Omkar Ray's Review On Synergy Institute Of Engineering And Technology - [SIET], Dhenkanal

Odisha JEE , My State Rank was around 4000 and I was referred by my cousins and their friends who's were continuing their B.Tech and asked to join for Mechanical Branch only.

Well my specialisation was Mechanical and the Mechanical labs were pretty well equipped but we were only allowed to observe and those equipment's were mostly operated by lab assistants or M Tech students. But during our final year projects, our lab assistants helped us a lot with the tools and equipments those were required for our projects.

There were no internship programs carried out in college. We were provided with a bonafide certificate and we submitted that certificate in companies in which we wanted to intern in. But we had few one day visits to companies like Infosys, and few core companies.

College had tie-up with Wipro Technologies, Ramtech and few other companies. We had few on campus drives but majority of students were placed in off campus drives. Before we completed our engineering 30% of final year students were already placed.

Fee structure was according the norms of State govt. but hostel fees and other amenities cost was decided by college management. Those who enrolled through the E-Counselling had less few compared to guys who joined in the management seats. All the state govt scholarships were available.

All the state and central govt scholarships were available. I availed the state govt scholarships for scoring good marks in my 12 standard by state govt. Other scholarships were provided to some particular caste students . Even college provided scholarships to the toppers of every Branch from all the year.

Well the gender ratio was pretty good except for my branch. The ratio was 140:23 in my Branch but luckily we had friends in other branches. Parties were organised in different hostels. There were some kind of racism between the local students and hostel students during the initial years but later these differences vanished.

Well hostel food was not good which perhaps is the case in every college. But during few events lie Ganesh Puja or Durga puja few special dishes were prepared. Some times once in every week a special dish was prepared. At the start of every month there would be meeting deciding the menu for the month. But most of the time we were having good from outside.

Every month we had unit tests, semester exams were scheduled by university, almost 5 days a week we had labs some of were boring and some were pretty interesting. Overall experience was chilled out but the lab tests were little tough.

Faculty were well qualified few of our professor's were retired from NIITs and other deemed universities. My favourite department in college was the Physics Department, in particular Satya Sir. He was one of the youngest professor's who really could get every one focused during his class. My personal favourite Bhol Sir from Mechanical Department, apart from Mechanical lessons he gave intellectual lessons about life.
