Cusat BTech second allotment today

The second allotment of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) BTech admission this year will be made on Wednesday ( before 4pm) , according to Ignatius Kunjumon, Director of Centre for Information Resource Management which is controlling the technical part of the counseling process. The allotment is made from the existing rank list prepared by Cusat after its Common Admission Test (CAT) 2009.

The second allotment process of Cusat is different from the second allotment of KEAM. Cusat is not allowing any fresh option registration or changing of priorities as part of the second allotment, which is allowed in KEAM. If sufficient students do not join the courses, then a third allotment list will be published by the varsity from the existing rank last.

However, an allegation has already cropped up that the varsity is doing injustice to students who have joined the varsity with the allotted inferior course. They miss their higher options , it is pointed out.

It is understood that a lot of Cusat BTech seats are remaining vacant after the first allotment with a number of allotted candidates staying away from joining the allotted courses as the deadline for the same expired on July 20. Hence the second allotment is expected to throw open the gates of BTech courses to a lot of aspirants in the waiting list. The admission process is expected to take place on August 4, 5 and 6, according to Cusat sources.

The activities related to the second round of allotment to KEAM-2009 is scheduled to continue only till 5 pm on 31.7.2009 (Friday) and the second allotment of KEAM is all set to be announced on August 4.
