Governor Satya Pal Malik rated the universities of Odisha better than those of Bihar’s

Governor and chancellor of Bihar and Odisha Satya Pal Malik said that the universities in the Odisha are performing way better than the universities in Bihar. However, he was concerned about the fact that the none of the universities from either state managed in the top 100 list of the universities. "I am also the chancellor of universities in Bihar but I am really happy to share that universities in Odisha are doing far better than their counterparts in Bihar, Malik said. Unlike Bihar where mafia raj rules the education system, exams are not conducted in fair means and academic calendar does not exist, there is no such problem in Odisha, he pointed out. Of late a number of reform initiatives have been taken for bringing transparency and fairness in the education system in Bihar and I would like to replicate a few here also like the common entrance test for all the  universities," said Malik. Malik further said to motivate all the higher education institutes that they must make constant efforts and take new initiatives to improve their research quality and education. He also stressed the fact that use of technology should be given priority in all educational fields. He then drew attention to the need of the students' union elections and said, "I am an output of students politics and there are several bright examples of political leaders who started their career from students' union elections. University authorities must ensure a fair and violence- free election in educational institutes." He then addresses the VCs of the universities and urged them to improve the industry-academia interface and sign MoUs with other universities and institutions to increase the quality of the research. Vice chancellor of BPUT, Chittaranajan Tripathy said, "We have decided to make internship mandatory from first year of BTech courses from the next academic session so that students will get better field exposure."
