My 3years experience summed up

No, but however sports quota and caste certificates for ST SC OBC are mandatory. Admission is done in multiple rounds on the basis of seat availability. Min 65% marks needed to get shortlisted, Merit basis admission the highest marks are given preferances and then if the seats are vacant there are multiple rounds of waiting list after that. Students have to report prior however a common provisional list is being provided and the students can choose their subjects only at the time of admission. Students may not get their preffered subject if the seats get filled prior. Students have to be present on the day and date assigned for the counselling process so that they can easily get admitted to the stream they prefer. 100 seats are available in the department of English. I was into Integrated BEd department a 4 year integrated course with my core subject as English so for that course Additional 10seats are being added along with the 100 existing seats.

Because I was interested in the course. English is a good subject to take in graduation it is multidimensional, you can opt for any further degrees after completion of this particular course. There are varied opportunities. Editor, Profiler, Lectureship, UPSC, Bank exams. This remains a big problem as the classrooms were overcrowded. But 60% of students hardly attend the class so it's quite okay. The teachers are well qualified and experienced. The teachers are very kind and helpful and they take optimum care of student's interests and take everything into consideration. Though some irregularities in classes but quite manageable because you can study most of the syllabus yourself. The lectures are quite interesting if you really enjoy classes though. Exams were scheduled on time. Midterm along with Endterm. It's difficult to score more than 60% most of the time because English is not a scoring subject. If you really want to pursue literature then only get into it.

The fees are quite manageable 600 per year is a good fee for an undergraduate course. However No extra internships or joboffers is provided. Scholarships under Government of Odisha is provided from the University but not from the department

There are debate competitions and essay competitions from the university itself. There is a huge library to dig into that is open for college hours. The classrooms are quite old-fashioned and traditional method is prominent. The department needs to work on it. Annual sports are held on yearly basis. Foodfests. Collegefests are not a thing but. The collegelife is not that happening. There are varied clubs you can join internal clubs though.

Students will be provided separate beds cupboards of their own on basis of room availablity. Students may have to adjust in dormitories as well if there is a shortage of rooms. Food quality according to the money is manageable but sometimes there is really bad meals provided. At the time of admission, you are being given the option. yes there are private hostels near to the college
