Yes, candidates who qualify in CUSAT CAT can gain admission to various participating institutes based on their rank.

The final seat allotment is based on your rank and your choice of program during the counselling process.

With a rank of 16,689 in the CUSAT CAT exam, it will be difficult to get admission to the main campus (Cochin University) for top branches like Computer Science or Electronics, because these branches close at much lower ranks. But you may still get Mechanical or Civil Engineering at the Kuttanad campus (CUCEK), where the cutoff ranks are higher.
