No, unfortunately, it’s not possible to get a seat in Mechanical Engineering at VSSUT with such a low rank. Usually, the cutoff for the general category is around 60-70k and your rank is far from the cutoff rank. However, if you are adamant about getting a mechanical seat you can opt for the branch change facility under which the top 10% of students of a branch can change their branch. For this, you need to secure a good CGPA in the semesters. But this option is very risky and unpredictable so consider all options.
No, officially there is no wifi faculty at the hostels of VSSUT Burla. However, there are high-speed LAN connections that can be connected to a personal Wi-Fi router. The speed is pretty high. A few girls' hostels have wifi facilities only in their common rooms.
Usually, mechanical engineering students in VSSUT get placed in software companies. Around 10% of students get into Core Jobs with an average package of INR 5.5-6 Lakhs and the rest 60-70% get Software Jobs with an average package of around INR 3.2-.3.5 LPA. The reason it’s the average package is not at or with NITS and IITs or colleges is because of its poor location. Nevertheless, VSSUT is known to produce talented graduates.
In 2022, BTech Mechanical Engineering students of VSSUT received 80 offers and the highest package stood at INR 7.6 LPA.
Hope this helps you.
Both NIT Rourkela and VSSUT are at the same level in terms of placements. BioTech students from NIT Rourkela and Electrical students from VSSUT get placed in software firms like TCS/IBM. Therefore, I recommend you look beyond placements and adopt a broader perspective. Identify where your interests and passions lie and approach that path rather than running after placements.
The field of Biotechnology is growing at a fast pace with cutting-edge research taking place. Many of NIT Rourkela Biotechnology alumni are today advancing into successful careers or research paths. Some examples are
The best part of Biotechnology at NIT Rourkela is the limited number of students which increases your chances of performing well in competitive exams like GATE increases.
Overall, being a part of a well-reputed institute like NIT Rourkela will offer great exposure both academically and personally. As an Electrical student at VSSUT, you will most probably be getting into a boring job at PSU. Moreover, Burla has a deteriorating infrastructure and poor campus facilities. So go for NIT Rourkela!
VSSUT might be the best govt college, but CET is equally good. The only reason VSSUT has a better reputation is because of its rich legacy. There are some other minor aspects in which VSSUT and better than CET Bhubaneswar
Overall, VSSUT grooms you better as a person although both colleges have a long way to go before they can be even called good institutions by Indian standards.
VSSUT is an alma mater to a number of successful personalities. Here is a list of a few, along with their achievements-
These are just a few of the many great people who received valuable education at VSSUT.
VSSUT Burla has 3 girls' hostels, each with its pros and cons.
All the 3 hostels are in close proximity to the college and students can stay out till 7 PM. Hope the information was useful.
Here is a comparison between Ceramic Engineering at NIT Rourkela and Mechanical at VSSUT-
Based on these parameters, I would recommend you join Ceramics at NIT Rourkela. However, I would also suggest you talk to the alumni of both colleges before arriving at a decision.
Both Metallurgical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at VSSUT are relatively new. Here are a few points of difference based on some common aspects
In all, both branches offer decent opportunities with chemistry offering slightly better opportunities as compared to metallurgy. This is because it's open to a wider range of companies and this branch has great scope abroad.
No, VSSUT is not a tier 1 university and neither are IITs and NITs. One needs to understand the fact that the Tier-1 and Tier-2 system is relevant in the US and not in India. It is a classification based on internationally competitive research outcomes of a university. Indian universities don’t come under this category yet. In India, tier-1 means a college with excellent placements. In reality, very few of our universities fare well when their research outcome is considered. Also, India does not have any specific body to provide ranking based on international competitive research outcomes. The NIRF ranks colleges generally.
One also needs to consider the fact that India is a developing country with limited resources. The budget for research is less compared to foreign universities.
It can thereby be concluded that VSSUT University is not a tier-1 university but it is one of the best institutions in Odisha.
