• The placement statistics for 2019 CSE pass out students stated as follows. T.C.S. didn't visit the college for in campus placement which was the Institute's only mass recruiter. But the students applied at the national level exams conducted by these companies.
• The previous year placement cell of the college didn't contact any other company then T.C.S., and the remote location of the college would also be considered as a big issue. Big companies like Deloitte, I.B.M., Robert Bosch, etc. mostly conducted their pool drive in private colleges in Bhubaneswar among which some government colleges for also invited. 
• IGIT was not asked because the placement cell never contacted them for placements. A new placement cell head was appointed last year, and a lot of steps are still to be taken to improve the placement results. 

Infrastructure:

A friend of mine completed BTech in Electronics and Telecom from IGIT. Here are some of the things that he shared about the institute. 

• Initially, you will feel the pressure from lots of assignments as assigned but then you will get used to it.
• The curriculum followed by the Department takes into account the latest subjects as per the current scenario.
• During lab sessions, you will have the guidance of teachers. According to my friend, Sunita ma’am was quite helpful. Some Faculties have exceptional knowledge in the field of Networking and Communication. My friend's guide was also of great help during his project in the final year.
• Apart from all this, there is decent placement as well not in terms of quality but quantity. Students get placed in companies such as TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Concept Infoway, etc.

From what I heard, there is not too much pressure from Teachers. You are free to do anything. So, make the most of your time at the institute.

You probably won’t find a detailed account of the life of a girls hostel at IGIT Sarang anywhere. But, I can definitely give you a brief insight of the same, since I have few friends at the institute. 

• Freshers are given according to Rohini Bhawan. Rooms at Rohini are 6 sharing. Staying with 6 other people is not easy, so you need to adjust.
• There are no attached bathrooms. There are 4 bathrooms in each corner of the 2-storey hostel. Each bathroom has 3 basins, 3 washrooms, and 3 stalls for baths. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly. 
• Power facilities are good. But there are long power cuts, especially during summer.
• Water facilities are not good here. Bring disinfectants like Dettol or Savlon with you if you don’t want to get any skin diseases. 

Hope this gave you an idea about the life at girl hostel at IGIT Sarang

VSSUT Burla is a much better option than IGIT Sarang. VSSUT, Burla - Being the Oldest engineering institute in the state, has some of the best faculty, a huge library, and a wide-spread Alumni net.

Discussed below are a few important points about VSSUT Burla.

• For any branch, VSSUT will be a better option, since it has better placement records, campus infrastructure, clubs, and the cutoff rank is also higher. 
• Most importantly it's autonomous so it has its own examinations and curriculum.
• If you have any problem regarding something you can directly get in contact with the Vice-Chancellor at VSSUT Burla. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes.

One of my cousins was in the same situation, whether to choose VSSUT or IGIT, and he chose VSSUT. If you look up the statistics you will clearly see VSSUT is much better than IGIT.

A friend of mine has told me that IGIT Sarang has the best fests and if someone is enthusiastic about the fests, then it is the place to be. 

It is arguably one of the fewer colleges in Odisha in recent years that welcomes the freshers in the grandest fashion through a fest called Consciencia. Students get acquainted with the legacy of the institution right from the get-go through this fest.

There are so many fests in IGIT that sometimes you will lose track of how much you are prepared for the exams. 

• The annual cult lit fest, Horizon is held in the month of February. 
• Another event that is held alongside is the International Model United Nations. 
• The sports carnival of Orissa called Utsahan is held where all the colleges across Orissa participate.
• A film fest also takes place in the institute where for three days; a film is shown to the students every evening. It’s one of the most anticipated events in the institute. 
• The Fun Fair is held on the 1st of April where the students are free to put their stalls. The students showcase their skills in writing, speaking, debates, and a plethora of other events which also include Mehendi.
• Resplendida is an event where the prizes for different events are awarded. 
• Apart from these, there are separate branch fests like the Quimica which is organized by the chemical branch fest. 
• The metallurgy branch holds the Admantium fest.
• The Technovision is held by the CSE branch.

To conclude, all the branches welcome their freshers through their unique fests. It also organize farewells for students who have completed their education at the institution.

The hostels for the female students are called the Rohini Bhawan and Prithvi Bhawan. The occupancy for the former is 6 students in one room. The hostel is for the first and second-year students.

The Prithvi Bhawan accommodates students who are in their third and final year. The occupancy is 5 students in one room.

The hostel for the first-year students which is more popularly called the Aakash Bhawan accommodates four students in one room. The same can be said for the hostel for the students of the second year which is called the Aryabhatta Bhawan.

The third-year students are allotted the Brahmos Bhawan and the Bhaskar Bhawan. In the former hostel, there are 2 students in one room, and in the latter, there are 4 students.

In the final year, the students are allotted the Surya Bhawan. In this arrangement, 1 student gets one room.

IGIT Sarang is one of the best government colleges in Orissa. It is also only one government college of Orissa that is eligible to submit an Institutional Development Proposal. The admission process for Electrical Engineering is based on the results of JEE Main and Orissa-JEE. 

The NIRF ranking of VSSUT University is 119 all over India. Likewise in IGIT Sarang, the admission process for Production Engineering and Metallurgy is based on the results of JEE.

Tabulated below shows the difference among both institutions: 

Admission process

• The admission process is the same for all the courses. The application process is fully online. 
• Admissions are based on the results of JEE mains or OJEE valid rank followed by interviews and counseling. 
• With this students are also required to have at least 45% in 10+2 with required subjects(Physics and mathematics should be primary subjects).

• Teachers are well qualified in their particular fields. 

VSSUT Burla

• The faculty is also well experienced. 

Both the universities are good choices for the above courses. Both courses have the same admission process among universities. The placement rate is quite better for IGIT Sarang than VSSUT Burla but if we talk about which one is affordable and has good quality teaching then VSSUT should be the choice.

One of my friends graduated from IGIT this year. Here are a few things that I got to know about the Mechanical branch at IGIT. 

Placements:

According to the statistics the placement sector is down in almost all colleges of Odisha. Seeing on the placement statistics of past years hardly a core company came for placement in IGIT.

• Companies like Vedanta, Jindal, and Bhushan did come for the core sector but the probability of students getting selected is not up to the mark.
• Most mechanical engineers join TCS or Tech Mahindra in IT. Very few of the students get placed in core companies like Vedanta, Jindal, or Bhushan.

This same situation can be seen in colleges like VSSUT and CET too. But they arrange some off-campus for mechanical students. Going in other campus placement is good in CET followed by VSSUT than IGIT. But that doesn’t make a big difference. Placement is almost the same in these colleges for core companies.

About Mechanical Branch:

The mechanical branch is one of the most strict branches of the institute. 

• It has well-equipped labs or workshops and this is something mechanical engineers brag about.
• IGIT has more reputed and respected professors in mechanical engineering as compared to other colleges.

The quality of education is average.

It will be better if you opt for CET followed by VSSUT and then IGIT. CET/VSSUT does call mass recruiters as compared to IGIT. IT jobs play the role of saviors since the number of core jobs is quite less. and are not likely to get a boost in near future.
