Which is the best branch in VSSUT, Burla, Odisha?
for VSSUT Burla branch ranking from best to decent: CSE > IT > ETC > EEE > Mechanical > Chemical/Civil/Metallurgy
CSE and IT obvious picks for placements — TCS, Infosys, Amazon visit campus. highest package was Rs.47 LPA from Amazon SDE (ETC branch, 2023!). but here's what most people miss — ETC (Electronics & Telecom) is massively underrated at VSSUT. strong faculty, solid GATE scores come out of ETC, and both core + IT company placements are possible.
- placement-focused career: CSE > IT > ETC
- GATE / higher studies: EEE and ETC are excellent picks
- core jobs (PSU, manufacturing): Mechanical and Electrical fine but harder to crack
one thing to keep in mind — VSSUT is remote (Burla, near Hirakud Dam, Sambalpur). no big city nearby. hostel is decent but basic. mess food gets complaints. median package is Rs.6.38 LPA — for an Odisha state govt college the value is genuinely great, fees are super affordable. best pick in Odisha after NITs easily.

VSSUT is a great place for UG studies. But a degree from this college isn’t sufficient in most cases. So it is usually better to opt for higher studies at a prestigious college.
- For an M.Tech or MS, CS/IT are the best branches. This is because they offer endless opportunities in research and jobs.
- For an MBA, Production Engineering is the right branch. Its curriculum contains elements of Management Studies. Also, scoring high grades is comparatively easier.
- For UPSC, Economics, Law, etc, any branch is equally suitable.
- To grab high paying jobs, Mechanical and Production are the best. But there is a fierce competition as core companies hire just 2-3 students each year.
- For a CS/IT student who participates in Competitive Programming, goes for ACM ICPC, and maintains good grades, getting off campus placements in Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. isn’t very difficult. A forum has been set up for competitive programming where the seniors provide good guidance on problem solving.
Make sure to go for a branch that interests you. This does play a huge role in deciding your career prospects.
