I chose iit Bhubaneshwar for its growing reputation modern infrastructure and strong focus on research and career development Compared to NIT Trichy and IIIT Hyderabad , it offered a better balance of academics and interdisciplinary opportunities along with the global recognition of the IIT tag. IIT Guwahati was a close contender but I prefer Bhubaneshwar for its proximity to home and smaller batch size which fosters better interactions. I faced rejections from IIT Bombay and IIT Madras due to my JEE advanced rank, reflecting on this I realize the need for more consistent preparation during my early JEE journey. The admission process is based on JEE advanced with eligibility requiring a good JEE main score and 75% in board exams. Admission happens through JoSAA counseling with document verification and fee submission. For my branch, the cut-off rank was around air 14000. IIT Bhubaneshwar has proven to be a great choice offering the support of an academic environment and excellent growth opportunities

The faculty-to-student ratio is quite good, faculty members are easily available through their e-mails and one-to-one in their respective offices, Prof NASA Reddy who teaches us Electrical Technology is my favorite professor Per semester there are 2 exams, Mid Sem and End Sem including Theory exams and Lab exams, theory exams are moderate to tough but Practical's could be hectic and upto 6 hours long The students can extend there 4-year courses to 5 or 6 years as per their need to complete them easily Students who fail the exam can repeat the semester and get higher cgpa

the nightlife at iit Bhubaneswar is relatively low key with most students focusing on academics the GYM is open until 10:00 PM and CAFETERIA close by 10:30 PM Offering a place to relax with snacks or dinner the LIBRARY closes around 11:00 PM for late night study hostels have flexible timings allowing students to stay in after curfew While public areas like lawns are perfect for late-night hangouts on campus the student activity center is a popular spot for events And cafe coffee day nearby is great for coffee breaks.
