Review

The admission process is very well. The staff is handling the work properly. Mostly the process for MSc courses admission is regulated by SAMS Odisha. The only improvement I need in the admission process is more time should be provided for admission.

In the current COVID s the term exams are being completed within a gap of 4 months. Since there is less time for exams it's harder for the students to prepare in time. The exams are a little bit tough as the exam pattern includes mostly short questions. Most of the faculties are better and student-friendly. Faculties are not sufficient for this many students in this course.

Go for it, If you live near Rourkela

A score above 80% if you are general. score above 50% if you are ST/SC. You have to apply and pay 18000 online, then go to college and submit the form. You have to carry the 10th mark sheet, 12th mark sheet, and migration certificate.

I applied for this course because of the Career benefits it provides. but don't expect you will get high-income packages by doing this course. Computer Science at this college is very outdated and I recommend doing a side hustle like udemy and other courses alongside this.
