This is the best college to pursue and the best option for your career.

Placements: Diploma in Pharmacy was a 2-year course, and after that, there was a 3-month internship that was also completed in the same hospital. So, there was no placement system in D.Pharma, but you were guided best during the internship period. You got experience in every department.

There was also a big library in the department where you could find every book that you required. Classrooms were also spacious. There was a separate lab for each subject where you could learn your practical knowledge very well.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified. They helped you to complete your assignments and cleared all your doubts. Semester exams were not hard because both theory and practicals were thoroughly taught by our teachers, so students did not face any problems during exam time.

Is your admission in this college.

Placements: The batch/course is MBBS, with 4.5 years of academic study and 1 year of compulsory internship. The college currently has an annual MBBS intake of 150 students. Formal campus placement is generally not conducted for MBBS. Students normally complete their compulsory internship in the attached hospital and then pursue jobs, government service, private practice, or NEET-PG/MD-MS. Therefore, a reliable placement percentage is not available.

Infrastructure: HMCH Bhubaneswar has modern classrooms, laboratories, simulation labs, an e-library, and clinical facilities. Hostel and campus amenities include a mess/canteen, medical support, and recreational activities. It provides a comfortable environment for MBBS students.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable, with good teaching quality. The MBBS curriculum is relevant and clinically focused. The semester/professional exams are moderately difficult, with a good overall pass rate. Overall, the college is good.

2.6

1.0Placements3.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty2.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

SCB Dental College - The only one in the state.

Placements: Health-related courses don't provide you with in-house placements. All you get to do is set up clinics, work under other dentists, or just do some other courses. It's bad if you're not famous. So take care of that properly. Other than that, there's not much to say.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is kind of good. It was renovated a few years ago, that's why I would give 3 stars. There is no campus life. It's just too chaotic. If you love peace, you should stay away from this campus. Seniors are mostly friendly, but don't try to be too frank with them.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, but the exams are not held according to the curriculum. It's wayward. They are not conducted efficiently either. It's a complaint for some while an opportunity for others, so you can look at it however you want. The internal exams are not that serious.

Other: I chose this college because it has good value for money. In the internship phase. Odisha Government provides a good internship stipend of around Rs. 42,000 for now.

Overall Review of Srusti Academy of Management and Technology: An Average College.
