Apart from the names of colleges, you will also find additional details such as – popular engineering courses in Odisha, duration, eligibility criteria, scope, and admission process.   Why is choosing the best college such an important task, you may ask. The college you choose will have a great impact on your career. For example, engineering students hailing from IITs, NITs and other reputed engineering colleges get to enjoy benefits such as – placement assistance, good salary packages, the opportunity to learn under the best faculty, world-class amenities, etc.

How to choose the best engineering college, you may ask. Choosing the right college is not an easy task. But this task can be simplified by following a procedure. Are you wondering what this procedure is like? It is simple. While choosing a college, take a note of factors such as – quality of infrastructure, quality of faculty, rating of the college, reviews, recognition status etc.

If the college fares well in the above-mentioned parameters, you may go ahead and apply for admission. Before heading to the meat of the matter – list of engineering colleges in Odisha – let us take a closer look at this profession.

Engineering: The Profession

Engineering is the most popular choice among Science stream students in India. It is not uncommon to see the majority of 12th Science students apply for engineering admission!   What makes engineering so popular? The availability of a large number of engineering colleges across India is a huge factor responsible for this trend.   Some of the popular engineering branches in Odisha are –

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics Engineering
• IT Engineering
• Computer Science Engineering
• Civil Engineering

For an exhaustive list of engineering courses, you may check out this post – engineering courses after the 12th. The tasks performed by an engineer depend upon his/her branch/trade. For example, Computer Engineers are capable of performing tasks such as – programming, software testing, game development, etc.

Similarly, civil engineers are capable of performing tasks such as – construction management, project management, cost estimation, operating relevant software (CAD), etc.

Depending upon the branch or trade, the nature of work differs from one another! For example, civil engineers may end up spending a large part of their day at construction sites. On the other hand, computer engineers usually spend a large part of their day in front of computer systems.

The engineering sector is known to generate an ample amount of job opportunities each year. But the supply of engineering graduates is also massive! Each year, hundreds of thousands of engineering graduates pass out from colleges across India.

Jobs are being generated each year, but the number of applicants also is increasing at the same time. This has resulted in over-saturation of the job market. As a result, many engineering graduates are forced to take up low-paying jobs. Many others remain unemployed after completing engineering.

Let us check out the different types of engineering courses available in Odisha. Here’s everything you need to know –

Popular engineering courses

Based on academic level, engineering courses can be classified into the following types –

• UG level
• PG level
• Doctoral Degree level

UG stands for undergraduate level. PG stands for postgraduate level.   Based on the course format, engineering courses can be classified into the following types –

• Diploma
• Bachelor’s Degree
• Master’s Degree
• PG Diploma
• PG Certificate
• PhD

Let us take each course format and find out more details about them. Let us start a diploma in Engineering: This is a Diploma certificate course. The course is 3 years long. The minimum educational qualification required to apply for admission is – completed 10th class from a recognized board. After completing the Diploma in Engineering course, you may use lateral entry and secure admission directly into the second academic year of B.E. or B.Tech. program.

B.E. or B.Tech.: B.E. stands for Bachelor of Engineering and B.Tech. stands for Bachelor of Technology. It is an undergraduate level Bachelor’s Degree course. The academic program is 4 years long. The minimum educational qualification required to apply for admission is – completed 12th Science (with specific subjects) from a recognized board.

M.E. or M.Tech.: M.E. stands for Master of Engineering and M.Tech. stands for Master of Technology. It is a Master’s Degree course. The academic program is 2 years long. Students who have completed relevant B.E. or B.Tech. program are eligible to apply for admission.

M.E. or M.Tech. program will help you specialize in sub-disciplines of a particular engineering branch. For example, by pursuing a relevant M.E. or M.Tech. course, you may specialize in structural engineering (after completing B.E. or B.Tech. in Civil Engineering).

Types of Engineering Colleges

There exist three main types of engineering colleges in Odisha. Here’s everything you need to know –

• Government engineering colleges
