Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar.

Infrastructure: I believe that the infrastructure of the college needs a lot of development. Construction work at campus never ends. Campus is not really big and we face some difficulty in finding our daily goods easily. We can have a vehicle for that purpose and it will make things easier. Laboratories are not equipped with adequate advanced instruments. A lot of practical topics remain up to theory only. Library facilities are really good, and that's the only nice part of our college.

Infrastructure: The coursework is in good condition as far as local colleges in India are concerned. The teachers are good at teaching; some are qualified, and some are not. Hostel conditions are good but quite old. The teachers are quite engaged in teaching activities. The mess and canteen food is also better than what one expects from hostel mess food.

College is really good in terms of education, and you'll even find lovable and entertaining friends.

Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi, labs, well-maintained classrooms, and a studious environment. There is a library filled with books. The hostel and canteen food is pretty good, but it may not provide all necessary nutrients. In terms of sports, the college motivates and encourages students to engage in games, and there is also an NCC group.

The Educational Backbone.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is average, but it has lots of funds that it can't use because of the small land area. The college is over 1000 years old, and it seems that there was no proper planning when it was built. However, it is the best college in Odisha for a B.Ed course. The classrooms are not sufficient for the number of students enrolled, but the canteen and mess are clean and hygienic. There is no space for daily sports, but they do happen occasionally.

Infrastructure: Hostels are available but are not preferred due to the living conditions. The hostels are in shambles. Unless and until you have a small monthly budget, do not opt for hostels. You can easily get accommodation facility near the college. There are many PGs for boys and girls available in BJB Nagar.

Utkal University - heritage and inside things.

Infrastructure: As it's a very old university, the infrastructure is very poor, and the hostel condition is relatively very unhygienic and bad. The only positive point is that the food is affordable. The classrooms are also not up to the mark, and labs are also very old and with outdated equipment and no facility for modern labs.
