Debashish Das's Review On College Of Engineering Bhubaneswar - [COEB], Bhubaneswar

I got through Odisha JEE 2008. My scores were not that good. For my scores College of Engineering Bhubaneswar sounded perfect. And the course I opted was Electronics and Telecomm engineering as it was the most popular course at that time.

Course curriculum is same as other BPUT affiliated college. The course is vast and it focuses on fundamental understanding of the student.Exams were pretty hectic though. The thing is that most of the course were outdated the industrial usage is highly doubted.

No. College doesnt provide internship. Here people study for any subject but ultimately work for IT industry anyway.

Placements are from IT companies. Job opportunities are not that good. Infosys, ADP, Cognizant are some of the campus recriters come. Salary varies from 3-4.5lacs per annum. Still core companies come for mechanical branch, Edac is one of them. Electricals department and Electronics have neal campus recruitment. And yes Cummins also came in 2011 and offered 6.5 lacs per annum.

Only annual function was great. Cultural festivals are not celebrated save for Independence Day, Republic Day, Ganesh Chaturthi. Tech fest is one big drama with a big focus on dating junior girls. Yes annual function brings some C grade bollywood celebrities.

Fee is bit cheap. Of course feasible as there is loans available. The fee structure covers tuition fees, lab insurance etc. But library fee, exam fees have to be paid by students. Some clandestine stuffs are well hidden. College dont provide wifi to every one and provides some ancient machines to students which costs around 50k but in reality less than 5000 rupees.

No scholarships are sponsored by college. Govt sponsored ones are hard to get. Loans are available from reputed banks.

Campus life is pretty boring as there is no good park and the faculties feel bad if they spot some one on lawn. Everything is of poor quality. Gender ratio is male dominated but tolerance is found. No ragging campus is there, Extracurricular, labs, sports department were pathetic and student funded only.

Hostel facilities are their for both boys and girls. But only girls stay in hostel. They always complain about cleanliness, food, bed bugs. PG facility is poor. Average rental is about 7000 rupees. That does not include food. Girls can avail good PGs in Patia which are good in quality but the price is 7500.

Alumni network is non existent. Seniors are kind but busy in their own way. Interaction were with them happened during only early days of college life which involved only giving introduction.

Faculty were both good and bad. Math department got Tushar sir and trust me he is the best. Parija sir leads the English department and he also gives an early example of corporate behavior. If we will talk about faculty who teaches us our branch related topics then they are the most inexperienced faculties on the earth They themselves dont understand several things.
