Overall, this is a great college with friendly and supportive teachers.

Infrastructure: Basically, this course is not based on computers. We have a good department/classroom with political scientist quotes and photos that motivate me. It has fans, whiteboards, and its own library. There is no mess or canteen, so students have to bring their own food.

Review of Utkal University for the IMBA course.

Infrastructure: The hostel is not of good quality. Girls' hostel is well-maintained and looks good. The mess facilities are available at an affordable price. In boys' hostel, there is a mess facility. Conditions are okay, but there is always garbage here and there. The university has a well-developed infrastructure for students.
