I'm not satisfied in this college.

Placements: The placement in this college is very poor. There is no proper management regarding the placement in this college. There is a placement cell in college but they do nothing. We have to do hard work to get internship in the college. Seniors also get placed by their own hard work.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure in this college is very poor. There is nothing in this college. The classrooms are not good as per the students. Library is very small and also the subject books are not available. Main problem comes with the hostel. The hostel mess area is very dirty. Not looking like a hostel.

Faculty: Very poor teaching quality with a not helpful nature, as well as qualification and knowledge, is not up to the mark. No, this course doesn't make the curriculum relevant and it doesn't make students industry-ready. Without the completion of the courses, the semesters take place.

Other: Infrastructure and teaching should be better.

Great 4 Years, major stress.

Placements: Placements for our batch are surprisingly good, honestly better than the hype. The training programs are really helpful, especially the workshops on aptitude tests and group discussions. They make a huge difference. Most people in my core branch got an offer. The big companies look for a high GPA, so don't fail to keep your scores up even in the fun subjects. The Placement Cell is kind of slow sometimes with paperwork, but they get the job done eventually.

Infrastructure: The campus looks great on the brochure and in person. Our department labs are fully equipped, and they actually upgrade the software every year, which is essential for our course. The classroom projectors are always working, which is a miracle. The hostel is decent, not luxury. Rooms are okay, usually shared by three, but the Wi-Fi is spotty in the evening. The mess food is the biggest letdown. It's edible but so boring. We all chip in for a monthly pizza night to survive. They have good sports facilities, though, like a massive cricket field, which is a plus.

Faculty: The faculty is a mixed bag, to be honest. Some professors are absolutely brilliant, super knowledgeable, and they really try to help you understand the tough concepts. They'll even hold extra classes if you ask. Then there are a few who just read off the slides, and you have to teach yourself. The exams are manageable, but the internal grading is where they get you. You need to score well in your assignments and class tests because they carry a lot of weight. They also have a ridiculous 75 percent attendance rule, and they actually enforce it.

Other: The campus life is awesome; it's the best part of this college. There's always some club meeting, a hackathon, or a sports tournament happening. The crowd is very diverse and friendly, so you'll definitely find your group, whether you're into tech, drama, or just chilling in the canteen. The annual cultural fest is the highlight of the year. It's huge. My only real suggestion for admission is don't stress over anything except your entrance rank. That's 90 percent of the game. Also, try to talk to a current student before joining, so you know exactly which hostel block to avoid.

Needs to be better. Facilities must be improved.

Placements: The placement cell is not good enough. I am a pass-out student of this college. The college has no interest in placement. The college has a placement cell, but the placement cell has no work to do. Last year, only Q Spider came to the Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology.

Infrastructure: Surely, as I have lived on this campus for 4 years, the campus infrastructure is very poor and bad. There are no proper classrooms for the students. No Wi-Fi is available. No proper management. Labs are good. Facilities provided in the hostel are very bad, with no proper drinking water.

Faculty: Below average college. The college is called autonomous, but it is not worth it. There is no proper management for students. Teachers are good, but some of the teachers have rude behaviour. Paper checking in this college is very poor. Average paper checking.

Other: Good campus crowd. Connectivity is available.

I am not very satisfied with the college.

Placements: I am a fourth-year student at this college, and I want to say that it's literally a very bad college. Getting an internship is also very hard here. The seniors who get placed do so by their own hard work. The college has no interest in the placements of the students.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are very small. Wi-Fi is available in the college, but students do not have access to it. The condition of the labs is good. There are no medical facilities on this campus, and we have to depend on our own. The college has no own field.

Faculty: The course is relevant and prepares students to be industry-ready. To pass the exams, we have to study a lot. Basically, I am satisfied with the college, but not as much as with other government colleges. The teaching should be more improved. Some teachers have very bad teaching quality.

Other: I wish the infrastructure were better.

This college has no placements and bad infrastructure.

Placements: I am a student of Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology, and I want to say that there is nothing about placements at this college. I can say that there is a placement cell, but it's not worth it. Compared to other colleges, there are no campus placements. The placement record is very poor, and all the companies shown on the website are fake.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is very poor. Although I can say that the infrastructure is improving day by day, it is not at all worth it. The classrooms are not capable for the students to sit properly. Wi-Fi is available, but the connection signal is very poor.

Faculty: The faculty system in this college is very poor. The teachers are knowledgeable and qualified, but their behavior towards students is very rude. The teachers do not listen to the students. The semester exams in this college are literally hard. Many students have backlogs in their exams, and it's very hard to clear the back papers.

Other: The campus surroundings are not very good. Events are very poor, and scholarships have been canceled.

I'm very dissatisfied with the college.

Placements: This is one of the worst colleges I have seen in my entire life. There is nothing here. There are no placements in this college. Although there is a placement cell at Sambalpur University Institute of Information Technology, they do nothing. Only QSpider came for internships.

Infrastructure: Nothing is good here. The infrastructure of this college is below average, and the facilities are not up to the mark as per the fees they are demanding. They are uploading photos of the university gate on their website. The hostel is also not good, the mess area is very dirty, and there is no hygiene in the hostel.

Faculty: The teachers are very rude and do not listen to our problems. The semester exams are very hard to pass. Many students have backlogs, and even some of the toppers have backlogs in some papers. The teachers still do not listen to anything. The semester exams are very difficult to pass.

Other: Many improvements are needed here.
