Heads up: That NIRF #9 is for Law
SOA's NIRF Rank 9 shines in the Law category—not Engineering. The B.Tech ECE program is AICTE-approved and sits inside a NAAC 'A' grade university, but don't let the headline rank confuse your research. Scope out the ECE department's labs and faculty on your campus visit.
The verdict
Good fit
If you want an ECE degree in Odisha with solid placements—80% placed at an average ₹5.5 LPA—and a syllabus that actually covers VLSI, 5G, and IoT, SOA is a strong contender. You're paying ₹14L total for a private-tier, AICTE-approved tag. Just go in with eyes open: the NIRF hype is for Law, not Engineering, so lean on the department's labs and alumni network to maximize your ROI.
