The UG campus would be housing ASBMIT, ASBM School of Information Technology, Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) discipline and junior college for plus 2 commerce course. …
All the decisions were taken at ASBM’s Board of Governors (BoG) meeting on July 2, 2007.
…, " a total of around Rs 20 crore would be invested in future for setting up the degree engineering college, school of information technology and other courses like BBA and plus 2 commerce".
With the higher education department of the Orissa government already announcing that provisions are being kept in the state for setting up 6 private universities, Pattanayak said, "ASBM’s name figures prominently among them and we are awaiting the government approval".
As for the engineering course, it would have four streams – electronics and telecommunication ( E&TC), electronics and electrical engineering ( E&E), Computer Science and Information Technology ( IT).
During the first academic year 240 students would be admitted to the engineering degree course. The School of Information Technology would be having a 2-year course where the basic focus would be on Information Technology (IT) management. The end view for the school is to get comfortable placements for students in different IT multinationals. ...

Following is an ad on this that appeared in Samaja.

The following are some instructions about the previous posting titled "Orissa engineering colleges in the AICTE list and their number of seats (July 12 2007)."
It is from http://www.aicte.ernet.in/approval/engg_LIST/Orissa.doc (as of July 12 2007) reached via http://www.aicte.ernet.in/app_inst_new.htm after clicking the scrolling sentence in AICTE web page that says "Approval status 2007-08 as on 05-07-2007." The Orissa JEE counseling brochure has a few other colleges that are not in this list. For BPUT to put them in the Orissa JEE counseling brochure these colleges must have some sort of approval. Beyond that I can not guess why they are not in the latest AICTE list. Sometimes AICTE has multiple lists in its web pages. If people have doubts about these colleges they should ask BPUT to give them some written guarantee/proof regarding these colleges when counseling or during admission.
The last two columns of that article denote "Existing intake for 2006-07" and "Approved intake for 2007-08." Please note that they are not properly aligned. (I am having problems with the editor when copying and pasting from word documents.)

Until last year Rourkela had two institutions that offered management (MBA or equivalent) programs. They are:
This year IIPM Kansbahal (20 kms from Rourkela on the Rourkela-Sambalpur highway) will start an MBA program under the auspicies of BPUT. This program is approved by AICTE. This program is promoted by L & T and ICICI. Thus this is expected to be a good program.
Next year NIT Rourkela will start an MBA program. This should also be a very good program.

Samaja reports that Chandipur PXE has received a national research award.

I came across the following ad for the IIPM School of management, Rourkela. Its web URL is the same as that as of the Indian Institute of Production Management in Kansvahal. The later has been around for 24 years. According to an announcement in their web page this will be the first year of their MBA program. Based on their faculty list and their promoters (ICICI and L & T) this program should become a ranked program in the near future. Its not clear if the advertised IIPM school of management in Rourkela will be a program conducted in Kansvahal campus or they will build a new campus in Rourkela.
One other thing to note is that they are both different from the IIPM – Indian School of Planning and Management about which there is some controversy.
