If it is Marine engineering you are looking to pursue, then definetly go for Cusat.

For other courses, karunya is a little costlier compared to Cusat.

Both the colleges are pretty good with academics, infrastructure, campus placements etc.

It would be wise to make a decision depending on the location.
