CUSAT is a cool university , I am a 2nd year student in SOE CUSAT and the campus environment is just great , The campus is full of freedom and compared to KTU, cochin university has more scope and easy syllabus .
CUSAT has many collages under it like SLS, SOE, instrumentation , photonics , biotechnology and mny more.
Cusat has various art festivals and tech fest which are widely known over kerala , the teaching staff and infrastructure is cool and the hostel, canteen everything is perfect .
CUSAT would be a good choice for a great collage life.
