KOCHI: Decks have been cleared for the upgrading of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) into an “institute of national importance” with the State Government giving its nod for converting the university into an Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST).

Cusat is one among five universities/university institutions to be made institutes of national importance. The others are Bengal Engineering and Science University; Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University; Andhra University College of Engineering; and Osmania University College of Engineering and University College of Technology.

Education Minister M. A. Baby said here on Thursday that the Government would soon forward a letter to the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, agreeing to convert Cusat into an IIEST. The Government decision came after the Ministry accepted the demand for reserving 50 per cent of the seats for students from Kerala, the Minister said.
