Little things about Utkal University

Curriculum is good but can be improved Definitely more focus on including more practical experiments and practicals on bioinformatics could be helpful. Mostly one gets around 1.5-2 months for mid semester and then 1 month gap for end semester.

Year wise fees - 23000 (same for all category) Hostel fees - very nominal amount Extra fees like exam fees(1500 per semester),seminar fees(4000 per year) have to be paid separately Can get admission into the college through GAT B scholarship (scholarship of 5000 per month)or CPET exam

Campus Life is quite jovial and festive as every festival gets celebrated in college as well as department, also there is always some kind of function going on in the campus where you can participate in . There are so many Sports clubs that you can join. There is also the college initiative to help grow student start ups .

This college is one of the best and top Universities of Odisha ,which is why I was ok with joining here. I had applied for GUJURAT BIOTECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY and Central University of Tamil Nadu and also Central University of Punjab which were quite far from the place that I live ,also the hostel accomodation were a little problematic, so I decided not to join .

3 permanent teachers ,1 guest lecturer, 13-15 research scholars 28-30 students in each year Faculty that I liked - Dr. Jagneshwar Dandapat Sir Also few research scholars that are really helpful during practicals There is Mid Semester (30marks) and End Semester (70 marks) for every semester . Mostly every student passes the exam . The course curriculum is quite relevant

There is Parija library ,also there is digital library and computer centre. Alka market is there for stationary shopping. There is one college central Canteen for food. Girls hostel timings are little restrictive as the gates get closed around 7:00 pm while boys hostel hav no such restrictions as such for timings
