Pioneer Asia Manpower
Cochin University of Science and Technology
Overview
Originally known as University of Cochin, the University came into being in 1971 through an Act of the Legislature of Government of Kerala that was the result of a concerted campaign for postgraduate education in the State of Kerala. The university was reorganized into Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in February 1986. The process of reorientation resulted in redefining the objectives as the promotion of undergraduate and postgraduate studies and advanced research in applied science, technology, industry, commerce, management and social sciences .
Admissions are based on an All India Entrance Examination known as Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the University which includes different papers for admissions to various undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Various Departmental Admission Tests (DAT) are also conducted for some postgraduate Courses.
Mission
The mission of the university is to make distinctive and eloquent contributions to the cause of higher education in science and technology. CUSAT has pledged to strive to offer teaching of the highest quality and to engage in research and scholarship that will contribute to the advancement of knowledge.
The motto of the university is ‘Tejasvinavadhithamastu’, which conveys, ‘May learning illumine us both, the teacher and the taught’.
Campuses
The university has three separate campuses, two of them in Kochi and one at Pulinkunnu, Kuttanad, Alappuzha about 65 km south of Cochin in the state of Kerala.
The Main (Thrikkakara) Campus
The main campus is located nearly 1.5 km off the National Highway 47 in South Kalamassery. The 180-acre (0.73 km2) campus consists of the Administrative office, the Central Library, Computer Centre, various departments, labs, workshops, School of Engineering (SOE Campus) and School of Engineering (Siberia Campus), canteens, guest house, hostels and playgrounds.
The Administrative office coordinates all the activities of the various departments and affiliated colleges under the University. The fully computerized Central Library acts as a central source of information for the academic community of the University. The Computer Center has state-of-the-art facilities and also provides free internet access to the students. This campus hosts the buildings of the various departments. The SOE campus has several divisions of engineering and corresponding labs and workshops. The Siberia campus block consists of classrooms for various engineering courses and a new lab building (NLB) which houses various department centers and labs.
The campus has an Indian Coffee House and other canteens. There are three men’s hostels namely Siberia, Sarovar and Sanathana and two ladies’ hostels, Aishwarya and Athulya. A new B. Tech hostel has been set up for the students from states other than Kerala. The campus also hosts the accommodation of its employees.
The City (Lakeside) Campus
The Lakeside Campus, ~12 km away from the Main Campus is set in Cochin city on the estuarine waterfront. This campus consists of School of Ocean Science and Technology, School of Industrial Fisheries, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Department of Marine Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry, Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics and Department of Physical Oceanography. The School of Ocean Science and Technology (previously known as School of Marine Sciences) has a history of over 65 years of academic pursuit in marine sciences. It has a library which is regarded as one of the largest marine science libraries in Asia and a research vessel for coastal water studies[citation needed]. The School has academic interactions with other universities and research institutes in India and outside. Other than teaching and research the School also addresses various issues of regional importance.
The Pulinkunnu Campus
The Pulinkunnu Campus in Kuttanad, Alappuzha District is about 65 km away from the Main Campus. This campus is home to the Cochin University College of Engineering, Kuttanad (CUCEK) and the Cochin University College of Computer Applications (CUCCA). The Campus is surrounded by villages, temples and churches.
Faculties
CUSAT is academically structured into nine faculties: Science, Technology, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Humanities, Law, Marine Sciences, Medical Sciences and Technology, and Social Sciences.
Faculty of Science
Department of Applied Chemistry
The Department of Applied Chemistry was established in 1976 with the support of University Grants Commission to aid in the development of the industrial belt in the Greater Cochin area by providing scientific support and trained personnel to the existing industries. The Department started an M.Sc programme in Applied chemistry in 1971. An M.Phil programme in chemistry was started in the year 1986. The Department has also served as a nucleus for starting the Department of Polymer Science and Rubber Technology and the Department of Biotechnology by initiating B.Tech and M.Sc courses in the respective areas.
