It is highly not recommended not to take CPT and join a university just for CPT. Usually MS Students whose H1B is not picked in the lottery are approaching these universities just to maintain their visa status in USA until they get H1B.
During CPT make sure your are working in related field of your degree and you should not use CPT for more than 12 months.
