    Q:   How are MBA placements at Central University of Orissa?
    A: 

    The MBA placements at Central University of Orissa is not so good. It offers a decent placement. When compared to other reputable universities, CUO's MBA placement rates seem to be much lower. The average salary package that was given was approximately INR 3,50,000. The university has a 50–60% placement rate.

    A less than ideal employment condition is further indicated by the fact that only 3 out of 23 students in 2022 were placed with a median package of INR 1.80 LPA. In conclusion, graduates of CUO's MBA programme can still pursue successful professions and explore other options with proactive efforts and skill development, even though the present MBA placement environment may not be the ideal.

    I am satisfied with guest teachers, nominal fees, and good facilities.
    Placements: There are no campus placements cells. But students are well trying their own and placed in good positions. Faculty members are giving their best to crack UGC NET and entry to PSUs. Around 10-15% of students doing internships provided by this college in Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
    Infrastructure: The facilities like transportation, Wi-Fi, and library are there. In view, classrooms are now under construction. Hostels are a great place to reside. Good quality of food is provided with minimal cost around Rs 70 per day for 3 times. Sports and indoor games are available to play. In case of medical a doctor and nurse is there, and 24X7 ambulance service is also available.
    Faculty: This university runs short of regular faculty members however guest teachers are good. The quality of education is good. The syllabus is vast and well organized. Surely after studying here one can gain vast knowledge and experience. Exams are tough and case-based often. The pass percentage is around 40% for a semester.
    Other: First of all, it comes under Central Government Universities and minimal fees are there. It should have placements cell and regular faculty members then it would be better. State scholarships are provided for EWC, OBC, SC, ST candidates. Surroundings are full of the natural environment, and there is no disturbance. Many events are there to celebrate in the hostel as well as campus throughout the year.

    Central University of Odisha is a college which is in struggling condition.
    Placements: There is no placement. We are just waiting for a company. Firstly we knew before joining that they are not capable to provide placement. Our senior are not placed. They got job with their own effort. There is no possible of getting a job. With own effort one can get a job.
    Infrastructure: This University started from 2009 but still now it is in struggling condition. Infrastructure is very poor. I studied for 2 year but I didn't see any construction work. The intention of the authority is doubt that they are need development or not. Library is good one but only library has Wi-Fi.
    Faculty: There is no permanent faculty. There are 4 faculty who are in contractual. They are struggling for their job. But the effort of the teacher is good. They actually want development of student. And the course of syllabus is good for the student. Somehow we get industry exposure.

    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.
