No student get internship as from my course and no companies provided. We want to utilise our knowledge in particular, but we are not get opportunity .
Infrastructure: The college is under development. Our college has a good culture and environment in Koraput. There is an access pointer, one digital lab, a small digital classroom little in size, a digital library, and poor-quality food available in the mess and canteen. There is only one nurse in the academic block and one dispensary. There is no doctor.
Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful and well-qualified, but a little bit knowledgeable. The teaching quality is under development. Semester exams are very easy and 50% is the pass percentage. There are less faculty members in each department.
Other: I love this course because it aligns with my dream of becoming a data scientist, and it presents a great opportunity for growth. I am improving my logical data skills.

Most of them already completed their Ph.D. Maximum lecturers have 10 to 12 years of teaching experience. The course curriculum is excellent as per UGC guidelines. It is also very useful to UGC NET and GATE aspirants. All lecturers also help to prepare for competitive exams like UGC, NET, GATE, and research-oriented examinations.
Other: Central University of Odisha is one of the popular universities in Odisha. Maybe it doesn't provide any placement, but it provides free coaching for UPSC and OPSC along with various competitive exams like UGC, CSIR NET, and GATE.
