Remarks

Its a decent college not best but still you have chances to chose your college.

Entrance Preview

For entering college you should have to attend any of the bellow exam 1) OJEE 2)JEE I Take Admission Through OJEE Entrance Exam.There is no interview taken during Admission.I did My Engineering there.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

My Myself My course is better for me.They not Focus 100% on Practical, they just tell all theories. Ya,Some research is taken in our college

Internships Opportunities

No internship done via College.You have to arrange internship yr owns,but college provides bonafied for that..I gone through a private company for my internship also.They do't provide any stipend .But they provide only food at noon.

Placement Experience

3.5

Now day they only bring 10-15 companies for compose purpose in that only 50-60 student got placed that company. Max package gone is 1 lakh per month & that from LG. & Others are too less i.e they give only 8k-10k per month.Including all companies package i tell they they give avg. of 1.2 lakh per year

College Events

There are many Cultural and Managerial Fests that were organized in the College with separated branch like Ganesh Puja ,Viswakarma Puja etc. Above all functions our college anual function(we called UTOPIA) is best...In that Stars are come to our clg to showing performance.

Fees and Financial Aid

I do't know about Scholarship but still their is some % of concession for SC,ST categories student.College do't interfere with your lone ,they just provide bonafied for lone that helps me on bank.

Campus Life

4.5

Extracurricular activities done during our college annual fest with 7 days max duration.On that some plays done like robotics,crickets,& other plays..

Hostel Facilities

3.5

As i tell you before there no hostel facilities for 3rd & 4th yr student,but you can stay in hostel for 1st &2nd yr. Also i stay in hostel on my 1st & 2nd yr. Hostel room are decent but food quality not good .For me i give 6 point food rating out of 10.In one room 3 students are stay ,they not provide single rooms

Alumni/Alumna

Here all students are some ,Yes our college provide a proper platform for student-alumni interaction...Yes For college development some amount should have to pay..

Exam Structure

Per you have to face 2 types of exam 1) Internal exam 2)Final Semester exam. Per Year you face 4 internal exam & 2 Semester exam. Internal Number contains Max 25 marks in all subjects .Also college place is so silent place since its 3 km distance from main highway road..

Faculty

All Faculty are not well experienced ,some of them is qualified Up to B.tech.But They are very much interactive with us.Also teaching quality is not best .They just tell you note & explain that all for them...

Decent faculty and top tier placements, just follow the rules

Likes

I like the vibe of the canteen and greenery around my college

Dislikes

I don't like 75% attendance and the strictness of the faculty members

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is now updated since it became a University, so its more relevant to industry now but still we have to do extra courses for coding. Exams happen every few months—2 internals and one end-sem. They are not very easy, you actually need to study to pass without backlogs

Also travelling from one campus to another has been made easier as buses and golf carts are provided to students

Dislikes

The crowd of students here is too much which feels too much chaotic and disturbing .
The hostel management here as they don't give importance to the major issues here.
The hostel mess food. The quality is degrading day by day

Placement Experience:

The placements of my college is good. This year 75% of the students are already placed with an average package of 8LPA . The highest package till now for this year is 22LPA. Many companies have visited for the placements and 100+ offers have been made. Companies like BNY, Infosys, Deloitte, Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Bain& Company, High Radius, TCS, EY, PWC and many more of them have visited the campus.

The college campus greenery and campus cleaning management are doing really very well that is the only good part but that doesn't matter much for your career.
⭐⭐There is nothing good to mention about this college after going through all the procedures from taking admission to degree,I regret and many of my friends also regretting taking admission into this college.⭐⭐

Dislikes

They have a good well maintained cricket ground but students are never allowed there only for commercial purposes and to attract new joinee.
Staff and management are very helpful and polite only till admission done.🥲.
Hostel food quality is extremely unhigenic, no one takes responsibility after many complaints also.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum was very classical , too much theory oriented for placement point of view they will provide last 1 month or 2 months training for aptitude part rest for technical you have to study on your own.

They conduct exam in very smoothly manner

Dislikes

Need to improve administrative building while submitting fees many students face problem

Placement Experience:

Placement opportunities in my college are good, with students generally becoming eligible for campus placements from the pre-final or final year, depending on the course and company criteria. The college has an active placement celll that supports students by Organizing training sessions, resume building and also mock interviews.

Likes

Have collabs with IBM, Samsung, Capgemini for RnD and NUS singapore , University of North Texas
Our college has hosted International Conferences like IEEE InGAARS 2025and Indocrypt 2025, where scientists had came from NASA, ISRO, all IITs, Foreign Universities, etc
Exposure is Good. The teachers here put efforts to teach and research. Unlike other colleges where teachers comes and roll out PPTs, here every teacher teaches on Board explaining everything properly

Dislikes

Few teachers speak in Odia accent, so it takes couple weeks to adjust
Campus is kind of small (36acres), but its good area for a IIIT, considering IIIT delhi is just 25 acres
3 occupancy hostels for 1st years (same goes for any other NIT/IIIT), but they have a option of single rooms from 2nd year

Placement Experience:

from 6th sem, students are eligible almost 100 companies visited including IBM, VISA, Infosys, DE Shaw etc. Highest is 63 LPA and avg is 12-13LPA 90% placements I may consider doing MBA if I dont get very big package

The professor who taught in our class they are taught is best In teaching.
They provide you many opportunities to work upon on you.
The infrastructure of college is good and huge.

Dislikes

The campus is very vast, and you have to walk for every minute of work.
The are very serious about your study and what you are doing
The gate get closed if you get came late even it's 5-10 minute late.

Placement Experience:

It's good as many company come but the placement directly depend on your study and hard work of your 4 year and a pre placement also conduct in 3rd year where you can also get placed. For placement the student should secure 8-10 cgpa for sit in interview exam.
