By checking randomly I have found that people have gotton ranks beyond 39,000. No official word yet about the total number of qualified candidates for B.Engg and total number of seats.
In 2007, there were 43 colleges that took students based on Orissa JEE and ranks were initially given till 34835 and after the initial counseling there was another JEE to fill leftover seats and in two additional colleges (Indus and Templecity). In 2008 there were 18 more colleges and ITER became a deemed university, taking the total number of colleges taking students from JEE to 43+2+18-1=62. This year (2009) 25-30 new coleges are expected. We will post the details as they become available.
For students wanting to know what they can get based on their, a very very rough idea can be obtained by looking at the 2007 data at https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1185. However, there were several new colleges in 2008 which were much better than the earlier colleges. Some of those are:
- Apex (run by the same people who run NIST Berhampur)
- Centurion (run by the same people who run JITM, Parlakhemundi)
(By the way, JITM Parlakhemundi is a good college and run by good people. Check their web page. The location is also beautiful. I visited it. For some reason students overlook it. Later this year or early next year there will be direct train to Parlakhemundi.)
Also, Templecity (two of its cofounders were the cofounders of KIIT) and Indus (its founder, an IIT Kharagur graduate and with a Ph.D from Houston USA, was instrumental in making NIST Berhampur a top college) that were established in 2007 but were not in the initial list are both good colleges.
This year couple of new colleges that are expected to be very good are:
- Bhubaneswar Institute of Technology (Note their promoters. It includes several top notch professors from the US)
- Silicon Institute of Technology Sambalpur (This is being made and will be run by the same people who made and run the top-notch Silicon School in Bhubaneswar)
- IIIT Bhubaneswar (It is aiming to start B. Tech programs this year and may take students through Orissa JEE)
