Upasana Samanta's Review On Veer Surendra Sai University Of Technology - [VSSUT], Burla

Positive - Infrastructure has improved drastically. Safety is much better now. Girls have better hours of stay outside hostels after college. Student activities have improved. Negative- Faculties need to be improved judging on the basis of teaching skills. evry single fund by ugc should be properly utilised though after 2016 new VP has actually worked on it really well.But during my time things were not so..

This institution provides outstanding courses in engineering like EEE, Electrical,Mechanical,Computer science, Electronic and Telecom,Civil,Production and Information technology .Our batch had the opportunity of 8 branches with 35 seats in comp science amd IT and 60 seats in rest branches including lateral entry but later on some few more branches like chemical and architecture were also started.

College had no voluntary role for internship but students used to it by their own worth. Some fewest faculties were really supportive in terms of guidance . As per my knowledge i had done my training in rourkela steel plant(RSP) and had not much help from my faculties.

The placement opportunities are quite fair . Being honest in my batch the placements were upto 60 to 70 percent and the batch strength of B.Tech students stood around 480 to 500 all total. Companies like Accenture,wipro,Infy ,Honda,Maruti,Delloite had come for on campus recruitment .

The fee structure is pretty simple and really cheap. During our tenure it was like this. Normal ( 15000 and 20000) 35000 yearly.Self finance (22000 and 28000) 50000 yearly. Hostel fees were 22000 but people are not so perfect so they were great in looting persons to around extra 4000 to 6000 yearly.

Regarding loan facility some people were benefitted under low income group whose parent salary were below 3.5 lacs per annum.Apart from this the reservation quota people had a liberty of scholarship and fees relaxation to a great extent.

The extracurricular activities during our time was fair. we had balconies for dance practice and music practice. Rooms were allocated for any kind of activity. 2 years back STUDENT Activity Centre was constructed and as i mentioned in terms of Infrastructure New VP has done great work

hostel infrastructure initially was meagre. No proper washroom. Water issues were there. hygienic sense were low. Later on during 2015 renovations were done and lot of changes were seen after new Vice president showed up.

The alumuni had played a great role and were really helpful.Mostly we were associated with branch seniors and they were really understanding. I possess no idea regarding any alumuni activity in college donation but people were really great volunteers during fests and theor presence lighted up events even to greater extent.

Exam structure is a bit hectic.Its divided into 8 parts named as semister. each semester comprises of mid term and main exam with the division of marks as 20 and 80 respectively. The hectic part is the mid term itself is 2 modules out of 4 modules and one has to study pretty much for securing something out of 20 .

Firstly I had to appear for an entrance exam named Orissa joint entrance exam (OJEE) where approximately some 2 to 2.5 lakh aspirants appeared.Then i had to score a rank of 503 (general women) and then i got the opportunity to be a part of this institution .

MY experience with faculty was fair. Few were outstanding,some moderate and some needed teaching skills because they were really fledgling in those parameters.Marking stood liberal to difficult based on teachers parameters and impressions. Very few faculties were unbiased especially teachers from Production and IT were mostly fair.. Regarding rest branches i genuinely have not much idea but mostly the words of mouth were that it was based on impression mostly.
