HOUSES

On admission into the first year the students are divided into different Houses. The concept behind this grouping is to build character, relationships, and team spirit. This system of House Group is found to be very dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. The student admitted in the house in the first year shall continue in the same house until passing out from the institute. It’s not only the students, the staff are also part of this House System.

While assigning House to the students’ certain criteria are kept in mind. The students are equally divided in all the Houses, that is each group has equal number of Boys and Girls. It is also made sure that each house has equal number of students from all the Departments.

Each House has a Lead Mentor who takes the full responsibility of the House. The staffs shall be divided equally between houses at random.

All the competitions in the college are held House-Wise. The House Concept has a positive impact on motivation and behavior, as well as encouraging a sense of identity and belonging among the students. A sense of camaraderie, teamwork and healthy competition is nurtured, which contributes to a thriving culture.

His essay book Suna Parikshya earned him the Odisha Sahitya Academy Award. Prof. Behera was awarded the Utkal Ratna in 1998.

[4] Kalam House – Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was an aerospace scientist who served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007.

This phenomenon was a new type of scattering of light and was subsequently known as the Raman effect (Raman scattering). His works earned him the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics and was the first Indian or Asian or non-white person to receive Nobel Prize in any branch of science.
