CUSAT has fast-tracked its partnership initiatives with various universities abroad.

A majority of the faculty in most departments at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) are from the same university.

The students of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) have once again proved their ‘tech-savvyness’ by hacking the varsity’s official website in a bid to leak the examination results.

CUSAT has decided to set up an internal vigilance committee, aimed at fast-tracking disciplinary action against the university staff, including teaching faculty.

The varsity has decided to appoint an advisory committee headed by the pro-vice chancellor to streamline the conduct of arts, sports and other related events held every year. Besides senior officials, the committee will have director of Youth Welfare Department and the chairman of the University union as its members.

Aimed at ensuring efficiency, accuracy and timely publication of results, Cochin University of Science and Technology is planning to introduce Internet-supported digital evaluation of answer sheets of examinations conducted by the university. As pilot to this, as many as 1,000 answer sheets of the MCA exam scheduled to be held in June, will be evaluated digitally.

K S Beena, professor of Civil Engineering at the School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat), has been selected for the Endeavour Scholarship – 2015 by the Australian Government.
