See all 6 →How to choose between them
Start with the fee you can commit to. Across Odisha the published first-year fee runs from ₹9,285 to ₹28.4 L, so the shortlist changes completely depending on the band you pick.
Check the ranking applies to your course. 2 of these hold an NIRF rank, but NIRF is scored per category — a rank in one category says nothing about another.
Then read the placement tab, not the headline package. The highest package is one student; the percentage placed and the recruiters listed tell you far more.
