Padmanabh Pundrikaksha Pancham's Review On NIST University, Berhampur

I had given OJEE exam and got all india 4K rank. Also I had given the JEE Mains exam. I opted this college due to its environment and good academia. Also i had interest in higher studies which is possible from this college.

The course structure is a bit lengthy but it covers all the important areas. Coming to research i would tell it is the best college in the state as there are many opportunities . There is a Research Assistant scheme for the students in which they are also paid and work under different faculties. Also there is a scope for higher studies as college .

Yes our college also provides internships but this facility is maximum availed by the outsider students as our college students think that internships must be done outside the college. Our college provides thee stipend of Rs 2000 but the faculty and quality of internships are too high. Students fro many IITs and NITs also come here to do internships.

Upto Last year the placement was best in Odisha but seeing the market scenario this year till now only 30% placement is there. Name sake summer course are enforced , but lessons taught in course are up to the point.

Our college celebrates two major events. The first one is the technical fest SANKALP in the month of December. In this fest students from different colleges come and participate in activities like dance competition, robotics competition, online gaming, paper presentation and many more. this fest is of two days.

The fee structure is not much expensive. A middle class family can afford the expenses of the college. The tuition fee for the college for 2 semesters is Rs 1,12,500 which also includes the bus fee as the college is 20 km away from the town.For the hostelites the bus fee is a bit more as compared to the localites and Rs 7000 for the books which is provided in the college.

The exams are divided into internal and external exams. There are two internal exams in one semester which of 100 marks each. these marks are converted into 30 scale i.e x marks in 200 is equivalent to y marks in 30. These marks are then added with the external marks which is of 70 marks which sums up to 100.

I got admission on the basis of my JEE mains rank. The admission procedure is conducted by BPUT(Biju Patanaik University of Technology) as joint counselling. A draft of Rs. 5000 is demanded for that and they alloted centers for choice filling.

The college faculty of our college is very good for the specific branches like CS, ECE, EEE, ME. There are many Phd. Professors and also Post doctrate Professors and there are very much interested in clearing doubts if someone approaches them. They give different small small projects to clear the basic understanding of the subject.
