Like every campus, the CUSAT sub-campus that is CUCEK has its pros and cons.

The following points discuss the cons of the campus:

• The location of the campus is in a rural area. This increases the travel time of a student to the nearest railway station or bus stand.
• The area makes the environment bad. It is a common sight to find cows grazing the fields or the natives selling groceries even on the campus itself.
• There are power cuts almost for a couple of hours a day. The availability of mobile networks is not satisfactory for most service providers.
• The permanent faculty members are satisfactory whereas guest lecturers are invited for the core subjects.
• The infrastructure of the campus is very poor. There are low maintenance laboratories, bad floors, no proper drinking water, satisfactory furniture, etc.
• There is no facility for hostels at the campus. You need to look for small hostels or home-stay by yourself.
• Lack of students participating in the activities and making them less interactive and competitive.
• The administration is not active and acts in a ministerial manner. You might not find any solution for your queries. 

Some merits of CUCEK are as follows:

• The institute does not follow a hectic syllabus and examinations are a bit easy. This helps the students in feeling relaxed. 
• The brand value of the college is equivalent to IITs and NITs which makes the student worthy of studying here.
• There are watchmen available 24*7 for security purposes.
• Other facilities of the campus include an ATM, elevator as the campus building is the tallest in the town.
• The faculty members are experienced and pioneer in their respective fields. All branches are leaded by visionaries and supported by assistant professors.
• The placements of the students are decent and almost 100%.

These are some pros and cons of CUCEK which will help you understand the concept of the college in a better way and to make your decision right.
