Agni Prakash Sahoo's Review On NIST University, Berhampur

Odisha JEE with rank of 2378. Placement track record helped me in choosing this college over others.

One of the great curriculum which matches those of IIT. The computer knowledge imparted even for non computer students is comparable to those of computer science/Information technology students.

Internship was with prestigious institutions like IIT and NIT. However there was no stipend but we got a rich learning experience. These internship helped in our future endeavours. The learning experience helped a lot in shaping our future career.

I selected this college because of the campus placements it offers. It had a track record of 80% students getting placed every year. The college also offers teaching experience to the students who don't get through campus placements. We had around 30 companies visiting every year with big wig's like Infy, TCS and Wipro on day.

We had many cultural event happening at different phases of the year. We had many cultural activities encouraging Odisha culture. We have even cultural fests involving different college representation from state and nation wide.

Though it was not a government college the fees were feasible. It was around 50000 per year excluding hostel fees. The hostel fees use to be 1600 rupees including breakfast and lunch.

Though I didn't avail of any loan I know of students who took loans from the college. There were also many scholarships offered from college for merit students.

Gender ratio was around 60 40 boy and girl respectively. Hostel use to have annual parties sponsored by hostel. It had a mixture of student from across India.

We also have alumni get together organized by college every year. Moreover we have easy access to college administration and faculties at any time of the year.

Yes we have regular exams and practicals happening around the year. We use to have 3 internal tests and 1 semester exam for one semester of 5 to 6 months. The 3 internals use to be of 10 marks each for each subjects. These internals used to happen every 1 and a half month. The semester use to be of 70 marks.

Faculties were highly qualified and most of them were pursuing their doctorate from prestigious institutions like IIT or IISC. They took keen interest in students learning the facts and not just mugging up the facts. They facilitated that we see the working of each of the laws.
