Process of Counselling: -
Counseling for the CUSAT CAT (Cochin University
of Science and Technology - Common Admission Test) typically begins after the
results are announced. Candidates must register for counselling before the
counselling may begin because it is done online.
The steps in the CUSAT CAT counselling process
are as follows:
· Registration: Applicants who have
passed the CUSAT CAT exam must register for counselling by going to the official
website.
· After registering, candidates must
fill out and lock their choices of universities and courses according to their
preferences. Candidates must confirm their options by locking their choices
after they have been entered.
· Seat distribution: The candidates'
preferences and the merit list will be taken into consideration when allocating
seats. The outcome of the seat distribution will be made public on the official
website.
· Payment of fees: After receiving
their seat assignments, candidates must use the online payment system on the
official website to pay the applicable fees.
· Candidates must report to the
designated college by the deadline and at the designated time once the fee
payment has been confirmed. All required documents and certificates for the
verification process must be carried by the candidates.
· Verification of documents: When the
candidates report to the designated college, their paperwork will be checked.
The candidates will be admitted to the college if all the paperwork is confirmed
to be in order.
· It is significant to keep in mind
that the counselling procedure can change from year to year. For information on
updates and alerts relating to the counselling process, candidates are urged to
frequently check the official website.
