The verdict
Worth considering
SOA Bhubaneswar offers a grounded, core mechanical pathway with legacy recruiters like Tata Motors and L&T. The ₹14 lakh fee is reasonable for a deemed university, but the ₹4.8 LPA average means ROI will be gradual. It’s a solid pick if you love building physical systems and want stability over instant tech salaries, though sharper data transparency would help.
