Good college in Odisha, ITER.
Placements: If someone is pursuing BCA, they become eligible for campus placements in their final year. For B.Tech students, eligibility starts from the 3rd year. The highest package is 4.5 LPA. Each year, over 2000 companies visit and offer comfortable packages to deserving candidates. Around 80-90% of students secure placements with decent salary packages. I plan to pursue MCA after completing my BCA.
Infrastructure: The hostels are really nice. The food is nice. Whenever I had any problems, I just filled out a form, and within 24 hours, the issue was fixed. Although the hostels are quite expensive compared to other colleges, they provide flexibility and comfort. The central library offers all kinds of books. Book lovers would really feel like they are in heaven there. Each classroom has projectors for digital education. Students involved in clubs and social groups may find it difficult to manage everything, but it is manageable if one tries.
Faculty: The quality of teachers and their knowledge is very important in the IT sector. To be honest, our college provides the best in class. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite impressive, as SOA has more than 500 faculty members. There are only two exams. They are mid-semester exams and end-of-semester exams. The mid-semester exams are usually tougher than the end-of-semester exams. Around 20% of students fail to clear each exam. The course curriculum is a little old, but it is being updated as of 2024.

However, more industry tie-ups and internship opportunities would help. The campus has a vibrant crowd, regular fests, and active clubs. It's well-connected and located near essential amenities.
