The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electrical Engineering at Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) in Odisha is a program that spans four years over eight semesters. Admission is primarily through the OJEE Counselling process, which requires candidates to have cleared their 10th and 12th board exams, with JEE Mains scores or percentiles as key criteria. The registration for JEE Mains costs around 1000 INR, with variations based on caste and gender.
The university, being government-run, is highly regarded in Odisha and offers considerable facilities, including opportunities in hackathons and entrepreneurship. The fee structure includes ‚Ç?82,000 for the first year and ‚Ç?72,000 for subsequent years, with tuition alone costing ‚Ç?24,800 annually and hostel fees at ‚Ç?19,000 per semester. Scholarships such as Post Matric and Nirman Sharmik are available through the state portal, assisting mainly SC/ST and OBC students, though BPUT does not offer its own scholarships.
The faculty at BPUT is generally seen as approachable, with mixed reviews on teaching efficacy. Students face a structured exam system with two internal exams per semester, although the marking scheme can be inconsistent. The college provides various engineering departments, including Electrical Engineering. In terms of placements, the university has limited direct connections with companies like Jindal and Rourkela Steel Plant, making off-campus placements a viable option for students. Internships are supported internally, particularly through participation in clubs and hackathons.
Overall, while the academic and faculty aspects are mostly positive, there is room for improvement in placement support and fee management.
