Our college is good, but one improvement is needed regarding the caste system in the college hostel.

Infrastructure: There are many classrooms for students. All classrooms are medium-sized. Every classroom has separate cameras to monitor student activities. There is a big library for students, and the college hostel is located behind the college. The hostel is also medium-sized, and the food quality is average.

Yes, with an OJEE general rank of 2204, you have a good chance of securing a B.Pharm seat at Utkal University, though it is not 100% guaranteed. Government pharmacy seats in Odisha typically close within a general rank range of 4500 to 5500, putting your rank safely inside the competitive threshold.
