Remarks

Silicon has always been a popular choice for students looking for a private engineering college in Odisha due to its academics. It is known to have a stricter environment, and students regularly achieve University gold medals. Besides, the placement records are also very good every year.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum wasn't really updated and as most engineering colleges the format of assignments and tests are old fashioned. There's very little room for innovation when it comes to just academics. When it comes to industrial exposure, the Entrepreneurship Cell of our college regularly holds visits and talks that provide plenty of exposure to students. The faculties are great, and an interested student can participate in interesting events and projects if he/she stays in regular touch with their faculty members.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 540000 per year

Placement Experience

A lot of companies visit the college with SDE profiles. Packages offered are competitive, ranging from 4-7 LPA. Students regularly crack these companies as well as many off-campus opportunities. The placement process is very smooth and transparent, and the placement department is run by some of the best people in the college. Alumni networking for job referrals is decent, one has to keep in touch with them or be active on LinkedIn to come across such openings. Lecturenotes is a popular startup by Ayush Agarwal, a Silicon passout. It has become a huge success among college students to share and study classnotes.

College Events

2.5

The campus life and events was a disappointment. The techincal and cultural festivals feel more or less like a high school exhibition where there is much involvement from teachers and students are unable to exhibit their full potential. Pop stars and icons are not invited to such events, and it is done entirely by students for students. Hence, outside college participation is also very low.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus infrastructure is decent when it comes to Wi-Fi and lab facilities. We have dedicated labs for robotics, IoT, libraries, computer libraries. Plenty of sports facilities are also available: gym, basketball courts, badminton courts, cricket and football grounds, indoor sports rooms, etc.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Availing hostel facility is very easy. One can enroll by contacting the concerned authorities. Hostels are good here, hygiene is decent, the floors and bathrooms are cleaned everyday. The mess food is average, and hygiene could be improved.

Hostel Fee: INR 55000 per year

Admission

Admission criteria is OJEE counselling which considers JEE Mains rank/score. I got through 1st round of counseling on 2017 with a rank of 2.35 lakhs.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course and curriculum were articulated according to the student's needs. The topics and the syllabus helped the students learn their subject thoroughly. The inclusion of different theories and then applying those in real time was a game-changer. It helped changed our point of view in many ways and also helped us to look at things in a better way.

Complete information about G.A.M puri Ayurvedic college.

Likes

If you consider an Ayurvedic college in odisha then it is the best college but if you compare with it with a medical college then you will b disappointed.
It is a professional college so you get enough time for social interaction. This college placed in the core of the town so all facilities are available.
Teachers are moderately experienced . They need to be more professional because it is a medical college.

Dislikes

Infrastructure has to b improve. Hostel should b kept sanitized.
Clinical practice is not available for all. It should b improved.
Teachers are found to b rare of helping nature.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always want to be a doctor so I choose BAMS because I couldn't got a seat for mbbs . BAMS is our own system of medicine. The central govt is promoting ayurveda, these are the things triggered me to choose BAMS. But it is very unfortunate that the state govt of odisha is not promoting BAMS which is very pathetic.

A pretty good college with scope of improvement

Likes

The campus life is amazing. Our student union is extremely hard-working, and they always come up with some events or other to make your boredom go away
Faculties are very knowledgeable and unlike most colleges, they actually want to teach. The clinical experience is unmatched
Infrastructure is top notch. Single rooms are available from second year, and the hostels are quite well maintained

Dislikes

The curriculum is a bit too strict regarding marks and attendance. A little leniency would have been better
The campus area is a little smaller compared to other AIIMS
Too much administrative red tape causes delay in almost everything, be it installation of new water filters or filling a pothole

Course Curriculum Overview:

I wanted to become a doctor, and MBBS is the first step to become one, so I choose this course. This course makes you a primary care physician, capable of providing basic healthcare services. And being a bachelor's degree, this is a stepping stone for the future endeavours in medico life. Though I feel there's room for improvement in the flexibility of the course, as there's not much to choose what to study. Exams are once in 2-3 months, and are moderately difficult, except the professional exams, for which you have to put your best efforts

Anonymous's Review On Silicon University, Bhubaneswar

I choose this college as its academic studies is really good. Rules and curriculum are really strict here, There are strict rules against raging,No one dares to do so,And unlike other near by colleges like KIIT or ITER the placement is not that good but the quality of knowledge is great. Here u ll have to struggle to secure marks not just u get the questions. Here the fees are also less as compared to other big universities but yes the infrastructure is not that high-tech. We had 4 branches till 2019 and in the upcoming years we r going to have 7 of them all are IT and electrical related branches. Comming to the demerits there is very less but one of the major is that any issues or incontinence if caused (like money mater,results, rechecking of answersheet) are not solved properly its like the authority simply ignores it. And some rules and regulations are made up like that that the student will not get benefited. They will keep u busy with their assignment,test,projects 24*7 which is in my behalf not right atleast there must be some relaxation....Read More
