branches, the CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus asks for a pass in Class 12 from the Kerala Higher Secondary board, CBSE, CISCE or an equivalent examination with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, carrying at least 50% in Mathematics on its own and 50% in the three subjects together. Kerala Scheduled Caste and Kerala Scheduled Tribe candidates need only pass marks, non-creamy-layer SEBC candidates from Kerala get a 5% relaxation, and differently abled candidates are held to the same conditions as SC and ST candidates, cut-off marks and age included.

Two branches add conditions of their own. Naval Architecture and Ship Building asks for a first class, which the prospectus defines as 60%, on top of the 50% floors in Mathematics and in the three subjects together, and Instrumentation and Control Engineering adds the physical fitness conditions the university prescribes (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

The Kunjali Marakkar School of Marine Engineering does not use the CUSAT paper for its B.Tech Marine Engineering seats. Its students are admitted on the rank list of the Common Entrance Test of the Indian Maritime University, and the CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus also requires a Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics average of at least 60%, at least 50% in Mathematics, 50% in English at Class 10 or 12 with no relaxation for SC, ST or SEBC candidates, an age of no more than 25 years on 1 September of the admission year, a medical fitness certificate from a doctor approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, and a valid passport.

Diploma holders enter the third semester through Test Code 102 with a three-year engineering diploma carrying at least 60% from a board recognised by Kerala's Department of Technical Education. CIPET's diplomas in Plastic Technology and Plastic Mould Technology are accepted for Polymer Science and Engineering and for Mechanical Engineering, and lateral entry to Instrumentation and Control Engineering needs a diploma in Instrumentation or Electronics (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Integrated, Law and Postgraduate Programmes

The five-year and four-year programmes open to Class 12 students each carry their own subject rule and test code.

The integrated M.Sc in Environmental Science and Technology splits its seats into two streams of 12 candidates each, one ranked on Test Code 101 and one on Test Code 104, and draws from the other stream if one runs short of qualified candidates (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

At postgraduate level the rules change again. MBA (Full Time) and MBA (Evening Regular) need a bachelor's degree with 50% and a valid score from a CMAT or KMAT conducted after November 2025 or from the November 2025 IIM CAT, and a score obtained after the MBA application closed on 30 April 2026 is not considered; the final MBA rank weighs that score, a personal interview and Class 12 marks at 70:20:10. The MBA (Executive), which asks for two years of work experience after graduation, also accepts a department admission test set by the School of Management Studies (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

M.Tech applicants are ranked on GATE scores, and a departmental admission test is used only when there are not enough GATE-qualified candidates. LL.M applicants need a law degree with 50% and sit Test Code 610, followed by a group discussion and an interview, with the rank built 20% from Part I of the test, 50% from Part II, 15% from the group discussion and 15% from the interview (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Keralite Status, Seat Pools and Reservation

Where a candidate comes from decides which seats they can be allotted. The CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus treats a candidate as Keralite if the candidate or a parent was born in Kerala, if the candidate has lived in Kerala for 5 years within a period of 12 years, or if the candidate studied from Standard VIII to XII in Kerala; children of All India Service officers allotted to the Kerala circle are deemed Keralite but cannot claim the communal or special reservations meant for Keralites.

B.Tech seats split three ways. Of the approved seats, 50% are State Merit seats at a lower fee, open only to Keralites who selected that status in the application, 45% are All India Merit seats at a higher fee, open to Keralites and non-Keralites alike, and 5% are NRI seats with a separate fee structure (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Outside B.Tech, 10% of undergraduate seats form an All India Quota, 50% of the general category seats in postgraduate programmes other than M.Tech are earmarked the same way, and tuition on All India Quota seats is 25% higher. Non-Keralites can be considered only for All India Quota and NRI seats (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

NRI status itself is not required for an NRI seat. Any Indian citizen or OCI cardholder may choose NRI seats in the online application, pays Rs 5,000 more in application fee, and submits a declaration at admission, according to the CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus.

Kerala's Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Socially and Educationally Backward Classes hold 40% of seats under both of the prospectus's reservation patterns, but the split between communities differs (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Three further schemes add seats rather than taking them from that split. The prospectus sets aside 10% for Economically Weaker Sections as supernumerary seats, sanctions two additional seats in all programmes for transgender candidates, and runs the AICTE tuition fee waiver scheme on up to 5% of the approved intake of AICTE-approved B.Tech programmes for families whose annual income does not exceed Rs 8 lakh (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Sports quota candidates must still apply for and qualify in the CAT. The Kerala State Sports Council awards marks for sporting proficiency, up to a maximum of 500, and those marks are added to the candidate's CAT marks to build a separate sports quota rank list (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

OCI and PIO cardholders who secured that status before 4 March 2021 are treated on par with Indian citizens for admission but get no reservation; those who secured it later can be admitted only to NRI seats and seats reserved for OCI and PIO candidates (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Candidates Still Sitting the Qualifying Exam

Candidates appearing for their final-year or final-semester qualifying examination may apply for the B.Tech and other undergraduate tests on two conditions: they are sitting that examination in full and for the first time, and they have passed every examination before it. Candidates taking compartmental, improvement or supplementary papers do not get this privilege (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

A relaxation of five marks in the higher secondary cutoff applies to undergraduate applicants who earned the Rajyapuraskar or Nanmudra certificate through Scouts, Guides, Rovers or Rangers during higher secondary (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Step by step

Application process and fee

The CAT portal is the entry point even for many applicants who will never sit the paper. The CUSAT CAT 2026 FAQ tells MBA and M.Tech applicants to register for CUSAT CAT 2026 even though they are not required to attend the exam, and tells candidates who want only CUET-reserved postgraduate seats that they must still complete the CAT application.

The form runs in steps. After personal and reservation details, the candidate uploads a photograph of 150 to 500 KB with a resolution between 800 x 1000 and 1200 x 1500 pixels and a signature of 20 to 100 KB, then selects programmes, at which point the portal displays the test codes available for each one except MBA and M.Tech (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Payment by card, UPI or net banking comes before the choice of test centre, which appears only after a successful payment, while MBA and M.Tech applications end at payment because there is no centre to choose (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

An application that is not updated to Approved within ten days should be raised with the help desk, and the details may be edited once through the candidate profile before the last date (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus). That single edit cannot change the name, email ID, mobile number, nationality, programme category or test centre, according to the CUSAT CAT 2026 FAQ.

Sitting more than two test codes, or opting for NRI or Gulf-worker seats, raises the application fee.

Seats reserved for international and PIO candidates carry an application fee of US $110, or Rs 9,100 for ICCR scholars. MBA and M.Tech applicants pay the base fee and no additional test fee, because there is no CAT for those programmes, and a candidate seeking only CUET-reserved seats pays Rs 1,500, as does an M.Tech applicant who also wants to be considered for them (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Once remitted, the fee is kept whatever the reason, and the CUSAT CAT 2026 FAQ rules out a refund even for a wrongly submitted application. The prospectus also keeps PhD, postdoctoral, diploma and certificate applications off the portal altogether: those forms come from the departments (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Before the exam

Admit card and exam day

For CUSAT CAT 2026 the admit card became downloadable from the candidate profile on 27 April 2026, with a same-day notice asking candidates to report any error in its test codes or other details to the help desk at once (CUSAT admissions news archive).

CUSAT's CAT 2026 admit card instructions tell candidates to carry a printed admit card with a valid photo ID, to reach the venue at least 90 minutes before the test begins because late entry is not permitted, and to keep the admit card safely until the admission process is complete. Electronic devices, study material and other unauthorised items are prohibited inside the examination hall.

Structure

Exam pattern

The 2026 prospectus sets every CUSAT CAT paper as objective questions, and the test code attached to a programme decides which paper a candidate sits.

Among the postgraduate tests, Tests 301, 501, 502, 601, 610, 611, 616 and 625 each carry 150 questions, while the prospectus describes the subject tests in Chemistry, Electronic Science, Fisheries, Geology, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics only as graduate-level papers (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

The CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus scores the B.Tech paper as S = 4R - 1W, where R is the number of right answers and W the number of wrong ones, so each right answer earns four marks and each wrong answer loses one. The other test codes it describes use the same four marks for a right answer and one deducted for a wrong one, and on Test 101 and the other undergraduate tests a candidate who fails to answer at least one question is disqualified and left out of the rank list.

Test 101 also carries a qualifying floor: B.Tech ranking needs a normalised score of at least 10 for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together, a floor that does not apply to SC and ST candidates, who must still answer at least one question. The prospectus names a normalised score here without setting out how the normalisation is done (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Test 101 ran differently in 2025 on marking, timing and the qualifying floor. The CUSAT CAT 2025 Prospectus scored the same 225-question paper as S = 3R - 1W, ran it in timed sections with Physics first for 60 minutes, Chemistry next for 45 minutes and Mathematics last for 75 minutes, and asked for at least 10 marks in Mathematics and 10 in Physics and Chemistry combined. The Test 101 description in the 2026 prospectus carries no section-wise time split.

Ties on the B.Tech rank list go first to marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in that order, then to the number of correct answers in the same order, then to the older candidate, and finally to alphabetical order of names (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

What to study

Syllabus

The 2026 prospectus describes each CAT paper by subject and level rather than printing a chapter-by-chapter topic list. Tests 101 and 104 are both based on the Plus Two syllabus, the first in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and the second in Physics, Chemistry and Biology, while Test 106 is set at a level answerable by candidates who studied Hindi as a second language at Plus Two (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

The postgraduate papers are pitched at graduate level, and some carry a stated subject mix. Test 616 in Economics and Finance draws 40% of its questions from Economics, 30% from Mathematics and Statistics and 30% from the Indian Economy, and Test 601 in Biotechnology takes 30% each from Biotechnology and Microbiology and 10% each from Zoology, Botany, Biochemistry and Chemistry (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Test 502 for M.Sc Computer Science sets 100 questions on Computer Science and Applications, naming C, C++, database management systems, algorithms, data structures and operating systems, and 50 on logical reasoning and basic mathematics. Test 501 for MCA and the M.Voc in Software Application Development puts about 50% of its questions on engineering or B.Sc subsidiary-level Mathematics and the rest on logical reasoning (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Test 610 for the LL.M programmes has two parts: Part I carries 50 questions on English and general knowledge and 50 on analytical reasoning and research capability, and Part II carries 40 questions on the compulsory law papers prescribed by the Bar Council of India and 10 on intellectual property law (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

For non-GATE candidates, the departmental admission test for the M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is based on the GATE Computer Science and Information Technology syllabus (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

How to prepare

Preparation and books

The CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus refers candidates to some of the previous years' question papers on the university library website. That archive, CUSAT CAT Previous Years' Question Papers, lists its sets year by year, the newest being 2025.

The 2025 question paper set holds Test 101 papers for B.Tech Shift I, Shift II, Shift III and Shift IV, alongside the B.Voc, law, lateral entry, MCA and postgraduate subject papers. Those papers come from a cycle scored at S = 3R - 1W under the CUSAT CAT 2025 Prospectus, not the 2026 formula.

In the 2026 cycle the candidate profile also carried a practice option: the profile screenshot in CUSAT's CAT 2026 admit card instructions shows a MOCK Test entry inviting candidates to take a mock test for the selected programmes. The 2026 prospectus names no textbooks.

Where it is held

Exam centres

The 2026 centre list varied with the test. For the B.Tech, integrated M.Sc and integrated MCA tests, the CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus listed all-India centres at New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Patna, Ranchi and Kota, and at every district headquarters in Kerala: Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, Wayanad and Kasaragod.

Postgraduate tests, the five-year law test, the integrated Econometrics and Hindi tests and the B.Voc test were listed for the Kerala district headquarters plus New Delhi and Bengaluru, and the lateral entry test for Kerala's district headquarters only. Departmental admission tests are conducted by the departments themselves on dates they announce, and the university reserves the right to cancel, shift or merge test centres (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Centres are chosen in the application only after the fee is paid, and the prospectus warns that the centres shown are indicative and can change at the actual selection stage (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

After the exam

Answer key

CUSAT released the CAT 2026 answer key inside the candidate profile. The key and its objection link opened on 14 May 2026 with objections due by 18 May 2026, and the final key for the tests held from 9 May 2026 to 11 May 2026 was posted on 25 May 2026 (CUSAT admissions news archive).

Candidates from the rescheduled session got a separate key and objection link on 31 May 2026, with objections closing on 1 June 2026, according to the CUSAT admissions news archive.

CUSAT's CAT 2026 objection handling instructions describe the portal. A candidate logs in with the registration number from exam registration, sees each test attended with both the official answer key and their own recorded responses, and raises an objection by selecting its type and uploading supporting documents or a justification, which can be viewed again after submission.

Scores

Result and scorecard

CUSAT's 2026 notices announce results as rank lists. On 11 June 2026 the university said the UG and PG rank lists were published and that candidates could log in to their profiles to see their rank positions (CUSAT admissions news archive).

The CUSAT CAT Rank List page lets a reader choose a programme and view its list, which shows each candidate's register number, name, reservation, special reservation and general rank, with a note that reservation benefits are subject to verification of original documents.

For postgraduate programmes that rank candidates on more than one test, the CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus converts each score to a Percentile Index, ((n + 1 - p) / n) x S x 100, where n is the number of candidates who took that test, p is the candidate's position by CAT score and S is the actual score, and integrates the indices into one rank list.

Scores you need

Cutoff

CUSAT publishes its closing ranks itself. The CUSAT Last Rank Details page lets a reader choose the 2024, 2025 or 2026 admission year and a programme category, from B.Tech, B.Let and B.Voc to integrated M.Sc, the five-year LL.B programmes, MCA, MBA, M.Tech and other postgraduate programmes, and returns the last rank for each programme and seat type in columns for general merit, All India Quota, each Kerala community quota and special categories such as EWS, fee waiver and NRI.

Getting a seat

Counselling and seat allotment

Allotment runs through the CUSAT candidate profile and, for B.Tech real-time rounds, at the university's Seminar Complex, and each programme group follows its own track.

Option Registration and the Three B.Tech Allotments

B.Tech applicants cannot choose branches or seat categories in the application form. Candidates on the B.Tech rank list register options afterwards, picking branch and seat category (State Merit, All India Merit or NRI) in order of preference, and anyone who does not register options in time is not considered for allotment; candidates claiming Gulf-worker or CUSAT-staff seats must include All India Merit seats among their options (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

In 2026, B.Tech option registration ran from 16 June to an extended close on 28 June 2026, and the three allotments followed on 3 July, 15 July and 20 July 2026, each with its own fee-payment deadline (CUSAT admissions news archive).

Paying the fee decides what happens next. CUSAT's B.Tech allotment instructions for 2026-27 say a candidate who misses the payment deadline loses every option and is not considered in later allotments, though they can still take part in any real-time admission, while a candidate who pays keeps all higher options and loses the lower ones, and can hold the current seat only by cancelling the higher options in the profile before the payment deadline.

Fee waiver seats follow the same logic: a candidate allotted one who wants to keep it must delete all higher options, because moving to a higher option cancels the fee waiver seat (B.Tech allotment instructions for 2026-27).

Real-Time Admission Rounds

Seats still vacant after the allotments go to real-time admission. For 2026 the first B.Tech round was scheduled from 27 July, the second from 5 August, a special round for SC, ST and OEC candidates on 11 August, the third on 13 and 14 August, and the fourth on 10 September 2026 (CUSAT admissions news archive).

CUSAT's B.Tech fourth real-time admission instructions, dated 7 September 2026, show how a round works. Registration is online with a Rs 1,000 fee that SC and ST candidates do not pay, that is adjusted in the tuition fee of anyone who accepts and completes admission, and that is refunded to anyone who gets no seat; candidates are then called by name in order of CAT 2026 rank, and a seat freed when someone moves is offered at once to the highest-ranked eligible candidate.

Accepting a new seat automatically cancels any earlier allotment, and failing to confirm the new seat and pay cancels both. Vacant SEBC and other special reservation seats are converted to general seats for the next round, supernumerary seats are never converted, and the second round of the fourth admission let candidates who had not opted for NRI or Gulf-worker seats claim them afresh on paying Rs 5,000 more (B.Tech fourth real-time admission instructions).

The SC, ST and OEC round kept a fallback of its own. Its 2026 instructions allowed SC and ST candidates without a CAT 2026 rank to be considered for vacancies after the first round of that special admission, and stated that SC and ST seats left vacant would not be converted to general or any other category under any circumstances.

Integrated, Law, MBA and Postgraduate Seats

The other programmes moved on separate tracks. In 2026 the postgraduate and five-year LL.B allotments appeared on 18 June and 25 June, the MBA and IDMPM allotments on 20 June and 27 June, and real-time counselling for the integrated programmes and B.Voc was set for 23 June 2026 (CUSAT admissions news archive).

A CUET PG score opens a separate pool. In postgraduate programmes other than MBA, 10% of the sanctioned strength is reserved as supernumerary seats filled from CUET ranks, and a candidate who applies through both routes is considered on the CAT rank first, or the GATE rank for M.Tech, before the CUET list (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Department-level real-time admissions carry the cycle into September. The newest entries in the CUSAT admissions news archive, posted on 15 September 2026, schedule real-time admissions on 18 September 2026 for the two-year LL.M (IPR) and on 19 September 2026 for the five-year BBA LL.B (Hons.), the integrated M.Sc in Econometrics and Data Science, the M.Sc in Econometrics and Financial Technology and the M.Sc in Environmental Science and Technology; its newest B.Tech entry, dated 8 September 2026, published the schedule for the fourth real-time admission.

Cancelling an Admission

Whether AICTE or UGC approves a programme sets how long a full refund stays open. CUSAT's revised refund notice for 2026-27, dated 19 August 2026, allows a full refund up to 31 July 2026 for AICTE-approved programmes, B.Tech, MCA, integrated MCA, MBA (Full Time and Evening Regular) and M.Tech among them. For UGC-approved programmes, including the integrated M.Sc, integrated M.A. Hindi, the five-year LL.B degrees, LL.M, M.Sc and B.Voc, the refund is full up to 30 September 2026, full minus a Rs 1,000 processing fee from 1 October 2026 to 31 October 2026, and nil from 1 November 2026; the notice adds that these UGC-programme terms will be revised once the UGC refund policy for 2026-27 is published.

Where it is accepted

Participating institutes

The CUSAT CAT 2026 prospectus covers admission to the university's own programmes on three campuses: the main campus at Thrikkakara, Kalamassery (Campus 1), the Cochin University College of Engineering Kuttanad at Pulinkunnu in Alappuzha district, 80 km from Campus 1 (Campus 2), and the Lakeside Campus on the banks of the Cochin estuary, 12 km from Campus 1. The prospectus also covers PhD programmes at research institutions recognised by CUSAT across Kerala, but those applications are made through the departments rather than the CAT portal (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Test Code 101 leads to both engineering campuses. The School of Engineering on Campus 1 and CUCEK on Campus 2 both offer B.Tech in Civil, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, and Information Technology, while Mechanical, Safety and Fire, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, the last listed with AICTE approval pending, are offered only at the School of Engineering; CUCEK also takes MCA students ranked on Test Code 501 (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).

Seats in B.Tech Marine Engineering, the M.Tech in Marine Biotechnology, the Lakshadweep-sponsored B.Tech quota and the part-time B.Tech are filled on other measures. Marine Engineering admits from the Indian Maritime University CET, Marine Biotechnology from GAT-B, the Graduate Aptitude Test in Biotechnology, and the Lakshadweep seats from a list forwarded by the Lakshadweep Administration, whose candidates do not register for or sit the CAT. The part-time B.Tech in Civil and Mechanical Engineering, which the prospectus marks as not approved by AICTE, ranks diploma holders in technical employment on diploma marks (50%), a department admission test (40%) and years of experience (up to 10%) (CUSAT CAT 2026 Prospectus).
