Course Curriculum Overview

5

The inclusion of up to date information regarding current trends. It provides a solid foundation for practical application, but could use more real-world projects. The theoretical base is strong, adequate for further academic pursuits. More frequent updates to reflect current technology. Increased use of interactive teaching methods. Exams were well-spaced, but some were overly theoretical. The difficulty level was fair, but more practical application based exam questions would be beneficial.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees we pay 1.5 lakh per year excluding the hostel and canteen charges. Tution fees : 1.5 lpa , caution fees : 1k-2k pa, registration fees : 3000 pa, pwc category also applied here, Also one of my friends fees is 5k per annum

Annual function are zygon,rythm nova and also some cultural activities like new year diwali etc. But the biggest fest is zygon. There are no more books in library but not that bad. There are nice facilities and technology provision in classrooms. There many students who joined different clubs like creative, CCC, cultural etc.

Admission

I also applied to KIIT University and CV Raman Global University. I received confirmed admissions from all three. I chose Silicon University because of its smaller class sizes, which offered more personalized attention, and the specific focus of the curriculum on emerging technologies that better aligned with my career goals. Silicon University’s emphasis on practical skill development. I did not receive any rejections. However, if I had not gotten into Silicon university, I would have considered that my exam scores might not have met the specific cutoff for my desired program. Or that perhaps my interview did not show my full potential. The admission process at Silicon University typically involves these steps: Eligibility: Must have passed 10+2 with required marks in relevant subjects (Physics, Mathematics, etc., for engineering). Exams Accepted: JEE Main, OJEE, and sometimes their own entrance test. Preferred Exam: OJEE is often preferred by Odisha students, and JEE Main is also highly considered. Cutoffs: Cutoffs vary significantly by program and year. For popular engineering branches, JEE Main and OJEE cutoffs can be competitive. You would need to check the official Silicon University website for the most current cutoff information.

Faculty incharges are so much Friendly. And some students are assigned by a faculty advisor and a student mentor. They help them if they have any doubt and clear that. I personally and many of the students like mukti mam who teaches dsa , she is very friendly and missing when teaching and she teaches us very deeply untill we understand. There are some faculty we don't like for theirs behaviour. There are two main exam in one sem mid term and end term , the exam pattern was not that much hard or easy . Out of 100, 10-12 percentage was unable to clear it.

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.

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.
