Every single rejection was worth going through that mental trauma. I never had the attitude of giving up, good things take time and in my case, it’s very much evident. I had the hope of making into one of the product based company and lastly I made it through.

Women’s Mentoring Program
The Women’s Mentoring Program is open to diploma, undergraduate and graduate students of the University. During the course of their studies, the mentees are paired with a female mentor in their personal and professional fields of interest. Mentors and mentees decide on the format of their mentoring relationship and the time commitment they wish to make. All are required to meet at least once in a fortnight and during the mentor appreciation event. All the mentors have undergone mandatory All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Universal Human Value program.
Basic guidelines for mentors
The mentor must:
- Have full knowledge of the University, its mission and vision.
- Keep abreast with the University rules, both academic and services.
- Grasp the Institutional values and understand the University culture.
- Bear in mind that each Department and programme has its own culture, requirement for a degree / certificate and career trajectories. One may need to develop a resource network and take help of peer mentoring, both at faculty and students’ levels.
- Provide students with frank, helpful and timely feedback on their work.
- Temper criticism with praise when it is deserved and hold students to high standards to help them improve.
- Not assume that students who fall behind in work lack commitment. Instead, they must try to assess with the students what is going on and offer ways to help.
- Know the benefit of early intervention and address quickly any issues related to students’ ability to complete his / her programme.
- Avoid offering a goal but help students work towards it.
- Be flexible and consider mentoring as an opportunity to help shaping a student’s life beyond the designated class hours.
The University has endeavoured to encourage women`s application in subject areas where they are underrepresented by the following approaches:
- Counselling by experts: In India, there is always a centrism for the technical and non-technical courses. It has been observed that few of the courses are mostly selected by men than women which had caused no good parity of gender in such courses. The University endeavours to alter such mind-set of women students through dedicated counselling by admission experts.
- Special scholarship: All the girl students studying unconventional courses are provided with additional benefits like percent waiver in tuition fee, one time grant at the discretion of the Vice Chancellor, etc.
Increase in rate of women’s application
The endeavours of the University have resulted in increase in rate of application by 13% in the year 2020-2021 in comparison with the previous year. In a forward attempt, special focus has been given to graduate programs such as Bachelors: agriculture, sciences, business administration and forensic science, and it has yielded good results. Similar attention has been paid to undergraduate programs in sciences, pharmacy, business administration, computer application and allied health sciences to encourage more female applicants.
The aforementioned actions have yielded stupendous result in graduate programs such as Masters: agriculture, business administration and forensic sciences where the women application rate rose by 212%, 222% and 79% respectively for the year 2020-21 in comparison with the previous year. Profound increase in women application rate was seen for undergraduate programs like business administration, commerce and media studies where it proliferated by 63%, 566% and 100% for the year 2020-21 in comparison to the previous year.

The University strives toward development and wellness of local communities. It has adopted 5 villages in Gajapati District of Odisha which are Engersingh, Badigam, Barlanda, Jhampiguda and Routpur. It conducts participatory development programmes in these villages and also aims to promote a good and healthy life style among the people.

In a span of 4 years in my engineering career I never thought about any top company. The only thing I did was I kept on focusing on my passion and that is coding. When you keep working the results are obvious. Then I got a chance to be interviewed by Dassault Systemes. I initially thought that this interview would be an experience. It was my life’s first interview, I just represented everything I knew and I got selected . The process was smooth. I ma thankful to my staff and placement team for such an opportunity.
