Current and former students of College of Engineering and Technology, Bhubaneswar (CETB), a premier government-run engineering college, have launched a massive campaign demanding unitary university status for their institute.
“In 1981, CETB was set up with an objective to develop the institute at par with IITs. However, CETB has been clubbed with more than 100 private engineering colleges of Odisha under aegis of Biju Patnaik University of Technology,” said Padarabinda Samal, an alumnus.
“With over 7000 illustrious alumni from across 35 batches, CETB has footprint across the globe. Distinguished alumni of CETB are placed in top positions in many global universities and multinational companies,” he said.
