    Excellent university for students.
    Placements: We are recently studying 69 students in your batch. We will complete our course in 2027. We have a wide government and administrative job for our recruitment. Seminars are ongoing, and an internship is planned for us. Students can do jobs both in government and technical sections.
    Infrastructure: A developed infrastructure is provided to us with all facilities available. Food quality is good in the mess and canteen. Medical facilities are available 24 hours a day for students. Don't have well-developed grounds for cricket. And have ground for volleyball and badminton.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified with more than 5 years of experience. The course curriculum is relevant, and students are good. As we have 10 to 14 papers in the semester, it is a little bit tough in the semester exam. Pass percentage is 55% for each semester.
    Other: I chose this course to have better knowledge in agriculture, and I will be the backbone of my country. Our campus is good with seminar and extracurricular activities held in time.

    At Central University of Odisha (CUO), the B.Ed route is mainly taught in English.

    All classes, notes, and checks are in English. Only language subjects like Hindi or Odia are taught in their personal language. 

    So, for B.Ed, students have to be geared up to observe in English medium.
