Knowledgeable teachers and good infrastructure.

Placements: There were fewer placements. It was more research and PhD focused. The packages offered were 2 LPA-3 LPA. Recruiting companies were Accenture, Glenmark, and Federal Bank. Last semester, we did a research project under an assigned teacher. Roles offered were research analyst, R&D scientist, QA or QC analyst, government scientist, etc.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was good overall. There were AC classrooms, labs with enough space, and a huge library. I never lived in hostels but what I heard through students was that hostel facilities were decent. The food was not good. There were separate hostels for different courses.

Faculty: The faculty were qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality was decent. The course curriculum was very relevant and it made the students industry-ready if they had a grasp of the concepts. Semester exams were not that difficult but there were no gaps in between each subject so that was an issue.

Other: I chose this course in order to acquire a better job in my field. I wish there was more time in between exams. Events and fests were for engineering students. We had our Saraswati puja celebration.

Great facilities, good competition among students to enhance your skills, and good infrastructure.

Placements: Well, generally it varies, like if you're a studyholic, then you need to achieve 9 CGPA to get the best internship. Generally, I secured a 7 CGPA. The highest package can go up to 60k, and if you're lucky, then you can secure 70k too, and the lowest is 20k. TCS requires 70% above in Back-ends.

Infrastructure: Well, facilities are pretty good. We promote many different activities to participate in and a variety of clubs to join. The infrastructure is also pretty good, and overall, we have smart classes and many games to promote a healthy life. Well, I didn't go to the hostel.

Faculty: Well, the teachers are indeed helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Many of them have different teaching techniques, but in the end, they will help you clear all your doubts. If you're interested in the coding industry, then these courses will help you. Pretty hard though, and the passing percentage is 25%.

Other: I chose B.Tech, and I love Front-end coding. Well, events are generally held on specific occasions, and the scholarship is pretty good here.

Overall, a good college with average placements and facilities.

Placements: Placements at Siksha 'O' Anusandhan (ITER), Bhubaneswar, for CSIT are decent but depend a lot on individual skills. Since I am currently in my 2nd year, based on seniors' experience, around 70-80% of students get placed. The highest package goes up to around 20-30 LPA in top companies, while the average package is around 4-6 LPA, and the lowest is around 2.5-3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at ITER, SOA is quite good with well-equipped labs, smart classrooms, decent Wi-Fi, and a good library for study. Hostels are clean and safe, though rooms can feel a bit crowded. The mess food is average, not great, but manageable. Sports and medical facilities are available, so overall campus facilities are satisfactory.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and mostly well-qualified, and the teaching quality is decent. The curriculum covers important concepts, but you need extra self-learning to be industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate in difficulty, and passing is not very hard if you study regularly.

Other: I chose CSIT because I am interested in the tech field and software development. The best part of the course is that it gives good exposure to coding, projects, and basic industry concepts.
