Remarks

In case of study purposes Silicon is good and very strict.Campus placement also occur but IT sector only.So if you want to go for any core company then don't join silicon.Students who are studious and want to go for higher studies can join silicon.Its not like other private institutes where you can bunk classes and pass exams giving money.So be prepared for that.

Entrance Preview

Well.. considering my marks there is no better college than silicon i found.With that mark i couldn't be admitted to any good government colleges and there is no better private college than silicon in odisha.Also I heard about good academic results from some students so that's why I joined silicon.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

If i have to say about course curriculum.. obviously it isn't that good.But it is up to that level what you generally expect from a private engineering college.Hence it comes under BPUT it has to follow the course curriculum of BPUT.The course curriculum is okay.It depends on you that you study or not.

Internships Opportunities

No, generally it doesn't provide any internships but if you are applying for any internships then the college will refer you to that company.

Placement Experience

2.5

This is the area where many private institutes fail.In silicon for campus only you can find IT companies no core companies come here.Generally companies like Infosys, Wipro,Tech Mahindra,Capgemini,TCS come here to recruit.They give salary around 25k to 30k per month.Getting Placement in a company totally depends on you that you are that capable or not.Previous year around 60 Percent students got placed.

College Events

3

There is only one annual fest of three days celebrated including both cultural and technical fest in the month of March or February.They are not very big bounded with in the campus.Different events are organized in these 3 days.All the students irrespective of branch or anything can participate.

Fee Structure And Facilities

For those who will not stay in the hostel, the fee is around 1lakh 40thousand per year. This includes everything like your course fee, transportation, exam fee, etc. For hostilities, it will cost around 2lakh per year. Yes, it is, of course, expensive compared with other colleges. Also, there are expenses and fees you have to give like when you are participating in a club or you are doing extra courses.

Fees and Financial Aid

I don't think any loan facilities available.I mean I'm not sure about that.But yes there are scholarships available like Medhabruti which you can apply for.

Campus Life

3

Campus life is good here, little bit hectic but good.Hectic for that you can't bunk classes here.College is very strict about attendance.Minimum of 75% is needed.Lots of extracurricular activities are there.You can take part in different clubs like music club, sports club, robotics club. Competitions like debate are held in the time of college fest including sports competition also.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

There are 3 hostels which besides within the campus.2 boys hostels and 1 for girls.In the hostel you have to share room with other people.Basically 3 people live in room.Rooms are not that big but okay to stay.2 canteens are there in total for both boys and girls,one is veg canteen and other is non veg.Food is also okay.Not that bad to not that good.Hostel fee is 35000 excluding food.For food you have to give extra charge according to what you eat in a month. Generally it costs around 3000 per month.

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are very helpful in case of anything you want to know.But make sure you make a good relationship with them.They will help you in anything including curricular and extra curricular things.

Exam Structure

Here the exam is semester wise.Per semester you will found one main exam.Apart from that college execute two internals per semester and lab exams according to your lab classes and also You have to submit your assignments,you have to give quiz tests, surprise tests.In 4 to 5 months you have to attend all these.Yes these are a bit hectic because college is very strict in these cases.

Admission

Basically to get admission in any of the college under BPUT in Odisha, you have to attend JEE Main exam.Then according to the result you scored,you Will be notified that in which colleges you can get admission.In this way applied for some colleges and I got selected in Silicon.Then the institution gave me a date that when I can report to them and then they told me when i have to deposit the money and got my identity card.

Faculty

3.5

Yes,this is the point where Silicon is better than any of the colleges in Odisha.Faculty members are way good than any private and government institutions.They are well qualified for teaching purposes but also they are very strict in case of study purposes.

Placement Experience:

I would rate the placements at my college as 3 out of 5. Students usually become eligible for campus placements from the sixth or seventh semester, and a few well-known companies do visit the campus every year. The placement cell helps with basic training like resume building and interviews, and many students, especially from IT branches, manage to secure jobs. At the same time, the average salary packages are not very high and top roles are limited, so a lot of students also focus on skill development, off-campus opportunities or higher studies after completing their degree

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for placement from their 3rd year onwards. It has been only 2-3 months but I have seen several companies arriving at the college, prominent ones being Flipkar,Deloitte, Xerox, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Microsoft, Dell and several others including startups. There is no accurate data on how many offers have been made this year, but there are rumours that more than 95% of the eligible students have got placements. After getting a degree my plans are if I dont land into a satisfying job then I will start my preparation of the military or start a new business.
