Entrance Preview

I got my admission in IIIT-Bhubaneswar through OJEE-2012. I had scored a rank of 9821 in the entrance Exam. It was a new Government institute and also a University so hopping the best I opted it.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

It was quite good. Our syllabus was initially as per the BPUT syllabus. After our College became an Unitary University our college administration made a few changes on the syllabus and the exam pattern. We don't get much subject as optional. But overall the course curriculum was good.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, our college offers a number of Scholarship program like Prarana, Medhabruti etc. I used to get a rupees of 10,000 from the Medhabruti Scholarship a stipend offered by Govt. of Odisha.

Placement Experience

3.5

Our college placement is much better as compared to other colleges. Job opportunities is very good here. Our college use to call mostly the software companies. So the CS and IT branch students have much more opportunities then the core branch students.

College Events

3

We had a bunch of functions that held in our college. Major functions were the Fresher day also named as Nebulae and the Tech-Cult Fest "ADVAITA". The Advaita is celebrated like nothing else. It is a four day festival with lots of tech and fun events. It also includes a star night and DJ night. Apart from these we observe several events like holi, diwali, ganesh Chaturthi etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Although our college is a unitary University, but it is a undertaking of Government of Odisha. It is a public partnership schemed college. That is why our fees were a bit high not less than any reputed private Engineering College. Also there are several other fees.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes we were provided with Cafas Scholarship with a stipend around 10,000 annually. Other loans facilities were there in our college for TFW candidates and SC,ST candidates i.e Prerana Scholarship which stipend about 60,000.

Campus Life

3

Initially there were not much extracurricular activities in our college. Eventually we made a lot of competition stuff happened. We organised a lot of robotic events, seminars etc. We also organised cricket tournament, football tournaments and badminton tournaments.

Exam Structure

The exams schedule not so good. Sometimes we get a single day or two days gap. Once we had a six day schedule with six subjects one day each. We had also given three internals in a single day. And the back paper exam used to be like hell. we used to give more than two subject in a day.

Admission

I had to go through a bunch of counselling process. I registered through the OJEE website and filled my college preferences. Then I got allotted in International Institute of Information & Technology, Bhubaneswar. I got there at the schedule date & time and got admitted followed by a number of administrative process like document verification, fee payment, College ID generation.

Faculty

3.5

Well we had quite a friendly faculties. Not all of them but most of them were good in teaching. And of course some subjects were so boring that we can't even withstand the class for an hour. Our lab assistant were so good to us. They have helped pretty much in our laboratory session.

Reviewed on Jan 9, 2026(Enrolled 2023)

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. Relevance & Comprehensiveness (Rating: 7/10) The course curriculum at SOA is updated frequently compared to state government colleges. Why I chose this: I was attracted to the fact that the syllabus includes modern electives like Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and Data Analytics starting from the 3rd year itself, rather than waiting for the final semester. Real-world Prep: The curriculum is designed largely to crack placement interviews. There is a heavy focus on Aptitude and Core Coding subjects (DS/Algo) which helps in getting a job. However, for deep research or R&D roles, the theoretical depth is sometimes lacking. 2. Areas for Improvement Teaching Methods: A major issue is the reliance on PowerPoint Presentations (PPTs). Many faculty members just read off the slides. I would prefer more "Whiteboard Teaching" for mathematical and logic-based subjects. Lab Records: We spend hours handwriting practical records/files which are just copied from the manual. This is a waste of time. This time should be used for live coding projects or hackathons. Outdated Subjects: First-year students (even in CS/IT) are forced to learn heavy mechanical/civil concepts. While basics are good, the depth of these non-core subjects should be reduced. 3. Exam System & Difficulty Frequency: It is quite hectic. We have 2 semesters a year. Each semester has 2 Internal Assessments (Quizzes/Mid-sems) and 1 End-Semester Exam. Basically, you have an exam every 1.5 to 2 months. Difficulty: The exams are Easy to Moderate. It is not very difficult to pass. If you study the "Class Notes" and "Previous Year Questions" for 3-4 days before the exam, you can easily score an 8.0 SGPA. The checking is lenient for passing, but strict if you are aiming for a 9.5+ SGPA.

Placement Experience:

I actually have a very little idea about placements of our uni few seniors says there is not a single company visiting, while few were discussing the highest placement which was something like 20lpa or something,i think companies do visit our campus it may not be much but i have definetly seen one or two companies visiting. I plan to do MBA after my Btech so i am not that serious about whether i am getting placed or not.

Gandhi Engineering College (GEC Autonomous), Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering)
Reviewed on Dec 22, 2025(Enrolled 2023)

Course Curriculum Overview:

I mainly chose this course because the college is Autonomous, which allows them to update the syllabus faster than standard university colleges; seeing subjects like Python and Data Science in the early semesters really influenced my decision. The curriculum is decent for getting placed in service-based companies like TCS or Wipro since they focus heavily on the basics and aptitude, though for high-end product roles or research, you have to put in extra effort yourself. I definitely think they need to reduce the theory load and focus more on practical coding because sometimes it feels like we are just writing assignments instead of building things. Also, the junior faculty rely too much on reading from slides, which really needs to change to make classes more engaging. As for exams, it feels like we are always writing them since we have two internals and one end-semester exam per term. They are moderately difficult and the checking is strict, so you can't slack off, but the tight schedule can get quite exhausting.
