Admission: The teachers here are pretty good, but they mean business. The way they teach is good and the stuff we learn is practical for the real world. The exams are tough though. You need at least an 18 overall and 40 in each subject to pass.
Placement: Most students here get jobs after finishing their studies. It's a great college for B.Tech programs close to Berhampur. Over 70% of students find jobs. The highest salary offered is 24 LPA, while the lowest is 1.2 LPA. Wipro and Infosys are the top companies that hire from our college.
Campus: The college has Wi-Fi, labs, and a library. The library system is good. Sometimes, Wi-Fi is a bit slow. The classrooms are nice, and the food in the mess is good too. We have both A/C and non-A/C hostels. The sports facilities are okay, and we have an indoor stadium on campus.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful. If you're stuck on something, just talk to them. The semester exams are spread out over 5 months, so you'll have plenty of time to get ready. And don't worry, the questions are pretty straightforward.
Placement: The placement experience here is pretty good. The college offers a 75% placement rate, but you gotta have the skills to get hired. Just make sure you're showing up to classes and labs on time. Don't forget to do all the assignments, quizzes, midterms, and surprise tests regularly to stay on track.
Campus: As a student who's into studying, I checked out the hostel a few times, and it was pretty nice. The classrooms, libraries, and canteens are awesome. You can have a good time all throughout your college days. Classes are interesting, and even in your free time, there's always something to do.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome. They really help and guide you to reach your goals. Joining this college is totally worth it. There are also supportive teachers who cheer you up when you're feeling down.
Placement: There are so many companies that come to our college to hire students from different courses. They have lots of opportunities for us. We have different rounds to go through for selection, and sometimes they hire a bunch of students at once. It's also cool that we can do internships or get jobs abroad.
Campus: There are so many great things about the hostel, campus, and classrooms. The environment is awesome, and they have AC rooms which is nice. There are libraries for both B. Tech and MBA students. Plus, there are plenty of labs and different sports grounds to enjoy.

Admission: The teachers here are a mix some are really helpful and know their stuff, while others could be better. The first year can feel like a repeat of 12th grade, which is a bummer. The semester exams aren't too tough, but they feel more like busy work than a real challenge.
Placement: The campus was nice before COVID, but things got messy after. There's a lot of drama and politics now. They're trying to improve every year, but it's still not great. The highest salary for my course was 12 LPA, and the average was 4 LPA. To get placed through campus, we need at least a 6.0 SGPA.
Campus: The Wi-Fi is everywhere but it's slow. The food is not great and the buildings are old. The hostel rooms are okay. Sports aren't daily and not every sport has a playground.

Admission: I really liked the exams at NIST University. They're super strict, so no one can cheat. If anyone tries to cheat, they get in big trouble. The exam format has gotten better, and the questions are pretty fair. The pass rate is around 90%, which is good. The teachers here are really smart and know a lot.
Placement: The placements here are okay, with a 70% placement rate. The highest package offered is 23 LPA, while the average package is 5.5 LPA. Companies like Infosys, TCS, HP, Accenture, Capgemini, and HCL come to recruit students. Although there are no company internships, some teachers can help you secure good internships.
Campus: The college has awesome buildings and the hostels are decent. The food could be better, but it's okay. They have Wi-Fi and some rooms with AC. The rooms are okay, nothing fancy. The food is alright, not the best quality. But overall, it's a good choice for students who live nearby.

Admission: The faculty at NIST is amazing. They feel like friends. A lot of them have PhDs from top colleges like IITs and NITs. Their teaching is really good. The courses are practical and useful for the industry. I'd give 5 stars for the exams here. We have three types - internals, mid-sem, and end-sem.

Campus: I'm a Computer Science student at NIST and I really like the campus here. The Wi-Fi works well and the labs are great. There's a big library on campus which is awesome. The food in the mess is better than I thought. Plus, we have a canteen where we can get good food for cheap. And there's even an indoor stadium on campus! Outside, there's a big cricket ground too. It's pretty cool here.

Admission: The teachers here are really knowledgeable and have a lot of teaching experience. They studied at top schools like IITs, NITs, and universities abroad. Right from the first semester, the course gets us ready for the industry. They also teach us about work culture, and we get to meet different professionals all year round.

Each hostel has a mess, and there are places to eat nearby. There's also a medical facility on campus. Plus, we have a swimming pool, indoor stadium, and a park for events.

Admission: The college has new faculty members now because the old ones left. The new ones are not as experienced as the old ones, but the previous staff was really good. They were understanding and supportive, especially the HODs who were great.
Placement: Most students get jobs after college, with the best package being 10 LPA. The lowest is 4 LPA, but most get between 4 and 25 LPA. Companies like Accenture and PWC hire students here, but there aren't any big mass-hiring companies.
Campus: The campus has good infrastructure, but it could be better. Wi-Fi is everywhere, and the labs, classrooms, and library have good ventilation. The food in the mess and canteen is not great. They have medical services, sports, and games too.
