Today’s Statesman has a report on the latest status of the WODC related private medical college in Rourkela. Following is a quote from that article:
In December 2006, the government of Orissa invited Expression of Interest (EoI) from various parties for setting up of the medical college in Rourkela and 14 organisations applied. Subsequently, a high power committee, which met on 15 January this year, shortlisted six applicants.
The shortlisted applicants are BHD Charitable Trust, VELS Institute for Advanced Studies, Chennai, Jasar Dental Medical Education Health Foundation, UP, HI-Tech Hospital Bhubaneswar, BV Charitable Trust Bhubaneswar, PET, Rourkela and Cambridge Trust of India, Ranchi.
The applicants deposited a draft of Rs 1 crore with the government to set up a medical college with 150 seats and a multi specialty hospital with 750 beds. The government of Orissa will provide 25 acres of land and Rs 10 crore to whoever get the offer.
However, it is reported, after the initial scrutiny, that there is no further progress in it. In fact, during the invitation of EoI in November, Mr Sarada Nayak, MLA of Rourkela, had said that very soon, the work would begin as all the bottlenecks have been removed. When contacted, Mr Nayak said: “The case is in the court after the displaced persons’ association moved to court for which we are unable to do anything. But, soon there will be some development in this matter.â€

The UGC also has lists of colleges and universities in various states. Following are some links.

There seems to be a lot of coaching institutions at the plus two science level in the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack area. Below is a list and their ads just after the IIT and AIEEE results were out. They are not doing that well in the IIT front. Lets hope that in the near future some of the top-notch national level coaching institutions (such as FIIT JEE, Bansals) move to Orissa and increase the number of students sent from Orissa to IITs and IISERs. One national level coaching institution that will start this year is Narayana coaching.
