Overview
About DRIEMS University
DRIEMS University, Odisha is an university in Cuttack, Odisha, established in 1999. DRIEMS University, Odisha is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to DRIEMS University, Odisha. DRIEMS University, Odisha offers 23 programmes, 9 at undergraduate level and 7 at postgraduate level. These include School of Engineering & Technology: Engineering programmes (UG), School of Engineering & Technology: Engineering programmes (PG), School of Management: Management programmes (UG), School of Management: Management programmes (PG) and School of Management: Management programmes (Doctoral), among others. DRIEMS University is a state private, unitary and non-affiliating university headquartered at Kairapari, Kotsahi, Tangi, Cuttack, Odisha, established under the DRIEMS University Odisha Act, 2022 (Act No. 6 of 2023). The official 2026 mandatory disclosure identifies Prof. (Dr.) Prakash Kumar Hota as Vice-Chancellor and reports 190 regular faculty. The 2026-27 PhD page confirms doctoral programmes in Engineering, Management, Natural Sciences, Nursing and Pharmacy. No exact attendance threshold, medium of instruction, laboratory count, named industry partner, teaching hospital, or detailed faculty-rank breakdown was stated in the reviewed official sources. The Act permits a future Institute of Health Science and Hospital but does not establish an operational teaching hospital in the evidence reviewed. The 2026-27 official brochure and the university's Act-and-Statutes page state that DRIEMS originated/evolved from the Dhaneswar Rath Institute of Engineering and Management Studies in 1999. The DRIEMS University, Odisha Act is a 2022 Act (published as Odisha Act 6 of 2023) establishing the private, unitary and non-affiliating university; 2022 is therefore recorded as the legal-university framework year, not the institutional origin year. The official admission page states 150 acres, while the current 2026-27 brochure states 160 acres; the current brochure figure is used. The university is self-awarding and non-affiliating under the Act. The AISHE PDF opened did not show a DRIEMS entry, and no AISHE code is recorded. No DRIEMS University entry was found in the UGC fake-universities or defaulter lists opened.
