The college's admission process traditionally depended on the OJEE exam, requiring a rank around 8494 for entry through counseling. It has transitioned from using JEE Main scores to conducting its own entrance exam due to its university status. Admissions in 2018 involved post-exam counseling. The college's infrastructure and environment are commendable, supported by a strong faculty where almost all hold M.Tech degrees. Faculty-student relations are generally positive, offering both educational and emotional support, though a few faculty members are noted for being strict.
Some faculty reside on campus, available 24/7 to assist students. The education quality is high, with many skilled educators. The fee structure is moderate, approximately 1.5 lakh INR annually for tuition, plus 70,000 INR for mess and hostel. University students pay about 2 lakh INR annually. Additional costs include examination and registration fees, with various scholarships available from the Odisha government, including the Prerana and Medhabruti scholarships. The college aids in obtaining bank loans and government scholarships, with an on-campus SBI branch facilitating this.
The placement program is strong, with over 90% of students placed, averaging a 4 lakh INR salary package. Mechanical students face challenges in high-paying job placements, while metallurgy students achieve a 100% placement rate, and computer science students secure placements averaging 3 lakh INR annually. Both paid and unpaid internships are available, with some costs borne by students. Companies like Cavvision, Ajatus, and Piaggio recruit from the 6th semester. Pre-placement training is provided, though students may need to find internships independently.
Despite high placement rates, some students feel the job offers are more suitable for freshers. The college does not offer its own scholarships but assists with loan procurement and government scholarships.
