The college is about 26 years old. It is a value-for-money college.

Many students get campus placements in our college. The highest package is 8 LPA. The minimum is 1.2 LPA. The college is the best.

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.

Placements: Campuses have not come yet at our college because we are currently in the first year, but about half of the students in my batch have been selected for summer internships. The placement cell helps us regularly to stay informed about upcoming internship programs and other placement committee-related updates.

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.
