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

Infrastructure: Even though the campus of my college is small, it is well organized with plants and flowers. The quality of the classrooms is average, but I can say the library is good. As a day scholar, I don't know much about hostel facilities, but the MBA guidelines of my college are good, and training programs are going well.

Review of Utkal University.

Infrastructure: All labs and classrooms are fine, but the hostels are a little messy. Many students are living there for a better future. Overall, this is good, and students can also study there. There are good facilities for living, and the food will be your own; that's what I have to say about the hostel.

Average college, worth for money, and could be better.

It is a reputed college, but it needs revision and improvement.

Infrastructure: Various kinds of facilities are available for students, such as washrooms for both male and female on each floor, Wi-Fi connectivity, an auditorium, properly ventilated and lit classrooms with regular cleaning. The library is still not modernised and lacks digitalization. However, it has a good collection of books. The food quality of the canteen is good and at an affordable price. There are fire safety measures, but the college lacks medical safety measures. Sports and games should be improved....

Average placement is around ₹4–6 LPA. Marketing usually offers broader opportunities, while Tourism & Hospitality is good if you’re specifically interested in that sector; both have scope depending on your career goal.
