IGIT Sarang: Admission 2026, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

You probably won’t find a detailed account of the life of a girls hostel at IGIT Sarang anywhere. But, I can definitely give you a brief insight of the same, since I have few friends at the institute. 

• Freshers are given according to Rohini Bhawan. Rooms at Rohini are 6 sharing. Staying with 6 other people is not easy, so you need to adjust.
• There are no attached bathrooms. There are 4 bathrooms in each corner of the 2-storey hostel. Each bathroom has 3 basins, 3 washrooms, and 3 stalls for baths. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly. 
• Power facilities are good. But there are long power cuts, especially during summer.
• Water facilities are not good here. Bring disinfectants like Dettol or Savlon with you if you don’t want to get any skin diseases. 

Hope this gave you an idea about the life at girl hostel at IGIT Sarang

One of my friends graduated from IGIT this year. Here are a few things that I got to know about the Mechanical branch at IGIT. 

Placements:

According to the statistics the placement sector is down in almost all colleges of Odisha. Seeing on the placement statistics of past years hardly a core company came for placement in IGIT.

• Companies like Vedanta, Jindal, and Bhushan did come for the core sector but the probability of students getting selected is not up to the mark.
• Most mechanical engineers join TCS or Tech Mahindra in IT. Very few of the students get placed in core companies like Vedanta, Jindal, or Bhushan.

This same situation can be seen in colleges like VSSUT and CET too. But they arrange some off-campus for mechanical students. Going in other campus placement is good in CET followed by VSSUT than IGIT. But that doesn’t make a big difference. Placement is almost the same in these colleges for core companies.

About Mechanical Branch:

The mechanical branch is one of the most strict branches of the institute. 

• It has well-equipped labs or workshops and this is something mechanical engineers brag about.
• IGIT has more reputed and respected professors in mechanical engineering as compared to other colleges.

The quality of education is average.

It will be better if you opt for CET followed by VSSUT and then IGIT. CET/VSSUT does call mass recruiters as compared to IGIT. IT jobs play the role of saviors since the number of core jobs is quite less. and are not likely to get a boost in near future.

A friend of mine completed BTech in Electronics and Telecom from IGIT. Here are some of the things that he shared about the institute. 

• Initially, you will feel the pressure from lots of assignments as assigned but then you will get used to it.
• The curriculum followed by the Department takes into account the latest subjects as per the current scenario.
• During lab sessions, you will have the guidance of teachers. According to my friend, Sunita ma’am was quite helpful. Some Faculties have exceptional knowledge in the field of Networking and Communication. My friend's guide was also of great help during his project in the final year.
• Apart from all this, there is decent placement as well not in terms of quality but quantity. Students get placed in companies such as TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Concept Infoway, etc.

From what I heard, there is not too much pressure from Teachers. You are free to do anything. So, make the most of your time at the institute.

VSSUT Burla is a much better option than IGIT Sarang. VSSUT, Burla - Being the Oldest engineering institute in the state, has some of the best faculty, a huge library, and a wide-spread Alumni net.

Discussed below are a few important points about VSSUT Burla.

• For any branch, VSSUT will be a better option, since it has better placement records, campus infrastructure, clubs, and the cutoff rank is also higher. 
• Most importantly it's autonomous so it has its own examinations and curriculum.
• If you have any problem regarding something you can directly get in contact with the Vice-Chancellor at VSSUT Burla. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes.

One of my cousins was in the same situation, whether to choose VSSUT or IGIT, and he chose VSSUT. If you look up the statistics you will clearly see VSSUT is much better than IGIT.

Experiencing a stay at different hostels is necessary to compare the hostel food of IGIT Sarang. In terms of food, IGIT Sarang serves the best taste on the platter.

The food is available at affordable rental rates and serves better quality than any other college hostel. You will love the food served here, once you get used to it. 

If you are a girl, you have to adjust till 3rd year. For the first 2 years, you will be staying in Rohini Bhawan and the food there is not as good as Prithvi Bhawan. However, you can order in from Jagannath, Brundaban, cafeteria, KFC.

If you are a boy there are various options in or out of campus. You only need to explore. 

The stream in which you wish to make your career is more relevant than knowing about the college that you choose, as the chief problem is the stream that you choose.

As per the listed choices, it would be better to choose Computer Science from Silicon BBS over Chemical at IGIT. The reason is that the faculty of IGIT Chemical engineering is not very impressive. Most of the teachers there are recent graduates recruited due to a lack of qualified faculties. 

As the campus of IGIT is isolated from the town, very few companies visit there for the campus whereas, Silicon has a location advantage. It is more like a school as it has strict attendance rules. However, their placement record definitely makes up for it.
