Shoaib Ali Khan
Placed at IndiGo after the 2024 batch
I was a student of Utkal Aerospace and Engineering, passed out in 2024. I did the AME course, a three-year programme, and after completion I got placement from IndiGo. I am now working as a trainee engineer at IndiGo. I'm very grateful I got this opportunity.
Soumya
Facilities and faculty
I am truly impressed by the excellent academic environment, modern facilities and supportive faculty. The institution's commitment to quality education and student development makes it a great place for learning and growth.
AB Production
Says fees quoted at admission were not final
Extremely disappointed with the lack of fee transparency here. At admission they quoted one price, but they later demanded additional payments for training that were never mentioned upfront. I strongly advise prospective students to get a full, written fee structure including all hidden costs before joining, as the final cost is much higher than advertised.
Arjun Sahoo
Same complaint, independently
This college is not honouring its own written fee structure after admission. At admission they show one price to attract students, but later demand additional payments for training that were never mentioned upfront. I strongly suggest prospective students get a full written fee structure including all hidden costs before joining.
Srabani Mohanty
Hidden fees beyond the course fee
Lots of hidden fees from students beyond the normal course fee.
