The deductions are for these

Social Security tax - employee 94.24
Medicare tax - employee 22.04
Federal Income Tax 158
CA SDI 12.16
California State Income Tax 41.55

This is for 76 worked hrs at 20$/hr under F1-CPT.
I can ask for SST and medicare tax.

Is the taxes held right for F1-CPT?

What is your question - ?

On F1 or OPT or CPT you are exempt from residency for 5-years. Your income is not subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. You must file nonresident tax return.
Ask your employer not to deduct FICA taxes and they should reimburse you the taxes already deducted.
