A student writes

“The ambience, the faculty members, the infrastructure; everything is first class here.”

Life is a tough nut to break so far as success is concerned. Success is the result of so many things taken together, such as indefatigable endeavour, necessary guidance and motivation selecting a good institute to study with exponential faculty support and lot more coming from my home town Nayagarh. I was at a loss as to where to pursue my higher education after +2 sciences. Then I decided upon Jupiter Degree College as one of my seniors suggested it. And it was all history. The ambience, the faculty members, the infrastructure; everything is first class here and I pursued my +3 science with Physics as my Honours subject. Now, after getting a good percentage of marks I qualified for IIT–JAM with good percentile score and got admitted at NIT, Warangal. I am indebted to Jupiter Degree College to a great extent for this.

A parent writes

“It’s my proud privilege that he cleared IIT-JAM and got chance at various NITs.”

My son Debaranjan Patra was the 1st batch student of Jupiter Degree College in Physics Honours. He is extremely happy with his performance and teaching learning process. It’s my proud privilege that he cleared IIT-JAM and got chance at various NITs. Presently he completed his masters from Jadavpur University, Kolkata and he is planning for doctoral degree. I take this opportunity and thank Jupiter Degree College and all teachers involved with this for making my child worthy.
