Note: The list has not been ranked in any order. Come, let us take a close look at the admission process now. In the next section, we will have an in-depth analysis of polytechnic admission process in Odisha.

Polytechnic Admission in Odisha 2022

Government polytechnic institutes rely on merit based admission process. In other words, if you want to secure admission into a government polytechnic institute, you must crack relevant merit based selection process.

What is merit based admission process all about, some of you may ask. Under merit based admission process, seats are distributed among deserving and eligible candidates on the basis of their position/rank in a merit list.

The merit list is prepared on the basis of candidates’ performance in relevant entrance examination/selection test/interview and/or their performance in relevant board examination. Based on the merit list, seats are distributed among deserving and eligible candidates.

Polytechnic admission process may vary from one college to another. For example, some private polytechnic colleges may carry out direct or donation based admission process. But Government institutes rely solely on merit based admission process.

In other words, if you want to get into a government polytechnic college, you must crack relevant entrance test or selection process! Come, let us take a close look at the different types of polytechnic courses now!

Polytechnic Courses

Polytechnic institutes in Odisha are known to offer different types of diploma programs. Based on the course content, these programs can be broadly classified into two types –

• Technical (engineering) programs
• Non-technical programs

Technical programs are commonly known as Diploma in Engineering programs. For example – Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Diploma in Civil Engineering, Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Diploma in IC Engineering etc.

An engineering diploma program usually revolves around a technical subject (like mechanical, civil, electrical, CSE etc). Diploma in Engineering program is 3 years long.

A non-technical diploma program deals with non-technical subjects such as – office practice, beauty care, beauty culture, humanities, commercial practice etc.

A government polytechnic college is managed and/or owned by relevant department of the state government (department of technical education). Due to state-ownership, govt polytechnic colleges are able to provide subsidized education to its students.

As a result, when it comes to polytechnic admission, applicants prefer government institutes over private ones! So, if you want to get into a good government polytechnic college, you must perform well in the relevant entrance exam and/or selection process. All the best!
