K Satish Kumar's Review On NIST University, Berhampur

My college is good and management is also good . Discipline is very good in our college which is must required for any student.

I got into this college through OJEE(Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) and i got 6042 rank . I researched for the best college in odisha and I consulted many seniors atlast I got good reviews about this college and joined.

Course structure is good but there are some subjects which are not beneficial to the particular branch selected. Coming to research it depends on the student's interest . Course structure does not have any focus on research. It had provided electives choice to us which is very good because each student has different interest.

Internship facilities are a bit low as per my knowledge. I didn't to any internship in college. Based on my knowledge I can say that two of my friends got internship in Taiwan . They stayed there for around 2 months which is totally barred by the company and finally even one got placed in that company.

My batch got a very good placement. Out of 700 students there are 500 students who have career in their studies and 400+ out of them got placed . Many IT companies come and do a mass recruitment like Infosys, Wipro etc. Job opportunities are good if anyone have a good career in studies.

There are mainly two events which are celebrated in the college they are Sankalp and Waves. Sankalp is a technical festival and Waves is a cultural festival. During Sankalp students from various colleges come to participate in our festival. Waves is our internal cultural festival. Both the events are celebrated very grandly. For every Sankalp , college invites a celebrity to entertain us.

Fee structure is a bit expensive. Excluding hostel and mess the total academic fees is like 1 lakh rupees , hostel fee is 17000 and mess fee is around 30000. I cannot say feasible as per year the total expenditure will be around 1.5 Lakh rupees which is very much a common middle class family.

There are three to four scholarships out of which 2 are sponsored by our college and the rest 2 are by the government of Odisha. Scholarships are Book grant and economic hardship which are provided by college and Cafas, Prerena are those which are sponsored by govt. Scholarships are issued considering caste and father's income.

My college life is remember able as i have many memories to cherish. Gender ratio is good and almost like 50:50. Many sports are carried out and sometimes college level competitions are also held. There are clubs for robotics, electronics and much more. College does not encourage any discriminate issues and also as per my knowledge such like situation never raised. my college maintain such standards like discipline.

I would give 7.5 out of 10 to my hostel. 4 persons are allocated to a room. Room maintenance is good . Rooms are cleaned once for 2 days . We have a common washroom . Washrooms are cleaned twice a day. There are also some single rooms which are allocated to students based on their merit. Food is good not that bad. As it is hostel we have to compromise some days.

I have not much interacted with seniors but while our placement time they helped us a lot. They taught us how to attend interviews and how to react to certain situations which are very helpful.

For every semester we used to have three internal exams with 80 marks each. Every day we used to have some lab so every time we are occupied with either lab or internal exams. I cannot say it is a hectic day everyday but it was chilling with friends.

After getting the result of the entrance exam we have to start online counselling process where we opt for colleges which we are interested. Based on the rank and seat availability we are allocated a seat in the order we chose in counselling. After seat allocation next is admission to the college.

Faculty is good. Some are M tech qualified and some have done PHD in that particular subject. Our college faculty always try to give as much as knowledge to the students which helps to build their career and knowledge. Daily we used to have 100 minutes classes which is totally different from other colleges as usually colleges provide 50 minutes classes.
