Trident Academy of Technology Bhubaneswar: Admission 2026, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

Trident Academy of Technology Admission Dates 2026

BPUT-affiliated B.Tech admissions use OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) for lateral entry and JEE-Main for first-year seats. TAT follows the OJEE 2026 counselling schedule for lateral entry, MTech, MBA, and MCA admissions. OJEE 2026 counselling for B.Tech first-year seats also operates on this timeline. The 2026-27 admission cycle has concluded.

The 2027-28 admission cycle is tentative. OJEE 2027 is expected to follow the standard Odisha JEE schedule, typically with exam in April-May 2027.

Hostel accommodation is available for both boys and girls at up to INR 67,000 per year (hostel fee inclusive). The MTech programme is one of the broadest at any BPUT-affiliated college, offering seven specialisations across both software and hardware domains, including the emerging Electrical Vehicle Engineering track.

Trident Academy of Technology Admission Process

B.Tech first-year seats at TAT are filled through two routes: government quota seats via OJEE counselling based on JEE-Main rank, and management quota seats filled directly by the institute. Lateral entry B.Tech seats (second year) are allotted through OJEE lateral entry counselling for diploma holders and B.Sc graduates.

B.Tech First Year Admission

B.Tech first-year admissions follow the BPUT standard: candidates must have passed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects plus one of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, or Technical Vocational subjects, with a minimum 45% aggregate (40% for SC/ST of Odisha). JEE-Main rank is used for government quota seat allocation through OJEE counselling managed by OJEE Board at ojee.nic.in. Management quota seats are filled directly by TAT on a merit basis.

B.Tech Lateral Entry Admission

Diploma holders in relevant engineering branches and B.Sc (PCM) graduates may seek admission directly to the second year of B.Tech through OJEE lateral entry. Minimum eligibility is 45% in the qualifying examination (40% for SC/ST). OJEE lateral rank determines government quota allotment.

MTech Admission

MTech admissions use OJEE MTech rank for government quota seats and GATE score for sponsored/self-financed seats. Minimum eligibility is a B.Tech or MSc in a relevant discipline with 50% aggregate (45% for SC/ST). Seven MTech specialisations are offered: CSE, AI and ML, Data Science, VLSI Design, Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical Vehicle Engineering, and Energy and Environment.

MBA and MCA Admission

MBA admissions use OJEE MBA rank supplemented by MAT, CAT, or KMAT scores for management quota seats, followed by Group Discussion and Personal Interview. Minimum eligibility is a bachelor’s degree in any discipline with 50% aggregate. MCA admissions are through OJEE MCA rank. Minimum eligibility is a bachelor’s degree with Mathematics at undergraduate or 10+2 level with 50% aggregate.

Trident Academy of Technology Placements

TAT recorded 120 companies participating in campus placements during the 2024-25 placement season. The Infocity Chandaka location in Bhubaneswar supports a recruiter base that spans IT services, IT product companies, banking and financial services, analytics, and manufacturing sectors. The CS-AI-Data branches (CSE, CSIT, CST, AI and ML, Data Sciences) generate the bulk of IT placement offers. Core engineering branches (Civil, Mechanical, EEE) have a smaller recruiter base, drawing primarily from Odisha-based public sector units, construction companies, and manufacturing firms.

MBA graduates are placed primarily with banking and financial services firms (HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank) and analytics companies operating in Bhubaneswar. MCA graduates join IT services and product companies. The VLSI Design branch places students with embedded systems and semiconductor firms. TAT claims the highest number of campus recruiters among BPUT-affiliated engineering colleges in Odisha based on recruiter count across recent years.

Trident Academy of Technology Scholarships

TAT students are eligible for multiple government scholarship schemes administered through state and central portals. The table below covers the main scholarship programmes available to TAT students.

For government category scholarship applications, students submit documents through the Odisha Scholarship Portal (scholarships.odisha.gov.in) or the National Scholarship Portal. Students from Odisha SC, ST, and OBC categories should initiate SSP scholarship applications at the start of each academic year, as the deadline typically falls in October-November. For institutional scholarship queries, contact the TAT admissions office at info@tat.ac.in.

Trident Academy of Technology Campus and Infrastructure

Trident Academy of Technology operates from a 10-acre campus at Chandaka Industrial Estate, Infocity Area, Bhubaneswar. The campus is in the IT corridor of Bhubaneswar, adjacent to the Odisha Computer Application Centre (OCAC) IT park and within the Chandrasekharpur technology zone. The location gives students direct access to Bhubaneswar’s IT industry for internship and placement engagements.

The campus houses department blocks for all 11 B.Tech branches, dedicated computing and VLSI labs, a central library, and conference and seminar facilities. DSIR has recognised TAT as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (SIRO) centre, which supports funded research activities within the institution. ISO certification and NBA accreditation for 6 programmes reflect the institute’s structured approach to quality management and outcome-based education.

MTech and MBA programmes share campus infrastructure with the engineering departments. The MTech Electrical Vehicle Engineering and Energy and Environment specialisations benefit from the lab and research facilities. The NBA accreditation for 6 BPUT-affiliated programmes is noteworthy for a private engineering college in the BPUT ecosystem, as NBA accreditation requires programme-level continuous improvement and outcome measurement aligned with Washington Accord norms.

Trident Academy of Technology vs SIT vs CVRCE

OJEE aspirants in Odisha commonly compare Trident Academy of Technology (TAT) with Silicon Institute of Technology (SIT), Bhubaneswar, and C.V. Raman College of Engineering (CVRCE), Bhubaneswar. All three are private engineering colleges in Bhubaneswar affiliated to BPUT. OJEE ranks determine allotment for government quota seats at all three.

SIT and CVRCE both hold NAAC A grade compared to TAT’s B+. TAT’s Infocity location is a specific advantage for IT-sector recruiter access and Bhubaneswar city campus proximity, compared to CVRCE’s outskirts location. CVRCE has a longer institutional history from 1997 and a larger alumni base. SIT has a strong NIRF presence. For OJEE aspirants specifically interested in the CS-AI-Data cluster, all three offer comparable branch portfolios. The decision typically hinges on closing rank, specific branch availability, and proximity preference within Bhubaneswar.
