I am satisfied, and it is one of the best government colleges in Bhubaneswar.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well-educated, and highly qualified. As my course builds a foundation for various upcoming careers, the pass percentage is 40%. The exams are properly monitored by invigilators, and it's hard sometimes too, but teachers are very supportive, not all but some.

The infrastructure is really good.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable, highly cooperative, and genuinely good people. They are the main reason I maintain a good CGPA. They are always willing to clear doubts and provide guidance beyond the curriculum. In terms of course structure, the management is forward-thinking. We hear that the junior BBA batch (2025 onwards) has transitioned to a 4-year duration, likely incorporating NEP 2020 guidelines, which is a major positive and adds value to the degree.
