CUAST - CAT: Last date extended to Feb 29

CUSAT has extended the last date for submitting applications of the common admission test to 29th February. It is for the second time in a row the university has been extending the last date. Earlier it was put off to Feb 15, following the continuos delay of the website due to technical bugs.

It is evident that the university is forced to extend the last date again taking into account the meagre number of applications it has received so far and the huge financial loss it will have to endure.

Though the university launched the online registration process with much pomp, things turned out to be a big fluff once the bugs took an upper hand over the science and technology University.
