Hello aspirant,

Despite heavy competition, there might be a chance for you to get into CUSAT even for  prospective courses like CE and ME, provided your category.  Cut offs for OC candidates usually closes within 1000. However, this is just a prediction. There are many colleges which accept higher ranks too.   You can have something better too. Cut offs depend on many factors like No. Of Applicants, no. of seats, difficulty level, previous cut offs and so on.

Hope this was useful. Just keep an eye to the gradual counseling process.
