Ranking of engineering colleges in Orissa

(Update on June 17 2008:  For guidance on what you can get with your Orissa JEE rank in 2008, please see https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1185 I do not have more information than that.)

The following is from our earlier post titled: "2007 ranking of Orissa Engineering colleges that participated in BPUT counseling – solely based on student preferences."

Continuing with our methodology, and solely based on the student preferences in the GE (general) category,  we develop a ranking below. Our methodology is we compare when the various branches of the colleges get finished.  For example below when we write CET (8, 8, 12, 12, 16) it means that two of the CET branches were all finished in the GE category by the ranks 800, two by 1200 and one by 1600. We will use the first three numbers unless it becomes necessary to go beyond that.

  • 1. UCE Burla (8,8,12,12,16)
  • 1. CET Bhubaneswar  (8,8,12,12,16)
  • 2. ITER Bhubaneswar (16,16,16)
  • 3. Silicon Bhubaneswar (16, 20, 20)
  • 4. CV Raman Bhubaneswar (20,24,28)
  • 5. NIST Berhampur (24, 24, 28)
  • 6. GITA  Bhubaneswar(28,28,32)
  • 7. Orissa Eng College Bhubaneswar (28, 28, 36)
  • 7. IGIT Sarang (20,28,45)
  • 8. College of Eng Bhubaneswar (36,36,41)
  • 9. Gandhi Eng College Bhubaneswar (36,41,45)
  • 10. Krupajala Bhubaneswar (45,45,45)
  • 10. Trident Bhuabneswar (41, 45, 50)
  • 11. East Bhubaneswar (45,55,66)
  • 11. Gandhi Inst for Tech Bhubaneswar (50,50,60)
  • 11. GIET Gunupur (50,50,60)
  • 12. Orissa school of mining eng Keonjhar (45, 55, 117)
  • 13. NMIET Bhubaneswar (66, 72, 78)
  • 14. DRIEMS Dhenkanala(72,72,100)
  • 15. Konark Bhubaneswar (78, 78, 117)
  • 15. Koustuva Bhubaneswar (78, 100, 100)
  • 15. Mahavir Bhubaneswar (78, 84, 100)
  • 15. Synergy Dhenkanal (78, 84, 100)
  • 16. Nalanda Bhubaneswar (84, 84, 100)
  • 17. Rajdhani Bhubaneswar (84, 100, 100)
  • 18. Roland Berhampur (84,100, 108)
  • 19. Techno Bhubaneswar (84, 100, 117)
  • 19. Padmanav Rourkela (100,100,100)
  • 20. Ajay Binay Cuttack (100,100,117)
  • 21. Ghanashyam Hemalata  Puri(100,108,136)
  • 22. Jagannath Cuttack (108,117,147)
  • 22. Bhadrakh (117,117, 136)
  • 23. JITM Parlakhemundi (117,126,147)
  • 24. Inst of Adv Rayagada (117,136,159)
  • 24. Sanjay Memorial Berhampur (117,147,159)
  • 24. Purushottam Rourkela (126,126,136)
  • 26. Balasore (136,136,159)
  • 27. Seemanta Mayurbhanj (159, 159, 186)
  • 28. Padmashree Baragarh (172,172,200)
  • 29. Majighariani Rayagada (172,200,200)
  • 30. Satyasai Balasore (159, 172, 999)
  • 31. Samanta Chandra Sekhar Koraput (186,999,999)
  • 32. Gopal Krishna Jeypore (999,999,999)

The colleges that are missing from the above are NIT Rourkela, and KIIT. I consider NIT Rourkela to currently be the best in Orissa. I would slot KIIT around ITER and Silicon.

Outlook for 2008-2009:

Now that ITER’s parent organization Siksha O Anusandhan has become a deemed university, ITER may opt out of Orissa JEE and/or 2008 BPUT counseling.

In 2008 and 2009 there would be several new colleges.

Developing the Berhampur-Bhubaneswar knowledge corridor

The existing and would be Knowledge Corridors of India[1] are:

(i) Kharagpur-Kolkata(116 kms)-Kalyani (50 kms from Howrah Station):  Kharagpur has the IIT, World Class Central University will be near Kolkata, IIM is in Kolkata, ISI is in Kolkata, and IISER will be in Haringhata, Kalyani.

(ii) Mumbai-Pune 150 kms (176 kms by rail): Mumbai has the IIT, Pune has the IISER, the world class central university will be in Pune.

(iii) Bangalore-Mysore 140 kms (138 kms by rail): IISc and IIM are in Bangalore, World Class central University will be in Mysore.

(iv) Indore-Bhopal 186 kms (218 kms by rail): IIM is in Indore, IIT will be in Indore, IISER and World class central university will be in Bhopal.

(v) Amritsar-Ropar-Chandigarh (217 kms): IISER is near Chandigarh, World class central university will be in Amritsar, IIT will be in Ropar 45 kms from Chandigarh.

Thus we propose the following major Knowledge Corridor (rather network) in Orissa[2]:

Cuttack-Bhubaneswar-Berhampur and Bhubaneswar-Puri-Vedanta University  

Berhampur to Bhubaneswar is 179 kms by road[3]  and 165 kms by rail. The following table shows the distance by rail with respect to the Cuttack-Bhubaneswar-Berhampur corridor.

To develop the Berhampur-Bhubaneswar corridor it is most important that anchor institutions be established in Berhampur. With IIT and IIIT seeming to slip more towards the Bhubaneswar side all out efforts should be made for an NIT (one of the proposed 10 new NITs in the 11th plan) in Berhampur and to upgrade MKCG Medical College to the AIIMS level. For the later one may note that some of the other states will be having multiple institutions either upgraded or newly made to AIIMS level.

 


 

[1] Some others are: Raipur-Bilaspur 111 kms (110 kms by rail): Raipur has NIT and will have IIM, Bilaspur will have a central university.

Kozhikode-Kochi 181 kms (190 kms by rail): Kozhikode has the IIM; Kochi will have the world class central university.

Kochi-Trivendrum 220 kms (206 kms by rail): IISER and IIST (Indian Inst. of Space Sc. & Technology) are being made at Trivendrum

[2] A second corridor in Orissa that could be developed is: Raurkela-Jharsuguda-Sambalpur 173 kms (151 kms by rail)
