CUSAT to become an IIT

But first wtf is CUSAT?? CUSAT=Cochin University of Science and Technology Anybody who at first sight guesses the meaning of CUSAT deserves a Medal. In fact anybody who even knows that there is something called CUSAT deserves atleast a prize. According to this article cochin university is going to be granted the status of an IIT. For once the Government of India should be serious about higher education. I mean i never even heard about "CUSAT" before i read this article. Now this is an online publication so i don't know how accurate it is but The Hindu is generelly pretty reliable so i guess the news is true. How can a place like CUSAT which never does any creditable work of any kind(never seen or heard of them in any technical/sports competition till date) leave alone research, become an IIT. I mean if this is how IIT's are made an this is there standard then i am sooooooo happy to be in IIIT. People will argue that the facilities will improve. But what about faculty? I'm sure the faculty of "CUSAT" are not upto IIT standard. So are they going to fire the entire "CUSAT" faculty overnight? this is a joke of the highest order. Man somebody needs to kick the governments ass.........

I am really sorry to write a negetive command on this topic. I met several students who did bachlers and masters from different parts of india most of them are from IITs, everybody knows about CUSAT which has an increadible record of higher education. I did my MSc from CUSAT a couple of years before. Our physics faculty is great, upto the IIT standard, only we need some more facilities and equipments to cope with other IITs. Let me speak about the students of my own class, we have en increadible record of getting CSIR, UGC almost all got it, also most of us has a high score in GATE as well. Still 40% of us are in europe doing PhD a few did MTech in other IITs and Photonics department of CUSAT and all in well paid position now. Photonics dept of CUSAT is going to be the leading department in Laser Physics in india. Electronics departmental facilities are incomparable as well.
Other departments like Computer Science, Biotechnology, Mathematics and Engineering departments are also doing very fine. Just looking at the placements they get is enough to know about the standard. A lot of students from North india is there in the above departments as well.
I am sorry to tell you that you don't have any idea about emerging high class institutions in south india.

@anonymous... I'm not sure if what you say makes CUSAT a high class institution. Merely stating that 'departments like Computer Science... are also doing very fine' shows absolutely _nothing_. May be the Physics and Photonics departments are good, but that is not sufficient to qualify for being a top notch institute. I could go ahead and name a huge number of institutes which have their alumni in europe/US. That does not qualify for anything. Having students with high GATE scores is quite common at most of the good institutes all over the country... and in no way qualifies you to be granted an IIT status. IITs have excelled in producing good undergraduate students... how many has CUSAT produced? What are the qualifications of the faculty at CUSAT? What is the research output annually?

PS: I'm quite sure the English department (if it exists) isn't great either!

sorry to say but the huge no. of engineering aspirants who write engg xams every year know what is the standard of a IIIT and the fact is that people ...write and say without knowing anything about the topic they r writing. CUSAT is involved into lots of research work and its not the fault of indian govt. if people r ignorant and less informed about what kind of research is going on in which field and even then consider themselves scholars from IIIT .
CUSAT deserves to be an IIT and we are proud to say that. People must mind their language before writing any thing about the govt. after all its the mandate of millions of people and its the moral duty of every citizen (which includes people from IIIT )to respect it .

I never referred to the standard of IIIT in my comment. Your comments on IIIT are uncalled for in this post. The issue here is granting IIT status to CUSAT. What I asked for is a justification as to why CUSAT deserves it, which I haven't got as yet. You are obviously proud of being granted this status, which is completely understandable, but what one is interested for is facts, not sentiments.

BTW, it is the right of every citizen to (dis)agree with any decision made by the govt. I don't see a point in respecting every decision it makes. And coming to the mandate of the people... don't even ask!

PS: Do not jump to conclusions that all the comments are from one guy/place.... blogs are read by many others!

whatever you say ....i know i was a bit harsh but what does that mean- ""Do not jump to conclusions that all the comments are from one guy/place.... blogs are read by many others!"" blogs may be read by many but are written on a blog by the one who owns it and i dont need to be taught that ....i mean u only had written the article on ur blog and nobody else

and one more thing when u say that my comments were uncalled for dont u think that ur comments on CUSAT were also unreasonable and unjustified i mean its fine to have a opinion but its should be expressed in a way which doesnt hurt's anybody's feeling i mean how can u write like .........ur comments on CUSAT-"""""Anybody who at first sight guesses the meaning of CUSAT deserves a Medal. In fact anybody who even knows that there is something called CUSAT deserves atleast a prize."""" is CUSAT such an unheard institution ?

some facts about CUSAT:-
1>one of the departments called -"PHOTONICS " has been awarded the "CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE" now photonics is at the most in 2 or 3 places all over the country
let alone being awarded a centre of excellence award.

2> a number of projets of DRDO and ISRO are already going on in the university which is one of the main reasons why CUSAT was nominated and suggested by- Mr. K Kasturi Rangan for being upgraded to an IIT

3> Safety and Fire engineering do you know that it the only institution in INDIA to award B-Tech in Safety engineering rest all institutions provide a diploma - which are also very less in number 3 or 4)

4>SHIP BUILDING & NAVAL ARCHITECTURE an other branch of CUSAT for which B-TECH is provided only by IIT-KHARAGPUR and CUSAT

5>CUSAT was the "first one IN THE COUNTRY" to start a B-TECH course in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

6>every branch of CUSAT today has got 200% placements -one of the main resons being that it has got one of the toughest syllabus - almost same as is followed in IIT chennai,major companiies like GOOGLE,GE,TEXAS INSTRUMENTS..etc are coming to the campus

7>ranks 4th among the top universities of india (259-total no. of universties in india(approx))-http://indiaedu.com/top-universities.html

8>rubber and polymer technology is also one of the rarest branch of engineering available here


9>CUSAT has got a copy of RATIONAL ROSE - the only single copy available in india .and i hope people who r from computer related courses will be able to appreciate that(for those who dont roughlly speaking its a software that automatically generates any software depending upon the problem statement given and a few diagrams...)

10>one of the most sought after institutions for M-TECH one gets admission after scoring a pretty high score of 95-96.

11>has got collaborations from many foreign universities for student exchange

what more do you ask from an institution

by writing that ""i am sooooooo happy to be in IIIT--in the first post"" you are udermining the standard of CUSAT
and again write that ""I never referred to the standard of IIIT in my comment.--in 2nd post "" i never had a dream about IIIT

it was a huge huge insult of CUSAT when you wrote "" anybody who even knows that there is something called CUSAT deserves atleast a prize ""

i mean it was like abusing CUSAT when u wrote"" Government of India should be serious about higher education and " this is a joke of the highest order. Man somebody needs to kick the governments ass........."

now what to say i feel so miserably sorry for ....

well how the hell do we get into cusat???? And is the other engg. college as good as the 1st one

Anonymous said...

well many people here are surprised to see CUSAT being declared as an IIT...but they don't really know what a great college it is...see the short span in which it has come past many institutions of the same period....
n' if even that does'nt go down ur neck...we offer u to come here stay with us(in a guest house that's better than the hotel rooms u may've put up until now...)...and just have a feel of CUSAT...we won't need to say more...

and well for the people who give more stress on the english deptts of a technological insti rather than its labs,the projects it gets n' the international collabs... lemme' tell u that u can find a tea stall owner here speaking far better english than on of your proffs.

For your illogical and uncognitive comment on our institute ,firstly, you are liable to get a perfect non-sensical award.
Secondly,for your over-incognizant comment on our institute,it symbolizes your cheap and very naive mind set up which you have seeded in your fishy mind(on account of what,I don't know).
You don't seem to have any cohesion of what should be wrote in a public place like this.
If your bullshit mind set doesn't allows you to think in a radical perspective and let you down to a very narrow lane down your brain,then it is a situation of crisis for you.
I am sounding sarcastic ,as it is supposed to be for your comment like the above,then don't be a little dazzled.You even deserve a huge doze of sarcasm from all my fellows on your lackadaisical comments on CUSAT. And consider all of my words ,as laconic response to your un-justified ,futile,abysmal and pathetic thinking of any institute as a whole.And what do you think,who you are ?

Few more suggestive words for you-

Firstly,I should like to tell you that - your words above were utmost foolish and condemnable.

Secondly,think and act.

Thirdly,don't dare to be over-giggled.

Fourthly,Judge and response.

Fifthly,rise above your sheer stupidity and dumbness.

Sixthly,respect personal credentials and potential.

Lastly,stretch your neural nerves of your brain and try to come out of the deepest trench of your sick mind.Your ignorance of other potential,doesn't break you free to write a dirty and sue-able post like this.

The author only knows even the abbreviation of CUSAT just recently. Then how the hell he'll know the standards of CUSAT?. I could guess he's a book worm, knows only abt IITs and IIITs.
