Admission to all programmes of the department of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering will start in the Academic Year 2007-08 and to the other Departments by Academic Year 2008-09.

This is a great move. I hope they will team up with RSP hospital and/or Rourkela General hospital to start a medical school.
