College is good. You can take admission and have a good infrastructure.
Placements: Placement is good. If you are a good student doing amazing in academics with extracurricular knowledge and coding knowledge you will surely get a better placement. Our average placement is 5 to 6 LPA but in 2025 batch we got 10 to 12LPA. Many companies like Infosys Flipkart Amazon TCS etc. B.Tech CSE core is in much demand but if you can take AI ML it will be better. Last year 80 to 90 percent got placement.
Infrastructure: Campus is a little big not that big do not expect that much. Classrooms are not that modern but always clean. Wi-Fi everywhere. Central library is good and it has many facilities. The key building is cafeteria which has 2 cafes 1 salon and a big restaurant and on the ground floor there are many stores like Maggi and more. Labs are clean not that messy and bad looking.
Faculty: Curriculum is good and has developed a modern syllabus. B.Tech in AI ML got Python and Java both languages. Students can get a great idea from this syllabus. Teaching is good but the number of faculty is not that good at teaching although every teacher has graduated from many great colleges.
Other: Do not expect any big fest. The best course to pick is in CSE core. I wish they did more fests events and concerts. Crowd is good as they have alternative time classes. You can get 20+ clubs or societies.

Actual Intention of the SOA University.
Placements: Placements occur in our college. Almost 70% of students get their desired job with a satisfactory salary. The highest package is around 20 LPA, the average is around 6 to 7 LPA, and the lowest is around 5 LPA. An internship system is also available in our university.
Infrastructure: The course is mostly related to the real world and application-based. Facilities provided are neither top-notch nor poor. The buildings are not old and are strong, so they do not break down easily. Labs have sufficient computers, and free Wi-Fi is available for all students. The hostel is good and has enough space to live in. The mess and canteen food is acceptable. The university also provides medical facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are highly skilled and talented but also very down to earth. The teaching methods are not complicated, and anyone can learn from them. The course curriculum is engaging and keeps you busy most of the time. The semester exams are not very difficult but are quite tricky. They help develop your brain for upcoming challenges.
Other: I chose this because I am not an extraordinary person not a very weak student. I was clear that I cannot pursue higher studies in any big course. I was sure that agriculture is my sure shot. The best thing about the agriculture branch is that it takes you to the land. This helps you understand how to manage land and irrigation.

The reality of the inside life of SOA University.
Placements: We have a placement system here, but I do not know how the placement system works here. Most students like to place from the outside campus because of the expectation for a higher salary. There is no data about the highest or lowest package offered in my course. All I know is that students are satisfied with what they get.
Infrastructure: The academic buildings and the hostel buildings are huge and wide. All the students studying over there can fit in and sit comfortably wherever they want. I do not know anything much about the hostel because I am a day scholar, but my hostel friends say that the hostel is big, and the food quality is acceptable. There are many indoor games to play.
Faculty: The curriculum that we study here is very relevant to the practical world. As for my branch, it is quite practical to know from the texts that we read here. The curriculum over here makes the students ready to implement in the practical and real world, also. The semester exams are not too difficult, but it is tricky and test your ultimate mind, and they help you to be smarter.
Other: Do not keep the hopes very high. The campus life here depends on the perspective of the student. Just be in reality, and it will be better for you. The college does have a huge library here, and many useful books and journals are available, that is very much required for all graduates. Many sports events occur here. Cricket, football, badminton, volleyball, basketball, kabaddi, and kho-kho are the most popular sports that are held during each sports event. Each branch conducts a fresher party for its newly arriving juniors.

My experience so far has been good for learning and growth.
Placements: From what I've seen with my seniors, the placement record is strong, and the university brings in a lot of well-known companies for recruitment every year. Placement cell is also quite active. Companies like TCS, Cognizant, etc., come here for the B.Tech course. To my knowledge, the highest package offered in B.Tech is 30-40 LPA, and the average is 8 -10 LPA.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty good, the classrooms are well-maintained with ACs and digital boards, and the labs have all the equipment you need for assignments. The Wi-Fi is decent enough to get work done. Hostels are fine, pretty much what you'd expect. The mess food can be a bit boring, to be fair, but the canteens have great options, so it's not a big deal. There are also libraries and many sports grounds for various games.
Faculty: Teachers I've had are mostly great, they actually know their stuff and are pretty helpful about helping you out if you're stuck on something. The syllabus feels up-to-date and prepares you for what companies are looking for. The Exams are challenging but fair, you can't pass by memorising everything. Basically, if you show up to class and study a bit, you'll do fine.
Other: I have taken B.Tech in the year 2024, so far it is good, there is so much more to explore. Campus is good with good students and facilities. They are helpful.

Good college in Odisha, ITER.
Placements: If someone is pursuing BCA, they become eligible for campus placements in their final year. For B.Tech students, eligibility starts from the 3rd year. The highest package is 4.5 LPA. Each year, over 2000 companies visit and offer comfortable packages to deserving candidates. Around 80-90% of students secure placements with decent salary packages. I plan to pursue MCA after completing my BCA.
Infrastructure: The hostels are really nice. The food is nice. Whenever I had any problems, I just filled out a form, and within 24 hours, the issue was fixed. Although the hostels are quite expensive compared to other colleges, they provide flexibility and comfort. The central library offers all kinds of books. Book lovers would really feel like they are in heaven there. Each classroom has projectors for digital education. Students involved in clubs and social groups may find it difficult to manage everything, but it is manageable if one tries.
Faculty: The quality of teachers and their knowledge is very important in the IT sector. To be honest, our college provides the best in class. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite impressive, as SOA has more than 500 faculty members. There are only two exams. They are mid-semester exams and end-of-semester exams. The mid-semester exams are usually tougher than the end-of-semester exams. Around 20% of students fail to clear each exam. The course curriculum is a little old, but it is being updated as of 2024.
