Employment Opportunities after completion of M.Com program are: Professional Accountancy, Investment Banking, Investment analysis, Management consultancy, Financial management in reputed companies, Business Analyst, Financial Analysts, Executive Assistant, Securities Analyst, Risk Analysts, Consultant in Banks, Research & NGO, Chartered Accountancy(C.A), Company secretary(C.S), Cost & Management Accountancy(C.M.A), Certified Public accounting (C.P.A), M.B.A- Master of Business Administration(Marketing Management, Financial Management, Human Resource Management, Banking & Insurance Management).

This program is different from the usual M.Sc. Program due to the fact that it provides a deeper knowledge not only in Physics but Photonics as well. After this PG degree, students can have an equally poised career in Physics as well as Photonics. While the knowledge in Physics will give the degree holder an opportunity to work in academics and research related to Physics; the knowledge in Photonics will help him to have a career in academics, research, and industry related to Photonics. Numbers of Photonics industries such as Lasers, Fiber Optics, Solar Photovoltaics, Lighting, Displays, etc require personnel trained in Photonics. The program is a perfect blend of Physics and Photonics and it certainly has a very good job potential.

The department of metallurgy is one of the best departments at IIT Bhubaneswar. After the CSE department, the metallurgical department got 90% placement from IIT Bhubaneswar in 2019. The metallurgy is the only department in which the 2nd year students get internships. IIT Bhubaneswar also signed MoU with Shanghai Jiao Tong University exclusively for metallurgical students. As Odisha is blessed with minerals there is an abundance of field trips. The institute has experienced professors in the department in their respective background and currently, the faculty members are engaged in various research projects sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Orisha, and also few consultancy projects for companies like Tata Steel Limited, Tata International Limited, etc.

The department of metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar has well-furnished laboratories equipped with state-of-art instruments. The environment is also research-oriented. Further, many students have also gone abroad for further research.

The hostel facilities at IIT Bhubaneswar are quite good. Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar provides hostel for the M.Tech students. For the 1st year students of M.Tech, the hostel used to be 20 km far from the main campus it was quite difficult for the students. But from 2019, July the M.Tech students are given hostel accommodation in the permanent Argul Campus. Students are placed in Brahmaputra Hall of Residence(Boys), and Ganga Hall of Residence(Girls)

You can buy basic amenities like Mattress, Bed Sheet, Pillow, Pillow Cover, Soap, Bucket, Mug, Broomstick, Cycles, Notebooks, Bags, etc in hostel premises. Now coming to the hostel part the hostel is 2 seater and spacious and the hostels are equipped for all necessary requirements.
