The college has been NAAC-accredited with a "C+" grade in 2005-06 and operates under UGC.

Faculty: Course fees are affordable for students and parents, not high and not low, medium-level fees for exams. Definitely, value for money, it’s worth it. Marshaghai Degree College is known for its low and student-friendly fee structure. The college keeps education affordable for rural and semi-urban students. Fees are much lower compared to many private institutions in Odisha. Scholarships and government aid further reduce the financial burden. This makes quality higher education accessible to all stu...

Looks one way, but turns out to be another.

Faculty: No, I didn't like the way teachers are teaching, it's not helpful at all, the students need to prepare and study for the exams without any help from teachers. The semester examination is kind of easy and at the same time hard, as it all depends on the preparation of the students and the teaching of the teachers.

Overall, this is a good college for a Ph.D. in education in India.

Faculty: Every teacher was skilled and had a Ph.D. degree. There was more than one qualified professor for each subject. If you encounter any problem in any topic or subject, the professors explain it extraordinarily so that the students do not face any difficulty. There were many professors here who had earned foreign Ph.D. degrees, and they also explained various topics to the students in a simple way.
