Avinash Nayak's Review On Orissa University Of Agriculture And Technology - [OUAT], Bhubaneswar

11th rank in all India agriculture colleges In Bhubaneswar. High placements(government included) Medium size campus, Great professors, Practical training. The University conducts a common entrance exam to offer admission to its BSc program. The candidates will be selected solely based on merit (weighted score) which is based on the academic career and performance in the entrance exam.

Near to my residence, Great professors, Practical training, Highly equipped lab, Great cultural events, Low fees. High placements, agriculture officers, private companies, axis bank employees. Great campus, Facilities easily approachable, Library, Ac campus, Hostel available, Medicine facilities, Scholarship available, Internship.

Talking about the job placements, I don't have much idea since I belong to 1st year and now I am only concentrating on the current situation, but I know one can get:- Job placements in Fertilizers and Pesticide companies. Placement in various institutions of ICAR to work under it. Various Government job placements like AAO and AHOs. Job as a Professor in State Agricultural Universities (SAUs).

I had no idea about OUAT or its scope and syllabus, but after joining OUAT I feel the syllabus is pretty exciting, contrary to the dull misconception people usually have in their minds. The Professors are really excellent and have a lot of experience regarding their stuff. You generally get plenty of leisure time in a day, which can be utilized properly to study or do other kinds of productive works. The Central Library at OUAT is one of the best libraries available, containing numerous books and articles, including an E-library and reading rooms. You get to appear in 2 exams a day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, so if not prepared in the past then it may land you in trouble. You get to appear in plenty of activities in an academic year which increases the experience and exposure to activities.
