Hello Anurag

No, it's not compulsory to give the entrance exam in Odia for admission to Bhubaneswar Polytechnic.

The entrance exam can be written in either Odia or English, depending on your preference.

Most students choose English, especially if they studied in English-medium schools.

Odia is only required if you're claiming certain local category reservations or showing it as a subject you studied.

So, if you are applying under the general category, you can safely appear for the exam in English—no need to worry about an Odia paper.
