Biraj Paul's Review On Konark Institute Of Science And Technology - [KIST], Bhubaneswar

Well its an average college, the people here are partly good. If you are focused on your goal then you can do it anywhere actually, no one will help you in real, and that's the truth.

I am in BTech, CSE and this is the only branch which is good in this college, but we don't have proper equipments in our college. In our labs many computers doesn't work and no one even tries to fix them, all are fixated on money. They don't even allow us for internals if you don't pay your semester fees.

Forget about internships, Placement is worse year by year. They don't care about the students at all, once you are graduated their work is done. If any student is interested in internship, they don't help them, instead they ask students to take signatures, permission, etc etc. 1 or 2 local companies come here for placement but they aren't engineering related.

Only Utopia, a type of small annual fest, that also we have to beg for it. Management doesn't want to take money out of their pocket, it's like a robotic factory when they are fixated on teaching theory, no practicals, no festivals, no nothing. In Utopia you will see all worse students participating.

My yearly fees is Rs.85,000 which consists of two semesters so each semester costs me Rs 42,500, including hostel fees. It is a private college, if you join directly then i will cost you Rs1,19,000 yearly. I came through CCB, so i got some discount in my fees.

No i haven't opted for any scholarship or education loan. As i said i came through CCB (Combined Counseling Board), that's why i get discount.

To be honest there aren't any good lab equipments here. No workshops, no parties, no debates, etc. You will just have to depend on theory, you will just have to copy the things that's been given to you. Well the good thing is there is no certain discrimination among students. But since it's in Orissa teachers give the local students more priority.

Senior students are egoistic, but some are good. If you ask for help they will help you out, not with studies though.

I didn't qualify for JEE mains but i wanted to do engineering so I got this college through CCB, the college gave me a date for admission and I went there on the respective date and took the admission. They took 20,000 for admission and asked to pay the remaining money later.

The lectures aren't good, the profeesors have less than average knowledge about the subject. They just copy paste all the notes on the blackboard, even the programming codes, they don't explain it, they write it down and ask everyone to copy it in their notebook. There are less teachers so 1 teacher takes 2 subjects.
