The Odisha Educational Council to track Engineering Colleges

The government of Odisha under the leadership of Shri Naveen Pattanayak gave way to the creation of Odisha State Higher Education Council. This body will function to make the state of Odisha one of the best places to pursue higher education in India. All institutions of higher education, whether it is engineering, medical or any other was under the direct control of the state government in the absence of any regulatory authority. The Odisha State Higher Educational Council will now not only look into the preparation of the curriculum but also monitor aspects related to admissions and fee structure.

The Odisha State Higher Educational Council will be headed by the state minister for higher education along with a fifteen member team to help in the overall functioning of the council. The year 2017 witnessed a sharp fall in the number of seats available for taking admission in B.Tech  in the state of Odisha. The changes in the number of seats in government engineering college, however, remained unchanged. The Odisha State Council of Higher Education will monitor these changes henceforth. The government engineering colleges in Odisha provides a good environment and high-quality education to students pursuing engineering from these colleges.
