It needs some improvements to get its earlier reputation as the best university in South Odisha.
Placements: Our college has no placements. There are no training and placement cells. Students have to try for off-campus or pool-campus placements at other nearby colleges. The average salary offered is Rs.15,000 to Rs.25,000 per month.
Infrastructure: The department of biotechnology doesn't have its building. Labs are decent. The CIC building is also owned by the department of biotechnology, which has excellent labs for animal and plant tissue culture. It's still in the setup process. The hostel, canteen, mess food, and Wi-Fi are not good. There are few opportunities for sports.
Faculty: Our teachers are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive. They organise seminars, workshops, and industrial tours. The examination schedule is very uneven since it's a government college. Exams might be conducted late.
Other: The M.Sc. in Biotechnology (DBT-Supported) program provides a monthly stipend of Rs.5,000, and their fees are also less at Rs.8,000 per semester compared to other students' fees of Rs.40000 per year. The campus is very average. One might not get all the facilities. Festivals are not organised.
