Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday approved the master plan for the development of Odisha University of Technology and Research (OUTR), previously College of Engineering and Technology (CET), in Bhubaneswar.

The State Government is to spend Rs 1,500 crore in three phases in three years for the upgradation of the institution to bring it at par with reputed technical institutions such as IIM, IIT, and NIT through the development of infrastructure and human resources. Rs 1,000 crore is to be invested in the first year alone.

While 4,600 students are currently studying at OUTR, it will be developed with a target to accommodate 10,000 students in the next five years.
