    It is the best university in Odisha than other universities.
    Placements: There are no placements in MA sociology, and no salary package is offered in sociology. If you want to study for placements, then I suggest going to other universities. In our university, none of the companies is recruiting students. None of the students got an internship from any courses.
    Infrastructure: In our university, hostel facilities are good. In the university, there is free Wi-Fi for all. The best part of the university is the library, which is quite the best among all others. Canteen and medical facilities are average, but they are not impressive at all.
    Faculty: Our university teachers are very helpful and well-qualified. Teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The teaching quality is awesome. Teachers are studying point-to-point, and they are also learning something good for us.

    College provides good education with value for money.
    Placements: None of the companies visited the campus with placement opportunities, but our students were prepared well to face the interviews outside after PG, and more than 50% students of our batch got placed as lecturers in contract in various colleges, others got engaged in the sales department and even got placed as editors in companies. Even our seniors are also placed in various institutions in the same way with some pursuing their M.Phil degree.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but could be made better further. There is hostel facility, canteen facility in the vicinity. The condition of the hostel is good with one student getting one room that enhances your study time. The food in the canteen is also good with a changing variety of dish every day. The classrooms are airy and in good condition, with good light and sound facility. There are Leads installed in each classroom for taking video lessons. There is a projector in every department. The library is full of books and journals that are considered necessary for the subject study. Even there is a good Wi-Fi facility available in the classrooms as well as in the hostel.
    Faculty: Faculty members are good in some way or the other. The regular faculty members are good with complete knowledge about the subject. But among the guest faculty members, some are not that appreciable. Even there are many posts vacant for the fulfilment which needs consideration of the government.
    Other: Every year there are various fests, events, competitions are organised by the college. The campus surrounding is actually very impressive. The campus crowd and connectivity with people is quite appreciable.

    Admission FAQs

    Q:   Is MA at Central University of Orissa better than North Orissa University (NOU Orissa)?

    A: 

    Comparision between these two answers is a bit difficult but here are some opints that might help:

    1. NOU Orissa has a Training and Placement Cell that arranges training and placements for students, while Central University of Orissa does not have a placement cell so i would say NOU Orissa is a better option.

    2. Both universities offer an MA in Odia, and both are approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and have a grade of 'B+' from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)
