The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) in Odisha is a well-regarded institution, attracting candidates with high ranks in the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE). Admission involves a counseling process where candidates need to verify documents like matriculation and higher secondary certificates. The faculty varies in quality, with the Computer Science department noted for its expertise. The annual tuition fee ranges from Rs. 83,500 to Rs. 1,23,500, with total costs for a degree between Rs. 4,70,000 and Rs. 5,00,000, not including hostel fees which are Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 annually.
The placement rate is high, with 70% to 95% of students placed in companies such as Infosys, Wipro, and TCS, with salaries ranging from Rs. 4 to Rs. 23 lakhs per annum. Pre-placement training is offered, and the college has started providing internship opportunities. Scholarships and fee waivers are available, including Medhabruti, Prerana, and others for economic and academic support.
