- In case of a tie between two or more candidates, CUSAT prepares an inter se merit list to break the tie and assign distinct ranks.
- The rank list covers both UG programmes (B.Tech, B.Arch, BBA, LLB) and PG programmes (M.Tech, M.Sc, MBA, LLM, PhD).
- Category-wise ranks are also published separately for SC, ST, and other reserved categories.
