My College Review

As it is one of the renowned colleges of Odisha and it had a good environment and studying facility I opted for it. The only disadvantage I face here is that the faculty of architecture is very new and hence it needs to be more developed so that it nourishes the students with a better quality of education and better site visits, more research work and external knowledge other than the academic knowledge. The admission process was very simple as we opted for Odisha jee admissions which allot to the colleges through the marks obtained in jee paper 2. Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology, Sarang, Odisha has better opportunities for students of architecture as compared to other government colleges present in Orissa as the number of faculty though new but they're regular as compared to other government colleges present out here. I was regularly going through educational sites as well as the ranking of colleges before choosing this college as the Alma matter for the next five years of my life.

I have chosen Bachelors in Architecture because my aim is to become a good architect and build beautiful buildings and monuments. We have a very small faculty comprising around 10 teachers. So the student-teacher ratio could be termed as 1:5. Everest faculty is highly educated with either masters or PhD degrees as well as great failed knowledge of architecture. The teaching method generally remains of practical thinking in which they induce in us a sense of logical and innovative ideas. There are generally two semesters. If the semester consists of two midterms or internals. So there a total of four semesters and 2 midterms in a year. The difficulty of the midterms is quite not so high and one can pass easily just going through the notes but as compared to the semester one has to really prepare well so that one could get a decent amount of grades and pass.

Students become eligible for campus placement from the sixth semester. Highest packages are around 6 lacs per annum and lowest packages around 1 lakh per annum. This year the percentage of students getting placement has increased a lot and has become 60 to 70%. My plans after getting the degree are to work under a renowned architecture firm and in the upcoming future years building my own architecture firm.

When the fees are quite moderate and considerable and there is no generally sudden hike of fees. Architecture being a very expensive course the additional money that we required for sheets, drafting pens, drafting board, laptop along with other things make it quite reasonably very high price as compared to the course itself. So in short personal expense for this course is high. I am currently under the scholarship policy of medhabruti and I have applied for a loan for my studies. I am currently in 3rd year and have not got any jobs.

The annual fest is Horizon. Every branch of our college organises its own branch techfest such as Quimica, cosmito, technovation. They are all generally conducted in the month from January to March. We have a very great library with every journals and book available which you can easily issue. Classrooms are well acquainted with drafting boards and desks and cupboards. Sports includes Cricket, Basketball, Football, khokho. Extra curricular activities on the campus include Wushu (martial art), literally competition, MUN, etc. Social groups include a MUN group, Robotics, Quizzer, etc.

The facilities provided in the room of a hostel includes beds for all, open shelves with study tables. The meal quality is highly hygienic and the menu keeps on changing every day and after a certain month like two or three months the menu completely changes and a new menu is made that to with the opinions of the students of the hostel or the borders. Registration for hostel and affordability was very easy as every girl child of the college living 20 kilometres at least away from the college will surely get a hostel room. The hostel is very near to the college and within the college campus.
