CUTM M.Sc Zoology: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

This private university in Odisha stands out as the state's only institution offering an MSC in Zoology and is recognized as the sole skill university in Odisha. With over 30 courses available, the university is noted for high-quality teaching and a well-qualified faculty, where all 100+ members hold PhDs, ranging in age from 25 to 55. However, teaching quality varies, with some departments having a mix of highly talented and underqualified professors.

The annual academic fee is 60,000 rupees, with a hostel and mess fee of 55,000 rupees. Fees can be paid in 2 to 3 installments, along with a caution deposit of 12,500 rupees, out of which 7,500 rupees is refundable, though there are delays in refunds post-course completion. The university provides annual placement opportunities for engineering students, with many securing jobs within and outside the state. While the university claims a 100% placement rate, this is mostly seen in BTech, MCA, or MBA programs.

Students from other programs, such as MSC Botany, may not find relevant job placements. Scholarships are offered for SC and ST students, but not for general category students.
