You have to contact the respective department. One of my friends who was preparing for the MFC exam got all the questions from the office of the Department of Commerce. They may charge you but it is a very reasonable amount.  It also depends on whether the department is giving the questions. For example, the MBA Department does not give any question papers for certain reasons.

Here is how you can get your transcripts from BPUT.  From the BPUT website, download the application form for transcripts. Write a covering letter to the director/principal of your college and state the reasons why you require your transcripts. Make demand draft according to the number of transcripts you require. Print out the application requirement of the college you are applying. Visit your college and get all the above papers verified and signed by your college director/principal. At the BPUT Rourkela office, apply in person for the transcripts with all the verified documents.  The university usually takes 7 days to process the request. You can collect the transcripts after that.

One of my friends recently graduated from Utkal University. According to him, here are some things you can do. Make your classes your first priority. Try to secure perfect attendance in all your classes. Complete all your assignments and submissions before the deadline. Study twice as hard. Your professor is your advocate. Do not let yourself get intimidated by your professor. Try actively participating in at least one organized extracurricular activity. Make a habit of taking running notes.  Take an active approach in your class. This will enhance your leadership skills. Always remember that every person you meet in your college has something to offer intellectually. Your education will give you skills that will help you make a positive mark.

Over the last few years, Utkal University placements have been good for MBA. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest and average CTC offered was INR 7 LPA and INR 5.5 LPA, respectively. The major recruiters that took part in the placement drive were Infosys, ICICI, Indian Oil, LG, VNR Seeds, etc. 

You should check your college library, usually, all leading college libraries get a copy of past years’ papers as a master copy. You can also collect it from your seniors. Get in contact with your seniors through social media or college ex-association.  You should note that Utakal University changed its examination pattern a few years backs. Students who got admission from 2016-17 academic year give examination in semester format. Previously, exams were in yearly format. So, it’s better to collect question papers from recent graduates. 

Utkal University PG entrance examinations aim to test your fundamentals and basic knowledge in the subject. Here are some of the things that can help you with your preparations.  Collect previous year’s question papers. You can get them from the department/library.  There are also some guidebooks available for the entrance examination. But try not to rely too much on the guidebooks. Clear your basics from 10+2 and graduation. Read different magazines on Economics and keep an eye on current affairs. Some departments of UU offer scholarships to students who score well in entrance examinations. So, try to score well.

It depends on the course you are applying for. Utkal University only offers Master’s degree and above for Arts, Science and Commerce. Professional courses like Pharmacy, only have bachelor’s programs.  UU offers masters in 32-35 subjects from Arts, Science, Commerce, and technical courses like M.Tech in Computer Science, etc. There are also various self-financing courses like MBA, MCA, IMBA, IMCA, etc.  The entrance pattern for these subjects varies according to the departments. 

In terms of academics, Utkal University will a decent option. The faculties at the university are well-experienced. Teaching methodology used at UU is better than other universities in Odisha. The environment at the university is great for academics. You will get to learn a lot from the faculties and it will expand your outlook.  However, the placement opportunities are limited at UU, since there are only a few companies at Orisha. But if you are serious about your studies and have the required skills, you can easily get jobs from off-campus placement.

M.Com is basically an extension of B.Com. If you want to pursue M.Com from Utkal University be through with your B.Com syllabus. Give emphasis on subjects like Accounts, Management, Law, Tax, Business Ethics, and Finance. If possible revise your basic knowledge about Accounts from 12th CBSE books.  There will be practical-based fundamental MCQ and non-MCQ questions. After you are done with your syllabus, practice at least 5 previous year’s question papers. You can easily get them online. At the time of examination be careful about time management.

I have a few friends from Utkal University, who used to stay in hostels. According to them, you can go out of hostels. You need to be back before the notified time in the evening. If you need to stay out beyond the curfew time, you will have to get permission from the superintendent or the deputy superintendent. If you need to stay out of the hostel for more than one day you will have to apply through proper channel.  In case of departmental occasions like freshers’ party or annual day, you can stay out late. An application forwarded by the departmental head will be enough.
