ORISSA Joint Entrance Examination
Orissa Joint Entrance Examination is an examination for the admission of candidates into the management, pharmacy and technical courses in the state of Orissa. Orissa-JEE was meant to consolidate all the entrance examination in the state of Orissa under one umbrella exam that would cater for all of them. This helps a lot since it was going to save a lot of time and money for anyone who wanted to sit the examination. The uniformity in the admission standards of all the courses in Orissa has its benefits since this exam is now seen as a high standard one. The Orissa-JEE is applicable to all the universities in the state of Orissa and given its reputation for being one of high quality, it is the reason why many more institutions are going for it. Many institutions are subject to the Orissa-JEE including government and private universities and colleges.
Orissa-JEE was started in 1979 and was first done by R.E.C. Rourkela; one of the first engineering colleges in Orissa. At the moment there are many more colleges that are subject to Orissa-JEE and many more disciplines that fall under the umbrella of Orissa-JEE. At the moment the disciplines include pharmacy, management, hotel management and catering, architecture and engineering courses among others. It is expected that in the near future all the disciplines in the universities in Orissa will be subject to this one examination’s standards. The numbers of colleges and universities that are subject to Orissa-JEE’s selection are increasing and so is the demand for applicants who want to sit the examination. To colleges and institutions of higher learning, this is one of the most respected means of selection of candidates for their programs.
