Overall it's a good place to study.
Placements: The placements for our course never came in. We had only one company that was Indigo who offered the post of ground staff with a package of around 2.4 L p. a. The previous year placements were not that good though but there were companies. Internships come but the present year internship was a horrible experience. Yes there is a placement cell in the office but the companies for our department are None. That should be taken care of.
Infrastructure: If we talk about infrastructure it's good and they are improving. The whole campus is enabled with Wi-Fi. Classrooms are air conditioned. Recently an e- library is going to be inaugurated. Canteen food is good with really affordable prices. Hostel rooms are not upto the mark.
Faculty: The faculty members are good but the teaching quality has been lowered. Teaching methods like smart classes but need more practical and field exposure. The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable but the methods of teaching should improvise. The curriculum was helpful.
Other: Events, fest, campus crowd and rest all is up to the mark. The campus surrounding needs to improve.

Utkal University is a memory of life.
Placements: Many students get placed and it is above 70%. The highest package is 8.5 LPA and the lowest package is 5 LPA. We did not face any recruitment companies during my final exam and many students are self-responsible for their own job. Many students prepare for government jobs because we really don't know where is our importance.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities have improved during the last year. Wi-Fi facilities are available in every hostel. We have a separate department library and also have a massive library named Parija Library. Both books and internet facilities are available. The science department also has its own labs and a separate library. The class infrastructure is very good at all.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful but not supportive. They just announced to support us but in the background, they are busy with their own work. Teachers are knowledgeable but not good at teaching. During exam time, it is very tough.
