Hello Aspirant

A rank of 17440 in CUSAT CAT might not be high enough for the most popular courses or categories. However, it's essential to consider the following factors:

• Your Category: If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), your chances of securing admission improve significantly due to the reservation system.
• Choice of Course: Some courses might have lower cutoffs than others.
• Previous Year Cutoffs: Analyzing previous year cutoffs can give you a better idea of your chances.

Because you belong to the OEC category, you might have a shot at a decent college, but you need to mention the college that you wish to get admitted to so that we can see their eligibility and admission procedure

Hope this helps
