SCB Dental College - The only one in the state.

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.

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.
